Oocyte cryopreservation [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Reproduction, 1998
Cryopreservation of human oocytes has been employed with little success in clinical practice, even though it may solve the legal and ethical problems linked to embryo freezing. Various attempts to cryopreserve human oocytes have mostly been unsuccessful, leading to low oocyte survival rates after thawing, and the search for an optimal protocol for ...

Oocyte maturation [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Reproduction, 1998
Primary oocytes recovered from small and growing follicles of > or = 3 mm in the ovaries of untreated women, can be matured in vitro, will fertilize and develop in vitro, and when transferred to the patient, develop to term. However, the implantation rate of cleaved embryos has been disappointingly low and when embryos are allowed to develop beyond the

An Eight Year Experience of Autologous Oocyte Vitrification for Infertile Patients Owing to Unavailability of Sperm on Oocyte Retrieval Day

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2021
Objective: The objective of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of the clinical outcomes achieved in oocyte vitrification in cases where sperm was unavailable on oocyte retrieval day, and to identify predictors of oocyte survival.Methods ...

Nampt-mediated spindle sizing secures a post-anaphase increase in spindle speed required for extreme asymmetry

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Meiotic cell division in oocytes is asymmetric and requires microtubule spindle migration after anaphase-onset. Here, the authors show that Nampt, an enzyme of the Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthetic pathway, contributes to post-anaphase

Oocyte specific lncRNA variant Rose influences oocyte and embryo development

open access: yesNon-coding RNA Research, 2021
Fully grown mammalian oocytes store a large amount of RNA synthesized during the transcriptionally active growth stage. A large part of the stored RNA belongs to the long non-coding class which contain either transcriptional noise or important ...

Is there an optimal timing interval between hCG trigger and oocyte vitrification?

open access: yesTaiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2022
Objective: Oocyte vitrification has been developed as a promising alternative to slow freezing; however, the clinical outcome is highly operator dependent.

Is It Possible to Expand Oocyte Donors by Decreasing Number of Oocytes for Own Use? Insights From a Large Single-Center Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
BackgroundCurrently, in China, only women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles can donate oocytes to others, but at least 15 oocytes must be kept for their own treatment.

Oocyte Competence Biomarkers Associated With Oocyte Maturation: A Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Oocyte developmental competence is one of the determining factors that influence the outcomes of an IVF cycle regarding the ability of a female gamete to reach maturation, be fertilized, and uphold an embryonic development up until the blastocyst stage ...

Cdk1 inactivation induces post-anaphase-onset spindle migration and membrane protrusion required for extreme asymmetry in mouse oocytes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Female meiotic divisions are asymmetric with the formation of large oocytes and small polar bodies, thought to result from cortical spindle placement before anaphase.

Review: Environment of the ovulatory follicle: modifications and use of biotechnologies to enhance oocyte competence and increase fertility in cattle

open access: yesAnimal, 2023
The oocyte is the basis of life, supporting development from a fertilized cell to an independent multicellular organism. The oocyte’s competence to drive the first cell cycles postfertilization are critical to embryonic survival and subsequent successful
