Post-Translational Modifications in Oocyte Maturation and Embryo Development
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Mammalian oocyte maturation and embryo development are unique biological processes regulated by various modifications. Since de novo mRNA transcription is absent during oocyte meiosis, protein-level regulation, especially post-translational modification (

Oocyte Competence Biomarkers Associated With Oocyte Maturation: A Review
Frontiers 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 ...

Novel Concepts for Inducing Final Oocyte Maturation in In Vitro Fertilization Treatment
Endocrine Reviews, 2018 Infertility affects one in six of the population and increasingly couples require treatment with assisted reproductive techniques. In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment is most commonly conducted using exogenous FSH to induce follicular growth and human
