Ion currents modulating oocyte maturation in animals

open access: yes, 2013
Growing oocytes are arrested at the first prophase of meiosis which is morphologically identified by the presence of a large and vesicular nucleus, called germinal vesicle.

Somatic cell reprogramming for Parkinson's disease treatment

open access: yesIbrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 59-73, Spring 2025.
The fundamental purpose of cell reprogramming to treat Parkinson's disease is to generate dopaminergic neurons (DAN) and do transplantation. There are two ways to accomplish this. One method is to induce cells into induced DA neurons (iDAN) directly or to induce cells into induced pluripotent stem cells and ultimately into iDAN in vitro. Another option

DNA methylation mechanisms in the maturing and ageing oocyte

open access: yesEpigenetics & Chromatin
Oocyte maturation involves both nuclear and cytoplasmic processes that are critical for the acquisition of oocyte competence. Granulosa cells, surrounding the oocyte, play a pivotal role in the maturation process, with mechanisms such as cAMP signaling ...

A C-type lectin associated and translocated with cortical granules during oocyte maturation and egg fertilization in fish

open access: yes, 2004
Oocyte maturation and egg fertilization in both vertebrates and invertebrates are marked by orchestrated cytoplasmic translocation of secretory vesicles known as cortical granules.

Characterization of Oocyte Maturation in Diabetic Mice

open access: yes, 2002
Oogenesis is the process by which large precursor cells, primordial germ cells, differentiate into mature germ cells in the female. This process includes mitotic divisions to increase the number of precursor cells and meiosis to produce haploid gametes ...

Optimizing outcomes in intrauterine insemination: A narrative synthesis of two decades of clinical research (2000–2024)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a widely used first‐line fertility treatment, yet its success rates vary considerably. This review synthesizes evidence from peer‐reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2024, including randomized controlled trials, cohort and case–control studies, as well as systematic and narrative reviews identified ...

Porcine oocyte maturation in vitro : role of cAMP and oocyte-secreted factors: a practical approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Polyspermy or the penetration of more than one sperm cell remains a problem during porcine in vitro fertilization (IVF). After in vitro culture of porcine zygotes, only a low percentage of blastocysts develop and their quality is inferior to that of in ...

Luteal phase stimulation versus follicular phase stimulation in poor ovarian responders: A systematic review and a meta‐analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Poor ovarian response (POR) complicates a substantial proportion of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, frequently causing cycle cancellation and suboptimal reproductive outcomes. Conventional follicular‐phase ovarian stimulation (FPOS) protocols often yield limited results, prompting the evaluation of alternative strategies such ...

Role of the Hyaluronan receptor CD44 during porcine oocyte maturation

open access: yes, 2007
Previous of our study have been shown that CD44, the principal receptor of hyaluronan, is present in cumulus cell during oocyte maturation.Although hyaluronan-CD44 interaction has been implicated in cumulus expansion and/or oocyte maturation, the full ...

Efficacy and related factors of levonorgestrel‐releasing intrauterine system combined with metformin in fertility‐preserving treatment for atypical endometrial hyperplasia and early endometrial cancer: A retrospective cohort study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To compare the efficacy of the levonorgestrel‐releasing intrauterine system combined with metformin versus oral progestin combined with metformin in fertility‐preserving treatment for patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia and early endometrial cancer, and to analyze related factors affecting efficacy.
