Identification of optimal assisted aspiration conditions of oocytes for use in porcine in vitro maturation: a re-evaluation of the relationship between the cumulus oocyte complex and oocyte quality [PDF]
The quality of porcine oocytes for use in IVF is commonly graded according to the number of layers of cumulus cells surrounding the oocyte; together these form the cumulus oocyte complex (COC).

Changes in expression of TNF alpha and its receptors mRNAs in oocytes and granulosa cells in mice with experimental immune ovarian failure [PDF]
Purpose: To investigate the expression of TNF- α and its receptors (types I and II) at mRNA level in oocytes and granulose cells as well as to study effect of TNF-α on follicular cell death in mice with experimental immune ovarian failure induced by ...

EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.

BCL9 and BCL9L drive bladder cancer progression by enhancing β‐catenin signaling, promoting proliferation, migration, invasion, and organoid growth. Genetic depletion of BCL9(L) suppresses malignant phenotypes, while pharmacological disruption of the β‐catenin/BCL9(L) complex with ZW4864 inhibits canonical Wnt signaling and tumor‐associated cellular ...

Maturation arrest of human oocytes at germinal vesicle stage
Maturation arrest of human oocytes may occur at various stages of the cell cycle. A total failure of human oocytes to complete meiosis is rarely observed during assisted conception cycles. We describe here a case of infertile couples for whom all oocytes

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes
Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

Cyclic nucleotide in oocyte In vitro maturation in Assisted Reproductive Technology
In vitro maturation (IVM) is a promising assisted reproductive technology (ART) for human infertility treatment. However, when cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) are removed from their follicular environment when manipulated in vitro, it can lead to a ...

Background Oocyte maturation arrest results in female infertility and the genetic etiology of this phenotype remains largely unknown. Previous studies have proven that cyclins play a significant role in the cell cycle both in meiosis and mitosis.
