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

Frontiers 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 ...

Assembly of the Inner Perivitelline Layer, a Homo log of the Mammalian Zona Pellucida: An Immunohistochemical and Ultrastructural Study [PDF]

, 2012
The avian inner perivitelline layer (IPVL), a homologous structure to the mammalian zona pellucida, is deposited between the granulosa cells and the oocyte cell membrane during folliculogenesis. The glycoprotein meshwork of the IPVL forms a 3-dimensional

Oocyte development: it's all about quality

Reproductive BioMedicine Online
Mammalian fertility depends on the production of an oocyte capable of fertilization and supporting early embryo development. This requires both cytoplasmic and nuclear, i.e. chromosomal, competence, processes that were initiated decades prior to ovulation.

Oocyte quality following in vitro follicle development

Biology of Reproduction, 2021
Abstract In vitro follicle development (IVFD) is an adequate model to obtain basic knowledge of folliculogenesis and provides a tool for ovarian toxicity screening. IVFD yielding competent oocytes may also offer an option for fertility and species preservation.

Three‐Dimensional Ovary Model to Improve and Study Murine Follicle Growth

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
To develop new methods for fertility preservation in women, novel culture systems for small follicles need to be established. In this work, a poly(ethylene glycol) based scaffold, with appropriate mechanical and bioactive features to support mouse follicle and ovary cell growth is developed, and the formed cell‐follicle interactions are visualized ...

The role of declining ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) function in oocyte aging

Cell Death Discovery
Despite the advances in the understanding of reproductive physiology, the mechanisms underlying ovarian aging are still not deciphered. Recent research found an association between impaired ATM-mediated DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair mechanisms and

Apoptosis maintains oocyte quality in aging Caenorhabditis elegans females. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2008
In women, oocytes arrest development at the end of prophase of meiosis I and remain quiescent for years. Over time, the quality and quantity of these oocytes decreases, resulting in fewer pregnancies and an increased occurrence of birth defects.

Isolation and in vitro Culture of Mouse Oocytes

Bio-Protocol, 2021
Females are endowed at birth with a fixed reserve of oocytes, which declines both in quantity and quality with advancing age. Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating oocyte quality is crucial for improving the chances of pregnancy success in ...

Errors in chromosome segregation during oogenesis and early embryogenesis [PDF]

, 2010
Errors in chromosome segregation occurring during human oogenesis and early embryogenesis are very common. Meiotic chromosome development during oogenesis is subdivided into three distinct phases.

Aristolochic acid I exposure decreases oocyte quality

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Oocyte quality is a determinant of a successful pregnancy. The final step of oocyte development is oocyte maturation, which is susceptible to environmental exposures. Aristolochic acids (AAs), widely existing in Aristolochia and Asarum plants that have been used in traditional medicine, can result in a smaller ovary and fewer superovulated oocytes ...
