Age-associated telomere shortening in mouse oocytes

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2013
BackgroundOocytes may undergo two types of aging. The first is induced by exposure to an aged ovarian microenvironment before being ovulated, known as ‘reproductive or maternal aging’, and the second by either a prolonged stay in the oviduct before ...

Age, Race, and Ethnicity of Maternal Grandparents in Autism Spectrum Disorder, a California Multigenerational Study

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigated associations between maternal grandparents' age and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in grandchildren, exploring differences by race/ethnicity. In a multigenerational California birth cohort study including 1,743,998 and 1,630,722 mother–child pairs (with 27,975 and 25,816 ASD cases, respectively), we examined ASD risk by ...

Expression of an atrial G-protein-activated potassium channel in Xenopus oocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Injection of rat atrial RNA into Xenopus oocytes resulted in the expression of a guanine nucleotide binding (G) protein-activated K+ channel. Current through the channel could be activated by acetylcholine or, if RNA encoding a neuronal 5HT1A receptor ...

Proposal for a classification of oocytes and follicles in the mouse ovary.

open access: yesJournal of Reproduction and Fertility, 1968
The need to develop a common terminology to describe the components of the ovary has been felt for some time (Gatz, 1955; Wischnitzer, 1966). A standard nomenclature would greatly facilitate the comparison of results relating to the development of the ...

PLK4: Master Regulator of Centriole Duplication and Its Therapeutic Potential

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Centrosomes catalyze the assembly of a microtubule‐based bipolar spindle, essential for the precise chromosome segregation during cell division. At the center of this process lies Polo‐Like Kinase 4 (PLK4), the master regulator that controls the duplication of the centriolar core to ensure the correct balance of two centrosomes per dividing ...

EVALUATION OF TWO in vitro MATURATION MEDIUM FOR EMBRYO PRODUCTION IN SHEEP

open access: yesTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2008
The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of HECM-9 and TCM-199 as maturation media on maturation (MR), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo development (ED) rate of oocytes from hair sheep collected from slaughter house ovaries.

Identification and characterization of two novel classes of small RNAs in the mouse germline: retrotransposon-derived siRNAs in oocytes and germline small RNAs in testes.

open access: yesGenes & Development, 2006
Small RNAs ranging in size between 18 and 30 nucleotides (nt) are found in many organisms including yeasts, plants, and animals. Small RNAs are involved in the regulation of gene expression through translational repression, mRNA degradation, and ...
