Cryopreservation Does Not Affect the Clinical Pregnancy Rate of Blastocysts Derived from Vitrified Oocytes

Scientific Reports, 2022
Vitrified, or “frozen”, donor eggs can either be fertilized and cultured for fresh transfer (group 1), or fertilized and cryopreserved for transfer in a “frozen embryo transfer” cycle (group 2).

Sperm Metabolism

Molecular Reproduction and Development
ABSTRACTBioenergetics plays a crucial role in sperm functions, including motility, capacitation‐related protein modifications, oocyte recognition and interaction, all of which are essential for fertilization. Sperm metabolism is recognized as flexible, responding to environmental cues and energetic demands during ejaculation, the journey along the ...
