The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the ...

In a study published in Cell Research, a research team has, for the first time, resolved the high-resolution in situ ...

Meanwhile, we revealed the novel molecular mechanisms controlling meiotic maturation by experimentally manipulating the specific phosphosites in oocytes. In conclusion, our data represent a valuable ...

Here, we isolated a substantial quantity of mouse oocytes at three pivotal time points during meiotic maturation (arrested GV stage, meiotic resumption GVBD stage, and ovulated MII oocyte; 10,000 ...

Researchers successfully induce primate oocytes in the lab Date: May 25, 2023 Source: Kyoto University Summary: The many types of cells in the human body are produced through the process of ...

A next step will be to investigate the neural and molecular mechanisms underlying the ‘catch up’ effect induced by 4-vinylanisole. 4-Vinylanisole acts as maturation-accelerating pheromone to ...

The mammalian oocyte maturation quality is critical for successful fertilization and following early embryo development any errors will lead to birth defects, which might also cause infertility. The ...

The mammalian oocyte maturation quality is critical for successful fertilization and following early embryo development, any errors will lead to birth defects. The oocytes undergo meiosis I and ...

Decoding how the human egg matures and how this process can go wrong could lead to ways of preventing genetic errors leading to infertility, birth defects or pregnancy loss.
