Recent advances in cellular biology have underscored the central role of the actin cytoskeleton in the regulation of oocyte maturation and fertilisation. Actin filament rearrangements not only ...

Human development starts from the fertilization of a fully matured oocyte. Oocyte maturation, fertilization, and early embryo development before zygotic activation is characterized by the absence of ...

Using a newly developed method, researchers have been able to shed light on the complexity of genome reorganization occurring during the first hours after fertilization in the single-cell mammalian ...

Experts in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) from UC San Francisco have discovered a pattern of protein secretion during egg maturation that they say has the possibility of leading to a new, non-invasive ...

Researchers have uncovered a developmental switch needed to activate global transcriptional silencing, a key step needed for the fertilization of eggs. Zfp36L2 acts as a switch toward the end of ...

Experts in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) from UC San Francisco have discovered a pattern of protein secretion during egg maturation that they say has the possibility of leading to a new, non-invasive ...

Sea urchin gametes predominate in molecular studies of fertilization, yet relatively little is known of the subcellular aspects of sperm entry in this group. Accordingly, it seemed desirable to make a ...

Couples infected with the COVID-19 virus while receiving assisted reproductive technology treatment had lower quality embryo and blastocyst rates when compared to non-infected couples, a retrospective ...

In vitro fertilization (IVF) with embryo cryopreservation a suitable fertility preservation option for women who are partnered or willing to use donor sperm. There are several reasons that women ...

Models containing a national database of demographic and reproductive data predict the probability of a live birth success after in vitro fertilization (IVF). Using data containing demographic and ...
