Generation and assessment of high-quality fat-tailed dunnart oocytes following superovulation in prepubertal animals
Jun Liu and others
Superovulation with production of mature MII oocytes can be induced by PMSG priming in a prepubertal marsupial species, the fat-tailed dunnart.
Research Article
Astaxanthin promotes in vitro maturation of mouse oocytes by regulating mitochondrial functions and protein homeostasis
Xinyi Yuan and others
Astaxanthin promotes mouse oocyte in vitro maturation and early embryonic development.
Review Article
Navigation of Nanos germ cell specification factor to germ granules –posttranscriptional regulation hubs – across species
Bellary Lakshmi and others
Nanos, the germ cell specification factor, is a conserved component of germ granules across species. Mutations in Nanos have been linked to infertility. Are these mutations in Nanos also involved in the remodelling of germ granules?
Research Article
3D-organization and spatial localization of chromatin and epigenetic marks linked to nucleolar activity in porcine oocytes
Merle Fenner and others
Utilizing 3D-immunolocalization and high-resolution microscopy, chromatin-specific epigenetic marks and proteins specific to nucleolar activity can be linked to oocyte maturation, predicting subsequent embryonic developmental competence.
Research Article
Endogenous regulation of behavior and reproductive physiology in a resident passerine songbird
Shirin Fatima and others
Seasonal timing of reproductive events requires the interaction of the circannual clock and environmental cues. Many avian species exhibit robust circannual rhythms in controlled environments. However, the molecular changes preceding changes in physiology and behavior are poorly understood. The ...
Research Article
Sorafenib inhibits ovarian inflammation and fibrosis in polycystic ovary syndrome by targeting the PDGFA/PDGFRα/NF-κB pathway in granulosa cells
Xitong Liu and others
Summary Sentence Sorafenib treatment inhibits inflammation and fibrosis in the ovaries of PCOS by regulating PDGFA/PDGFRα/NF-κB pathway in granulosa cells.
Research Article
Elongated shape and unusual eggshell microstructure enable first confirmed hatching of avian twins
Krzysztof Damaziak and others
Bird twins can hatch from a single double-yolked egg if it is sufficiently narrow and long, and has a modified shell microstructure.
Research Article
Ovarian SUMO-2/3 targets and their differential response to genotoxic stress induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene exposure in lean and obese female mice
Jaspreet K Rishi and others
Obesity may perturb ovarian homeostasis by modulating SUMOylation of ovarian proteins and DMBA exposure selectively affects protein SUMOylation.
Research Article
Follicular fluid extracellular vesicles support energy metabolism of bovine oocytes, improving blastocyst development and quality
Paulina Lipinska and others
Summary sentence Follicular fluid sEVs supplementation during IVM under metabolic stress conditions significantly affects COCs, with a positive effect on blastocyst quality, which provides novel insights into the role of EVs in oocyte and embryo development.
Letter
Vitrification preserves oocyte transcriptome in a 3D in vitro follicle development and oocyte maturation system
Jiyang Zhang and others
Vitrification is increasingly used to cryopreserve gametes and embryos in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Our prior research demonstrates that vitrification preserves the viability and functionality of follicles. However, its impact on oocyte remains unknown. The current study investigates ...
