A study found that exposure to air pollution negatively affects embryo development during IVF, with organic carbon having the ...

For example, CD151 may support primary tumour growth as well as metastasis and angiogenesis, whereas tetraspanins CD9 and CD81 are required for oocyte fertilization. In addition, several ...

Four to six cumulus–oocyte complexes were placed in each 200 μL drop of HTF medium for insemination. A sperm suspension cultured in conditioned medium was added to the insemination drops (Figure 1A).

Few researchers can claim to be a pioneer in their field quite like Teresa K. Woodruff, PhD. While serving as the basic ...

This includes contributions on dormant and activated oocytes and follicle compartments, oocyte maturation and egg activation, fertilization events and several insights into preimplantation embryonic ...
