One characteristic of oocyte development and physiology that has been a mystery for 60 years is the highly present cytoplasmic lattices within the cytoplasm of mammalian oocytes. These were initially ...
Researchers have found that a carefully orchestrated act of X-chromosome 'yoyo' predicts the successful and efficient development of mammalian egg cells. The findings could pave the way for generating ...

Declining female fertility is a health issue that has received broad global attention. Oocyte quality is the key limiting factor of female fertility, and factors affecting oocyte quality involve the ...
Researchers have developed an innovative technique to rejuvenate aged oocytes, or immature egg cells, to boost their quality, paving the way for improved outcomes for in-vitro fertilization. This ...
