Communication between oocytes and granulosa cells is essential for oocyte formation, dormancy, reawakening, and maturation. Researchers have demonstrated that a protein complex called the exocyst ...

Injection of the human germline cells, engineered to stably express GFP, into human ovarian cortical biopsies leads to formation of follicles containing GFP-positive oocytes 1–2 weeks after ...

Communication between oocytes and granulosa cells is essential for oocyte formation, dormancy, reawakening, and maturation.

A live look inside oocytes. The researchers labeled the actin protein of the actomyosin cortex (left, green staining) and the myoplasm (right, blue staining) to visualize their movement after the ...

In 2011, a woolly mammoth was dug out in near pristine condition after it spent the last 28,000 years frozen solid in the ...

Nonetheless, Slater's conclusion that the poly(A) tails were elongated by polyadenylation in the cytoplasm of the oocytes after fertilization was still valid and intriguing and set further ...

Oocyte cryopreservation is a suitable fertility preservation option for women who are not partnered, have ethical objections to cryopreserving embryos or wish to have complete reproductive autonomy.

Her culturing technique allowed the embryo ovary to remain viable for up to 16 hours, and she stopped short of oocyte formation because this experiment was focused on cyst fragmentation. In the future ...

Communication (crosstalk) between oocytes and granulosa cells is crucial for oocyte formation, dormancy, reawakening, and maturation. Oocytes express proteins c-KIT and GDF9, which play a vital ...
