A new study has outlined how mature egg cells can be cultured from "denuded" oocytes that would usually fail to mature.

The researchers suggest that this new method could also benefit large animals like cattle and pigs, where typical egg ...

Convincing evidence describes helpful data about protein turnover and identifies long-lived macromolecules in oocytes and somatic cells during mouse ovarian aging. This work will be of interest to ...

Patient and cycle characteristics were also similar across groups and there were no differences in the number of oocytes and 2PN zygotes, or in the maturation, fertilization, cleavage, and ...

Francesca Duncan “What’s wild here is that oocytes can just let the misfolded proteins pile up and deal with them at a specific point in maturation,” Johnson says. “And that, to me, is both exciting ...
