Recent advances in cellular biology have underscored the central role of the actin cytoskeleton in the regulation of oocyte maturation and fertilisation. Actin filament rearrangements not only ...

An international team of researchers has discovered a fundamental protein in human fertilization, called MAIA, which could lead to an improved understanding of infertility. For fertilization to be ...

A new review suggests CoQ10 could rejuvenate aging oocytes and enhance embryo quality, offering hope for women facing age-related fertility challenges while spotlighting the need for rigorous clinical ...

Models containing a national database of demographic and reproductive data predict the probability of a live birth success after in vitro fertilization (IVF). Using data containing demographic and ...

In the first hours after fertilization, maternal factors residing in the oocyte cytoplasm dictate early development. But soon, the zygote’s genes start to take over. This maternal-to-zygotic ...
