Postovulatory aging is known to compromise the oocyte quality as well as subsequent
embryo development in many different animal models, and becomes one of the most …

Bisphenol A (BPA) has been reported to adversely affect the mammalian reproductive
system in both sexes. However, the underlying mechanisms regarding how BPA disrupts the …

After ovulation, mammalian oocytes will undergo a time-dependent process of aging if they
are not fertilized. This postovulatory aging (POA) seriously affects the oocyte quality and …

Oxidative stress-induced granulosa cell (GCs) injury is believed to be a common trigger for
follicular atresia. Emerging evidence indicates that excessive autophagy occurs in …

As women delay childbearing because of demographic and socioeconomic trends,
reproductive aging and ensuing ovarian dysfunction become increasingly more prevalent …

Under endoplasmic reticulum (ER)‐stress conditions, the unfolded protein response (UPR)
generates a defense mechanism in mammalian cells. The regulation of UPR signaling is …

Objective To summarize the role of melatonin and circadian rhythms in determining optimal

In the field of assisted reproductive technology, female fertility preservation, particularly
ovarian tissue cryopreservation in adolescent cancer patients, has attracted much attention …

Increases in delayed childbearing worldwide have elicited the need for a better
understanding of the biological underpinnings and implications of age-related infertility. In …

The inferior oocytes (IOs), which are not suitable for embryo development, occupy roughly
one-third or more of the collected immature bovine oocytes. The IOs are usually discarded …
