Oocyte/embryo selection methodologies are either invasive or noninvasive and can be
applied at various stages of development from the oocyte to cleaved embryos and up to the …

ABSTRACT Intrafollicular Transfer of Immature Oocytes (IFIOT) has emerged as an
alternative to the currently used systems for bovine embryo production. This technique …

In vitro production of embryos (IVP) is a valuable technology to produce embryos of high
genetic value. Despite advances in IVP, the efficiency of culture systems remains low. One …

In brief Optical coherence microscopy is a label-free and non-invasive imaging technique
capable of 3D subcellular structure visualization. Here we show that this method allows for …

Simple Summary Supplementation of the culture media for the in vitro production of bovine
embryos with fetal bovine serum (FBS) is associated with inconsistent outcomes. This study …

Simple Summary Ovum pick up (OPU) methods play a significant role in oocyte collection
worldwide and are the most efficient means of enhancing genetic advancement through …

Abstract Background Ovarian follicular fluids (FFs) contain several kinds of regulatory factors
that maintain a suitable microenvironment for oocyte development. Extracellular vesicles …

Simple Summary Oxidatively stressed sperm can fertilise oocytes and, hence, transfer its
damaged genome to a progeny. Sperm cannot repair its own genome, therefore the oocyte's …

Simple Summary Heat stress in bovine females from hot tropical regions is one of the main
factors that negatively affects the success of ovum pick-up and in vitro fertilization programs …

Nuclear maturation is an essential process in which oocytes acquire the competence to
develop further. However, the time required for nuclear maturation during IVM varies among …
