Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a commonly used treatment for infertile couples.
However, the suboptimal success rate of ART highlights the urgent need for optimization …

The success rate in vitro fertilization is significantly linked to the quality of the oocytes. The
oocyte's membrane is encapsulated by a shell of gelatinous extracellular matrix, called zona …

The noninvasive and label‐free electrical characterization of single cells is increasingly
gaining interest over the last years. Besides cancer cells, oocytes are in the focus of those …

Computational fluid dynamics simulations are used to obtain a radially symmetrical flow
profile at an aperture of a microfluidic channel by manually arranging flow‐directing …

This paper reports a microfluidic aspiration-assisted electrical impedance spectroscopy
system (MAEIS) with the aim of characterizing oocyte hardening for in-vitro fertilization (IVF) …

Ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are involved in many pathophysiological processes and
represent a relevant target for drug discovery. In this work, we developed a novel setup …
