Oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) is an assisted reproductive technology designed to obtain
mature oocytes following culture of immature cumulus–oocyte complexes collected from …

In several mammalian species, oocytes from small antral follicles after in vitro maturation
(IVM) are successfully used for procreation. Humans are the exception, mainly because of …

Context The oocyte-secreted factors growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone
morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) play essential roles in follicle development and oocyte …

Simple Summary GDF9 and BMPR1B are two important reproduction genes. In this study,
the whole coding region of GDF9 was sequenced, of which the mutations were detected in …

STUDY QUESTION Does in vitro maturation (IVM) result in non-inferior cumulative live birth
rates compared to those after standard in vitro fertilization (IVF) in infertile women with …

Background The suggested effects of the oocyte secreted GDF9 and BMP15 growth factors
on oocyte maturation are currently based on recombinant proteins, and little is known about …

Reproductive dysfunction associated with obesity is increasing among women of
childbearing age. Emerging evidence indicates that maternal obesity impairs embryo …

Purpose In vitro maturation (IVM) is a technology that generates mature oocytes following
culture of immature cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC) in vitro. IVM is characterized by …

The leading indicator for successful outcomes in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is the quality of
gametes in oocytes and sperm. Thus, advanced research aims to highlight the parameter in …

Ovarian immature teratomas (OITs) are malignant tumors originating from the ovarian germ
cells that mainly occur during the first 30 y of a female's life. Early age of onset strongly …
