In assisted reproductive technology (ART), the aim of sperm cells' preparation is to select
competent spermatozoa with the highest fertilization potential and in this context, the …

Almost 50% of the infertility cases are due to male factors. Assisted reproductive
technologies (ARTs) allow to overcome the incapacity of these patients' spermatozoa to …

Extracellular vesicles are lipoproteinaceous membrane-enclosed nanometer-sized
structures produced by cells and are thought to mediate cellular communications. Loaded …

The oviduct is the anatomical part of the female reproductive tract where the early
reproductive events take place, from gamete transport, fertilization and early embryo …

In recent decades, humans have faced greater challenges in reproduction. Assisted
reproductive technology is the most prominent approach for addressing this problem …

In brief In vivo imaging of gametes and embryos in the oviduct enables new studies of the
native processes that lead to fertilization and pregnancy. This review article discusses recent …

Background The mammalian oviduct is a complex, fibromuscular organ known for its role in
orchestrating a series of timely and dynamic changes to suitably support early …

Embryo culture conditions are crucial as they can affect embryo quality and even offspring.
Oviductal extracellular vesicles (EVs) long been considered a major factor influencing …

The contribution of sperm to embryogenesis is gaining attention with up to 50% of infertility
cases being attributed to a paternal factor. The traditional methods used in assisted …

The oviduct plays important roles in reproductive events: sperm reservoir formation, final
gamete maturation, fertilization and early embryo development. It is well known that the …
