Invasive and noninvasive methods are commonly used to select developmentally competent
oocytes that can improve the take‐home baby rates in assisted reproductive technology …

This study was performed to investigate the effect of melatonin on bovine oocyte maturation
and subsequent embryonic development in vitro. The endogenous melatonin concentration …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are prevalently transcribed in the genome, are
involved in a variety of biological functions, yet little is known about their abundance in …

Cumulus cells (CC s) have an important role during oocyte growth, competence acquisition,
maturation, ovulation and fertilization. In an attempt to isolate potential biomarkers for bovine …

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragments, detected in blood and in other biological fluids, are
released from apoptotic and/or necrotic cells. CfDNA is currently used as biomarker for the …

This study aimed to quantify the expression of candidate genes in cumulus cells (CCs) from
cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) with high and low potential for in vitro development up to …

The maturation of the oocyte is influenced by cumulus cells (CCs) and associated with
pregnancy rate, whereas the influencing factors have not been completely elucidated in the …

Background To explore the methylation profiles in cumulus cells (CCs) of women
undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection–in vitro fertilization (ICSI–IVF) and establish a …
