Children conceived by assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have a moderate risk for a
number of adverse events and conditions. The question whether this additional risk is …

Cryopreservation of both gametes and embryos, both for storage and for the preservation of
their developmental capacity is a critical aspect of assisted reproductive technology. The …

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of melatonin (MT) supplementation on in
vitro maturation of vitrified mouse germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes. The fresh oocytes were …

Objective To examine the maturational competence, embryo development and expression of
genes involved in oocyte maturation and cumulus expansion (GDF9, BMP15, HAS2 …

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of vitrification on the dynamics of the
global transcriptome in bovine germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes and their in vitro-derived …

Cryopreservation impairs oocyte quality, which may be associated with abnormal gene
expression. Currently, alteration of mRNA levels in vitrified porcine oocytes has not been …

Background The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of vitrification and in vitro
maturation on the mitochondrial distribution and ATP content of oocytes. Methods The …

This review presents the latest advances in and main obstacles to the application of in vitro
embryo production (IVEP) systems in small ruminants. This biotechnology is an extremely …

Oocyte aging severely decreases the quality of oocytes, which hampers fertilization and
subsequent embryo development. In the present study, age-dependent molecular changes …

Simple Summary In recent years, due to industry and market preferences, local animal
breeds have been exposed to genetic erosion and extinction risk. Effective strategies for …
