Oocyte quality is a key factor influencing IVF success. The oocyte and surrounding cumulus
cells, known collectively as the cumulus oocyte complex (COC), communicate bi …

A major challenge in ART is to select high-quality oocytes and embryos. The metabolism of
oocytes and embryos has long been linked to their viability, suggesting the potential utility of …

STUDY QUESTION Can label-free, non-invasive optical imaging by hyperspectral
autofluorescence microscopy discern between euploid and aneuploid cells within the inner …

STUDY QUESTION Can non-invasive metabolic imaging via fluorescence lifetime imaging
microscopy (FLIM) detect variations in metabolic profiles between discarded human …

Oocyte developmental potential is intimately linked to metabolism. Existing approaches to
measure metabolism in the cumulus oocyte complex (COC) do not provide information on …

Simple Summary With conventional breeding practices, even the best dairy/beef cows will
likely produce no more than half-a-dozen calves in their lifetimes; a crime, would you not …

As one of the most common hyperspectral microscopy (HSM) techniques, line-scanning
HSM is currently utilized in many fields. However, its scanning efficiency is still considered to …

Hyperspectral and multispectral imaging of cell and tissue autofluorescence employs
fluorescence imaging, without exogenous fluorophores, across multiple excitation/emission …

Purpose Vitrification permits long-term banking of oocytes and embryos. It is a technically
challenging procedure requiring direct handling and movement of cells between potentially …

STUDY QUESTION Does fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)-based metabolic
imaging assessment of human blastocysts prior to frozen transfer correlate with pregnancy …
