So far, the characteristics of a good quality egg have been elusive, similar to the nature of
the physiological, cellular, and molecular cues leading to its production both in vivo and in …

The oviductal fluid is the first environment experienced by mammalian embryos at the very
beginning of life. However, it has long been believed that the oviductal environment was not …

maternal RNAs and proteins stored in the oocyte are gradually degraded and transcription …

The development of a complex technology such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) requires years of
experimentation, sometimes comparing several species to learn how to create the right in …

Early stages of mammalian embryonic development are now known to be very sensitive to
their microenvironment, with long term effects on fetal, postnatal, and adult health, thus …
