Background: IN VITRO MATURATION (IVM) of oocytes is a promising technique to reduce
the costs and avert the side-effects of gonadotropin stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) …

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of CUMULUS CELLS on
maturation, fertilization and subsequent development of mouse germinal vesicle oocytes …

Background To increase the results of infertility treatment, many efforts have been made to
improve the treatment methods. As assisted reproductive technology is mainly using cell …

In-vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes is a promising technique to reduce the costs and avert
the side-effects of gonadotrophin stimulation for in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The pregnancy …

Purpose: In this study we investigated the need of the support from cumulus cells for
germinal-vesicle (GV) oocytes collected from stimulated ovaries to complete their maturation …

OBJECTIVE: To study the mechanisms by which cumulus cells (CCs) promote oocyte
maturation by observing the effect of removing the cumulus oophorus on nuclear and …

Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of PROGESTERONE
on the developmental competence of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) and cumulus …

This study attempted to develop a 'less meiotically competent'murine model for oocyte in
vitro maturation (IVM), which could more readily be extrapolated to human clinical assisted …

We investigated the effect mouse cumulus cells (mCCs) on the in vitro maturation (IVM) and
developmental potential of bovine denuded germinal vesicle oocytes (DOs). Cumulus …

Objective: To evaluate whether germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes from stimulated cycles can be
a source of embryos. Design: In vitro model study. Setting: Specialized laboratory of …
