Oocyte maturation and follicular development are fundamental processes that underpin female fertility. These processes involve the transformation of primordial follicles into a cohort of mature, ...

Researchers have found that a carefully orchestrated act of X-chromosome 'yoyo' predicts the successful and efficient development of mammalian egg cells. The findings could pave the way for generating ...

The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...

Lower ovarian reserve was associated with accelerated pace of aging and higher risk scores for metabolic disease. Learn more ...

Researchers have developed an innovative technique to rejuvenate aged oocytes, or immature egg cells, to boost their quality, paving the way for improved outcomes for in-vitro fertilization. This ...

Human oocytes can last for up to 50 years—and a newly discovered metabolic pathway is key to this longevity. By Lauren J. Young Published Jul 22, 2022 2:45 PM EDT Get the Popular Science daily ...

A new review suggests CoQ10 could rejuvenate aging oocytes and enhance embryo quality, offering hope for women facing age-related fertility challenges while spotlighting the need for rigorous clinical ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona have identified a potential new diagnostic marker that predicts the successful and efficient development of mammalian egg cells. The ...
