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 ...

In a new study published in the journal Nature, researchers in Japan report that activating just eight genes for producing gene-controlling proteins is enough to convert mouse stem cells directly into ...

Figure 1: A colored scanning electron micrograph of ovary tissue, showing a developing oocyte (pink). RIKEN researchers have found that H2A.Z is essential for healthy ...

Perimenopause and ovarian ageing, highlighting the importance of future interventions focused on early detection, ...

Age related decline in female fertility remains one of the most urgent challenges facing reproductive medicine today. The decline affects both the number and the quality of oocytes, which reduces chan ...

The development of artificial grafts that may recapitulate the tissue microarchitecture is one of the most ambitious and complex approaches to understanding molecular mechanisms in an in vitro ...

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 ...
