1. ABSTRACT Optical Coherence Topography (OCT) is an emerging biomedical imaging
technology that offers non-invasive real-time, high-resolution imaging of highly scattering …

Embryogenesis is a highly complex and dynamic process, and its visualization is crucial for
understanding basic physiological processes during development and for identifying and …

Developmental biologists have always relied on imaging to shed light on dynamic cellular
events. However, processes such as mammalian fertilization and embryogenesis are …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a promising research tool for brain imaging and
developmental biology. Serving as a three-dimensional optical biopsy technique, OCT …

The formation of functional eggs (oocyte) in ovarian follicles is arguably one of the most
important events in early mammalian development since the oocytes provide the bulk …

The oviduct/fallopian tube is a tube-like structure that extends from the uterus to the ovary. It
is an essential reproductive organ that provides an environment for internal fertilization and …

Alfred Jost's work in the 1940s laid the foundation of the current paradigm of sexual
differentiation of reproductive tracts, which contends that testicular hormones drive the male …

In brief In vivo imaging of gametes and embryos in the oviduct enables new studies of the
native processes that lead to fertilization and pregnancy. This review article discusses recent …

Ovulation is a cyclical biological rupture event fundamental to fertilisation and endocrine
function. During this process, the somatic support cells that surround the germ cell undergo …

Pregnancy is a complex physiological process tightly controlled by the interplay among
hormones, morphogens, transcription factors, and signaling pathways. Although recent …
