Female reproductive potential is dictated by the size of the primordial follicle pool and the
correct regulation of oocyte maturation and activation—events essential for production of …

Stored maternal factors in oocytes regulate oocyte differentiation into embryos during early
embryonic development. Before zygotic gene activation (ZGA), these early embryos are …

An analysis of gene expression variability can provide an insightful window into how
regulatory control is distributed across the transcriptome. In a single cell analysis, the inter …

Mammalian ovarian primordial follicle activation and regulation is considered as one of the
most important stages of folliculogenesis and as such requires exquisite control. Selection of …

Objective Previously, we identified that transketolase (Tkt), an important enzyme in the
pentose phosphate pathway, is highly expressed at 2 hours of spontaneous maturation in …

Sucrose is a vital ingredient in numerous food items consumed regularly. However,
exposure to excessive sucrose for a prolonged period can promote health issues. The …

Previously, we have shown that Bcl2l10 is highly expressed in metaphase II (MII)-stage
oocytes. The objective of this study was to characterize Bcl2l10 expression in ovaries and to …

The plerocercoid larva of Spirometra mansoni can cause a parasitic zoonosis—sparganosis.
Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) plays a very important role in the life activities of parasites …

Previously, we found high levels of skin-embryo-brain-oocyte homeobox (Sebox) gene
expression in germinal vesicle (GV)-stage oocytes. The objective of the present study was to …

A small proportion of infertile women experience repeated oocyte maturation abnormalities
(OMAS). OMAS include degenerated and dysmorphic oocytes, empty follicle syndrome …
