Somatic cell nuclear transfer or cytoplasm microinjection have been used to generate
genome-edited farm animals; however, these methods have several drawbacks that reduce …

The intriguing capability of branched glycoprotein filaments to change their hierarchical
organization, mediated by external biophysical stimuli, continues to expand understanding …

The worldwide production of in vitro-produced embryos in livestock species continues to
grow. The current gold standard for selecting quality oocytes and embryos is morphologic …

Context In pigs, in vitro fertilisation (IVF) is associated with high polyspermy rates, and for
this reason, in vitro embryo production (IVP) is still an inefficient biotechnology. Coculture …

The egg coat including mammalian zona pellucida (ZP) and the avian equivalent, ie, inner-
perivitelline layer (IPVL), is a specialized extracellular matrix being composed of the ZP …

In mammals, oocytes, fertilized eggs and pre-implantation embryos are surrounded by an
acellular zona pellucida (zona pellucida–ZP). This structure has a fibro-spongy character but …

Cryopreservation has increased the possibilities in animal genetic breeding and
reproduction technologies. In recent years, vitrification has emerged as a promising …

The mammalian zona pellucida (ZP) is an extracellular matrix that surrounds immature and
mature oocytes and early embryos until the stage of a blastocyst and its implantation. This …

Impaired hatching of the embryo from the zona pellucida (ZP), the specialized protective
shell, immediately before implantation is one of the factors of infertility. Hatching impairment …

Одной из причин бесплодия является нарушение хетчинга—процесса вылупления
