Only a fraction of oocytes present in the ovaries at birth are ever ovulated during the lifetime
of a female mammal. In vitro maturation (IVM) offers the possibility to exploit what is a largely …

This review uses nutritional markers of normal and impaired development to address the
question; what makes a viable mammalian preimplantation embryo? Resolution of this …

We have previously shown that, while the intrinsic quality of the oocyte is the main factor
affecting blastocyst yield during bovine embryo development in vitro, the main factor …

To evaluate the effect of conditioned media (CM) and Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) derived
from bovine oviduct epithelial cell (BOEC) lines on the developmental capacity of bovine …

Many factors affect development of mammalian preimplantation embryos in vitro. It is well
known that in vitro development of bovine embryos is highly affected by culture condition …

The long-term developmental and behavioral consequences of mammalian embryo culture
are unknown. By altering the culture medium with the addition of FCS, we wanted to …

Contents In general, the majority of immature bovine oocytes fail to develop to the blastocyst
stage following maturation, fertilization and culture in vitro. The evidence suggests that while …

A variety of evolutionary processes has led to the development of different organs to ensure
that internal fertilization occur successfully. Fallopian tubes are a particularly interesting …

Considerable advances in media development for the culture of preimplantation mammalian
embryos have been made since mouse embryos were first cultured and successfully …

The preimplantation mammalian embryo from different species appears sensitive to the
environment in which it develops, either in vitro or in vivo, for example, in response to culture …
