Human oocytes can last for up to 50 years—and a newly discovered metabolic pathway is key to this longevity.

Oocyte quality is the key limiting factor of female fertility. However, compared with other species, the research and understanding of human oocyte quality and human reproductive health is limited ...

Reliable assessments of oocyte developmental potential are lacking, making it difficult to select the best quality embryos for transfer after in vitrofertilization. Here, the authors show that a ...

Scientists have isolated and purified rare, human germline stem cells that can be propagated over long periods of time in vitro and differentiate into follicles containing oocytes when ...

Jin says. See the article: DLGAP5 mutations disrupt normal chromosome segregation and spindle formation of human oocyte meiosis and lead to female infertility ...

Dioseve’s mission to grow human oocytes, or eggs, from other tissue is based on a scientific technique called induced pluripotent cells stem (iPS) cells ...

Scientists untangle a long-standing mystery of female reproductive biology Human eggs remain healthy for decades while the rest of our body ages. Now scientists finally understand how.

His team is also initiating the research in human oocytes, which live much longer than mice oocytes.

Böke’s lab is currently collaborating with fertility clinics to look at protein aggregates in human oocytes. She suspects that elements related to oocyte growth and quality control, such as ...

New research presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) ...

A group led by pioneering fertility researcher Shoukrat Mitalipov intends to make artificial human embryos in a test tube.

Human egg cells, called oocytes, have to last a long time. They are created before birth, and if they are healthy, they stay viable for many years before they might be fertilized. New research has ...
