It has also been suggested that reprogramming by oocytes, and hence cloning efficiency ... birth rates for mice derived from female cumulus cells (a differentiated, somatic cell type) as compared ...

For ICSI participants, cumulus cells stripped from oocyte will be collected for cumulus gene expression analyses regarding oocyte competence. Microdrops of oocyte culture media before the time of ICSI ...

This work will be of interest to general cell biologists and developmental biologists ... The oviductal wall was punctured using a 26G needle to collect cumulus-oocyte complexes in 20 μL potassium ...

Sterilized needles were used to release cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs). Next, COCs were pipetted in and out several times with a mouth pipette under dissection microscope to remove the cumulus cells ...

an oocyte with one or multiple follicular cavities and multiple layers of granular cells as well as cumulus GC layer. Nuclei was visible in oocyte; cystic follicle, a big cavity with a thin layer of ...

Communication between oocytes and granulosa cells is essential for oocyte formation, dormancy, reawakening, and maturation. Researchers have demonstrated that a protein complex called the exocyst ...

Oocytes grow within follicles, which consist of an oocyte and the surrounding granulosa cells. Communication (crosstalk) between oocytes and granulosa cells is crucial for oocyte formation ...

The Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio, a key valuation measure, is calculated by dividing the stock's most recent closing price by the sum of the diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ...

A recent study from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India has revealed new details about how our cells clean up and recycle waste. This process, known as autophagy, is like a self ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over three years since we heard anything official about the game. From what we ...
