In vitro production (IVP) of embryos and associated technologies in cattle have shown
significant progress in recent years, in part driven by a better understanding of the full …

BACKGROUND Folliculogenesis occurs in the highly dynamic environment of the ovary.
Follicle cyclic recruitment, neo-angiogenesis, spatial displacement, follicle atresia and …

An equilibrium needs to be established by the cellular and acellular components of the
ovarian follicle if developmental competence is to be acquired by the oocyte. Both cumulus …

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is currently one of the most effective methods of infertility treatment.
An alternative to commonly used ovarian hyperstimulation can become extracorporeal …

The ovary is the first organ to age in humans with functional decline evident already in
women in their early 30s. Reproductive aging is characterized by a decrease in oocyte …

Context: Human follicular fluid is a combination of proteins, metabolites, and ionic
compounds that is indicative of the general state of follicular metabolism and is associated …

Proper cell communication within the ovarian follicle is critical for the growth and maturation
of a healthy oocyte that can be fertilized and develop into an embryo. Cell communication …

Reproductive aging is a major cause of fertility decline, attributed to decreased oocyte
quantity and developmental potential. A possible cause is aging of the surrounding follicular …
