Cumulus cell DNA fragmentation as non-invasive biomarker of equine oocyte quality in in vitro embryo production.
CONTEXT The efficiency of in vitro embryo production in animal species is constrained by the absence of practical, non-invasive biomarkers to assess oocyte quality. Cumulus cell DNA fragmentation index (CC-DFI) has been proposed as a biomarker in humans, but data in animals remain limited. AIMS This study investigate...
