Morphometric Parameters of Oocyte-Cumulus Complexes as Predictive Factors for In Vitro Oocyte Maturation

In vitro maturation for infertility in polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome: a systematic review of treatment protocols and outcomes.

In vitro maturation (IVM) involves the retrieval of immature oocytes from unstimulated or minimally primed antral follicles, with maturation completed in culture. Women with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), the condition previously known as polycystic ovary syndrome, are the prototypical candidates for...

The Effect of the Oocyte Microenvironment on Its Maturation

It is demonstrated how fundamental knowledge of the oocyte microenvironment can be harnessed to design cellular technologies for clinical applications and enhances the efficacy of assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

Age-specific optimization of ovarian superstimulation, oocyte maturation, and somatic cell nuclear transfer in juvenile and adult goats.

Juvenile in vitro embryo transfer can shorten generation intervals, but its application in goats is constrained by the quantity-quality trade-off in oocytes from prepubertal donors. We established an age-specific workflow for Yudong black goats by separately optimizing ovarian superstimulation in juvenile and adult don...

Associations of anti-Müllerian hormone with primordial follicle density and in vitro maturation outcomes in girls with transfusion-dependent thalassemia undergoing fertility preservation.

The impact of ovarian endometrioma on the in vitro fertilization outcomes

The incidence of ovarian endometrioma (OMA) among patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs ranges from 10.5 to 21.8%. Despite data on the possible gonadotoxic effect of OMA, their impact on the outcomes of ART programs remains a subject of debate. In this regard, the current study’s key objec...

Efficacy of Human Amniotic Membrane Stem Cell-Conditioned Medium on Improving In Vitro Maturation Efficiency of Mouse Oocytes

Highlights What are the main findings? Supplementation of IVM medium with 20% hAMSC-CM significantly increased meiotic maturation rates of mouse oocytes (up to 89.4%) across all PMSG priming regimens (0, 5, 10 IU). 20% hAMSC-CM combined with 5–10 IU PMSG priming markedly enhanced cleavage and blastocyst formation rates...
