Reprod Med Biol
. 2025 Mar;
24(1):e12640.
PMID: 40078334
Background: In vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) is not a novel concept; however, its wide-scale practice has been limited because of the lower clinical outcomes compared to conventional assisted reproductive technologies....

PMID: 37855411
In Brief: Partially denuded mouse cumulus-oocyte complexes restore likely functional transzonal projections in culture, under meiotic inhibition, with no detectable impact on oocyte competence. This proof-of-concept study constitutes positive premises...
