Isolation of Extracellular Vesicles from Human Follicular Fluid: Size-Exclusion...

Follicular fluid (FF) is the microenvironment where a growing oocyte develops. Intrafollicular communication ensures oocyte competence and is carried out through paracrine signaling, the exchange of molecules via gap junctions, and the trafficking of extracellular vesicles (EVs). The study of FF-derived EVs is important for both translational and fundamental research in the female reproductive field. This study...

New Insights on Sperm Function in Male Infertility of Unknown Origin: A Multimo...

The global trend of rising (male) infertility is concerning, and the unidentifiable causes in half of the cases, the so-called unknown origin male infertility (UOMI), demands a better understanding and assessment of both external/internal factors and mechanisms potentially involved. In this work, it was our aim to obtain new insight on UOMI, specifically on idiopathic (ID) and Unexplained male infertility (UMI)...

Simultaneous analysis of cytoskeletal patterns and chromosome positioning in hu...

To sequentially and reliably apply both tubulin immunocytochemistry (ICC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to human fertilization failures, thus providing a tool for a multiple analysis of arrest.Design; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6T6K-4F015R3-Y/1/452eda15f64fea3f4d2197c60885d819
