Sibling oocytes cultured in a time-lapse versus benchtop incubator: how time-lapse incubators improve blastocyst development and euploid rate
Zygote. 2023 May 25:1-8. doi: 10.1017/S0967199423000242. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim was to study whether a limited exposure of embryos outside the incubator has an effect on embryo development, blastocyst quality and euploid outcomes. This retrospective study was performed at ART Fertility Clinics, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) between March 2018 and April 2020 and included 796 mature sibling oocytes that were split randomly between two incubators after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): an EmbryoScope™ (ES) incubator and a benchtop incubator, G185 K-SYSTEMS (KS). The fertilization, cleavage, emb...

The mechanisms that control the preantral to early antral follicle transition and the strategies to have efficient culture systems to promote their growth < em > in vitro < /em >
Zygote. 2023 May 24:1-11. doi: 10.1017/S0967199423000254. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPreantral to early antral follicles transition is a complex process regulated by endocrine and paracrine factors, as well as by a precise interaction among oocyte, granulosa cells and theca cells. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate this step of folliculogenesis is important to improve in vitro culture systems, and opens new perspectives to use oocytes from preantral follicles for assisted reproductive technologies. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the endocrine and paracrine mechanisms that control granulosa cell prolifera...
