Nerve tissue engineering is one of the most promising methods to restore nerve systems in human health care. Scaffold design has pivotal role in nerve tissue engineering. Polymer blending is one of… (More)
We describe a fluorimetric method for measuring the level of H2O2 in individual mouse oocytes and early embryos. Levels of H2O2 are low but detectable in unfertilized oocytes recovered freshly from… (More)
A major obstacle to the study of mammalian development, and to the practical application of knowledge gained from it in the clinic during therapeutic in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer… (More)
Fabrication of scaffolds with suitable chemical, mechanical, and electrical properties is critical for the success of nerve tissue engineering. Electrical stimulation was directly applied to… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the influence of DNA fragmentation, DNA methylation, and protamine deficiency as indicators of chromatin status on assisted reproductive technology outcome, and also to assess… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate efficiency of ionomycin on fertilization and cleavage rates, embryo development, and pregnancy rate after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in teratozoospermic patients.… (More)
Among the numerous attempts to integrate tissue engineering concepts into strategies to repair nearly all parts of the body, neuronal repair stands out. This is partially due to the complexity of the… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To review different methods for artificial oocyte activation and its impact on intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
DESIGN
Literature review.
SETTING
University-based and… (More)
The present study aims to investigate if prematuration culture (PMC) of ovine oocytes in the presence of a phosphodiesterase type 3 (PDE3) inhibitor cilostamide can improve the shortcomings of… (More)
Substitution of egg yolk with soybean lecithin may reduce hygienic risks in extenders. Though a few studies have been performed on the effect of soybean lecithin in bull, to date evaluation of ram… (More)
