female pronucleus

On fertilisation, gametes undergo epigenetic reorganisation and re-establish totipotency. Here, we investigate links between… (More)

A male pronucleus migrates toward the center of an egg to reach the female pronucleus for zygote formation. This migration… (More)

The objectives of this study were 1) to compare the efficiency of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with and without… (More)

The maternal to zygotic transition is the first major transition that occurs following fertilization, and entails a dramatic… (More)

In the mouse embryo, transcriptional activation begins during S/G2 phase of the first cell cycle when paternal and maternal… (More)

Transcription of endogenous genes in preimplantation 1- and 2-cell mouse embryos was determined by monitoring the incorporation… (More)

In this study, we have used time-lapse video cinematography to study fertilization in 50 human oocytes that had undergone… (More)

The second polar body (2PB), extruded from metaphase II oocytes after fertilization or oocyte activation, has a haploid set of… (More)

It has been suggested that the failure of parthenogenetic mouse embryos to develop to term is primarily due to their aberrant… (More)

There has been much speculation on whether mammalian eggs with two male pronuclei can develop normally. Eggs with two female… (More)
