Transcriptome-based insights into the calcium transport mechanism of chick chorioallantoic membrane by Qun Huang, Ran Yang, Qia Wang, Hui Teng, Hongbo Song, Fang Geng, Peng Luo

“…Time series analysis of the differential genes showed that the functional cells of CAM began to proliferate and differentiate at E9 and the calcium content of egg embryo increased significantly at E13. Simultaneously, the observation of the ultrastructure of the eggshell showed that the interstice of the fiber layer was enlarged at E13, and the mastoid layer was partly exposed. …”

Explainable artificial intelligence to identify follicles that optimize clinical outcomes during assisted conception by Simon Hanassab, Scott M. Nelson, Artur Akbarov, Arthur C. Yeung, Artsiom Hramyka, Toulin Alhamwi, Rehan Salim, Alexander N. Comninos, Geoffrey H. Trew, Tom W. Kelsey, Thomas Heinis, Waljit S. Dhillo, Ali Abbara

“…Our data suggests that larger mean follicle sizes, especially those >18 mm, were associated with premature progesterone elevation by the end of ovarian stimulation and a negative impact on live birth rates with fresh embryo transfer. These data highlight the potential of computer technologies to aid in the personalization of IVF to optimize clinical outcomes pending future prospective validation.…”

Exploring the maternal inheritance transmitted by the oocyte to its progeny by Verlhac, Marie-Hélène

“…These divisions are extremely asymmetric in terms of the size of the daughter cells, allowing to preserve the maternal inheritance accumulated during oocyte growth within these huge cells to support early embryo development. Studies performed in Marie-Hélène Verlhac’s lab have allowed to discover the unprecedented impact of original acto-myosin based mechanisms in the constitution as well as the preservation of this maternal inheritance and the consequences when these processes go awry.…”
