The biofunctionalization step was also characterized by fluorescence microscopy and, in the case of barcodes, by adhesion experiments to the zona pellucida of mouse embryos.

Discover the crucial role of zinc sparks in mammalian fertilization, zona pellucida hardening, and embryo development.

This paper focuses on the measurement of zona pellucida thickness (ZPT) in In Vitro Fertilization(IVF) treatment. A novel compound loss functions-based instance segmentation approach, which is useful ...

Structural studies of fertilisation and zona pellucida module proteins – Luca Jovine's research group From microscopic algae to gigantic blue whales, the beginning of every sexually reproducing ...

Any burros gathered that were found to be fertile females, known as jennies, would be treated with the vaccine Procine Zona Pellucida before they would be returned to the site near the animal's ...

Background: Expression of Zona Pellucida glycoprotein 3 (ZP3) in healthy tissue is restricted to the extracellular Zona Pellucida layer surrounding oocytes of ovarian follicles and to specific cells ...

• The analysis of broken zona pellucida is not sufficiently convincing. Definitely the breakage of zona pellucida is most likely a result of oocyte denudation. However, this may indicate increased ...

When the first sperm gets through the corona radiata, through the zona pellucida and, finally, through the membrane of the egg itself, the egg releases enzymes that quickly harden the zona.
