Research Question: Can federated learning be used to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model for evaluating oocyte competence using two-dimensional images of denuded oocytes in metaphase II prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)?
Results: The oocyte AI model demonstrated area under the curve (AUC) up to 0.65 on two blind test datasets. High sensitivity for predicting competent oocytes (83-88%) was offset by lower specificity (26-36%).

Background: Oocytes, the largest cells in mammals, harbor numerous mitochondria within their cytoplasm. These highly dynamic organelles are crucial for providing energy resources and serving as central regulators during oogenesis. Mitochondrial dynamics ensure proper energy distribution for various cellular processes involved in oocyte maturation.

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between ooplasm morphology, lipid content, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity (G6PDH) and maturation potential of domestic cat oocytes. Cumulus-oocyte complexes were classified according to ooplasm morphology: evenly dark (dCOC), heterogeneous/mosaic (hCOC), or light/transparent (lCOC), however only dCOCs are thought to be the best-quality, the remaining ones are usually rejected, therefore little is known about their intracellular properties. Lipid droplets (LDs) were visualized and quantified using Oil Red O.

Within the medical field of human assisted reproductive technology, a method for interpretable, non-invasive, and objective oocyte evaluation is lacking. To address this clinical gap, a workflow utilizing machine learning techniques has been developed involving automatic multi-class segmentation of two-dimensional images, morphometric analysis, and prediction of developmental outcomes of mature denuded oocytes based on feature extraction and clinical variables. Two separate models have been developed for this purpose-a model to perform multiclass segmentation, and a classifier model to classify oocytes as likely or unlikely to develop into a blastocyst (Day 5-7 embryo).

Background: The average age of childbearing has increased over the years contributing to infertility, miscarriages, and chromosomal abnormalities largely invoked by an age-related decline in oocyte quality. In this study, we investigate the role of nitric oxide (NO) insufficiency and protein nitration in oocyte chronological aging.
Methods: Mouse oocytes were retrieved from young breeders (YB, 8-14 weeks [w]), retired breeders (RB, 48-52w) and old animals (OA, 80-84w) at 13.
