Assisted Oocyte Activation (AOA) with Calcium Ionophore, is possible to manually activate the oocytes and cure globozoospermia, thus leading to successful pregnancy in 1 h after ICSI. But in this case, we report a case that 44 h after ICSI, the arrest zygotes assisted oocyte activation with calcium ionophore, obtained clinical pregnancy and live birth. Accordingly, AOA may provide us with an immediate treatment for embryonic arrest in the future.

The developmental competence and epigenetic progression of oocytes gradually become dysregulated with increasing maternal age. However, the mechanisms underlying age-related epigenetic regulation in oocytes remain poorly understood. Zygote arrest proteins 1 and 2 (ZAR1/2) are two maternal factors with partially redundant roles in maintaining oocyte quality, mainly known by regulating mRNA stability.

This study investigated whether luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) expression varies in the granulosa cells of individual follicles according to the maturation stage of the oocytes harvested for assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment. We observed minimal to no LHR mRNA and protein expression in cumulus cells surrounding oocytes arrested in the germinal vesicle (GV) stage. Interestingly, their ability to mature was confirmed by rescue in vitro maturation, suggesting somatic cell LHR deficiency as a key factor for the retrieval of GV oocytes in ART procedures.

Purpose: This study is to evaluate duration of oocyte cryostorage and association with thaw survival, fertilization, blastulation, ploidy rates, and pregnancy outcomes in patients seeking fertility preservation.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients who underwent fertility preservation from 2011 to 2023 via oocyte vitrification for non-oncologic indications. Primary outcome was thaw survival rate.

Objectives: The Bioethics Law of August 2nd, 2021 established access to origins for people conceived by gamete donation. Two years after the implementation of this disposition, what is the proportion of former gamete donors informed about access to origins, and what is their position on this matter? What could be the potential repercussions of this new law on them? .
Methods: Retrospective single-center cohort study using questionnaires Results: When former gamete donors were asked about access to origins, only 53 % of oocytes donors and 71 % of sperm donors were aware of this measure.

Background: Oocyte maturation defect (OMD) and early embryonic arrest result in female infertility. Previous studies have linked biallelic mutations in the PATL2 gene to OMD, yet the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown.
Results: This study uncovers three novel mutations (c.
