Role of Visfatin in Restoration of Ovarian Aging and Fertility in the Mouse Aged 18 Months
The activation of dormant primordial follicles and ovarian angiogenesis has been attempted as a new treatment strategy for age-related ovarian aging. This study examined whether visfatin rescues age-related fe...

Rescue for Primary Ovarian Insufficiency
Advancing female age causes the changes in ovarian function and finally results in reproductive aging. Ovarian aging is characterized by a gradual reduction of follicle number and oocyte quality. Oocyte aging ...

Open AccessAll-optical THz wave switching based on CH3NH3PbI3 perovskites
Hybrid structures of silicon with organic–inorganic perovskites are proposed for optically controllable switching of terahertz (THz) waves over a broad spectral range from 0.2 to 2THz. A 532-nm external laser ...

Open AccessDifferential expression of pluripotent and germ cell markers in ovarian surface epithelium according to age in female mice
Many studies have proposed that putative ovarian stem cells (OSCs) derived from the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) layer of adult mammalian ovaries can produce oocytes. Few studies have reported that ovaries...

Characterization of in-situ terahertz detection by optical interaction in a periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate nonlinear crystal
Terahertz waves are generated using a femtosecond laser pulse in a periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate crystal and simultaneously detected via a non-collinear optical parametric interaction ins...

Effects of peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients on the release of monocyte-specific chemokines by leukocytes
Chemokines have been implicated in the pathological process of endometriosis. We compared the effects of peritoneal fluid obtained from patients with endometriosis (ePF) and controls without endometriosis (cPF...

Clinical Assisted Reproduction: Cumulus Cells Apoptosis as an Indicator to Predict the Quality of Oocytes and the Outcome of IVF–ET
Purpose: Our purpose was to establish an evaluation system for oocyte quality based on the incidence of cumulus cells apoptosis and to examine the effect of coculture, using autologous cumulus cells, on the outc...

Relationships Between Concentrations of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Nitric Oxide in Follicular Fluid and Oocyte Quality
Purpose: Our objective was to explain a relationshipbetween concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)and nitric oxide (NO) in follicular fluid, oocyte quality, andoutcomes of in vitro fertilization=nembr...
