RESEARCH QUESTION: Can a deep learning image analysis model be developed to assess oocyte quality by predicting blastocyst development from images of denuded mature oocytes?
Cumulus expansion is an important indicator of oocyte maturation and has been suggested to be indicative of greater oocyte developmental capacity. Although multiple methods have been described to assess cumulus expansion, none of them is considered a...
During animal development, embryos undergo complex morphological changes over time. Differences in developmental tempo between species are emerging as principal drivers of evolutionary novelty, but accurate description of these processes is very chal...
Cell state atlases constructed through single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analysis are powerful tools for analyzing the effects of genetic and drug treatment-induced perturbations on complex cell systems. Comparative analysis of such atlases can yield ...
RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the association between the deep learning-based scoring system, iDAScore, and biological events during the pre-implantation period?
Polarization of the mammalian embryo at the right developmental time is critical for its development to term and would be valuable in assessing the potential of human embryos. However, tracking polarization requires invasive fluorescence staining, im...
Time-lapse systems have quickly become a common feature of in vitro fertilization laboratories all over the world. Since being introduced over a decade ago, the alleged benefits of time-lapse technology have continued to grow, from undisturbed cultur...
Genome editing simplifies the generation of new animal models for congenital disorders. However, the detailed and unbiased phenotypic assessment of altered embryonic development remains a challenge. Here, we explore how deep learning (U-Net) can auto...
fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) technology make it possible for infertile couples to conceive a baby successfully. Nevertheless, IVF-ET does not guarantee success. Frozen embryo transfer (FET) is an important supplement to IVF-ET. Many factor...
