Oocyte and embryo quality is paramount for their utilization in ART ... the comparison was aimed at identifying similarities and differences between axolotls and Xenopus. The authors reported ...

To ensure the correct euploid state of embryos, it is essential that vertebrate oocytes await fertilization arrested at metaphase of meiosis II. This MII arrest is mediated by XErp1/Emi2, which ...

This valuable paper describes a comprehensive quantitative phospho-proteomic analysis of Xenopus oocytes during meiosis. Using time-resolved proteomic analyses, the authors provide insights into ...

The study aims to create a comprehensive repository about the changes in protein abundance and their modification during oocyte maturation in Xenopus laevis. The authors analyzed Xenopus oocytes at ...
