Optimizing treatment of tauroursodeoxycholic acid to improve embryonic development after in vitro maturation of cumulus-free oocytes in mice.
Cumulus-free in vitro maturation (IVM) provides a powerful tool to manipulate immature oocytes, but IVM oocytes lead to poor development after fertilization. Supplementation of the culture medium with tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), a bile acid, has been reported to improve the development of emb...
