Application of extracellular flux analysis for determining mitochondrial function in mammalian oocytes and early embryos (2019)
Journal Article
Muller, B., Lewis, N., Adeniyi, T., Leese, H. J., Brison, D. R., & Sturmey, R. G. (2019). Application of extracellular flux analysis for determining mitochondrial function in mammalian oocytes and early embryos. Scientific reports, 9(1), Article 16778. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-53066-9

Mitochondria provide the major source of ATP for mammalian oocyte maturation and early embryo development. Oxygen Consumption Rate (OCR) is an established measure of mitochondrial function. OCR by mammalian oocytes and embryos has generally been rest...

Gene expression and metabolic response of bovine oviduct epithelial cells to the early embryo (2019)
Journal Article
Hamdi, M., Sánchez-Calabuig, M. J., Rodríguez-Alonso, B., Bagés-Arnal, S., Roussi, K., Sturmey, R., …Rizos, D. (2019). Gene expression and metabolic response of bovine oviduct epithelial cells to the early embryo. Reproduction, 158(1), 85-94. https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-18-0561

© 2019 Society for Reproduction and Fertility During its journey through the oviduct, the bovine embryo may induce transcriptomic and metabolic responses, via direct or indirect contact, from bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOECs). An in vitro model... Read More about Gene expression and metabolic response of bovine oviduct epithelial cells to the early embryo.

The enigmatic morula: mechanisms of development, cell fate determination, self-correction and implications for ART (2019)
Journal Article
Lagalla, C., Coticchio, G., Lagalla, C., Sturmey, R., Pennetta, F., & Borini, A. (2019). The enigmatic morula: mechanisms of development, cell fate determination, self-correction and implications for ART. Human Reproduction Update, 25(4), 422-438. https://doi.org/10.1093/humupd/dmz008

Background: Assisted reproduction technology offers the opportunity to observe the very early stages of human development. However, due to practical constraints, for decades morphological examination of embryo development has been undertaken at a few...
