Practical considerations of dissolved oxygen levels for platelet function under hypoxia (2021)
Journal Article
Kusanto, B., Gordon, A., Naylor-Adamson, L., Atkinson, L., Coupland, C., Booth, Z., Ahmed, Y., Pires, I. M., Stasiuk, G. J., Sturmey, R., Calaminus, S. D., & Arman, M. (2021). Practical considerations of dissolved oxygen levels for platelet function under hypoxia. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 22(24), Article 13223. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms222413223

Investigating human platelet function in low-oxygen environments is important in multiple settings, including hypobaric hypoxia (e.g., high altitude), sea level hypoxia-related disease, and thrombus stability. These studies often involve drawing bloo... Read More about Practical considerations of dissolved oxygen levels for platelet function under hypoxia.

Amino acids and the early mammalian embryo: Origin, fate, function and life‐long legacy (2021)
Journal Article
Leese, H. J., McKeegan, P., & Sturmey, R. G. (2021). Amino acids and the early mammalian embryo: Origin, fate, function and life‐long legacy. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 18(18), Article 9874. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph18189874

Amino acids are now recognised as having multiple cellular functions in addition to their traditional role as constituents of proteins. This is well-illustrated in the early mammalian embryo where amino acids are now known to be involved in intermedi...

Intraovarian injection of platelet-rich plasma in assisted reproduction: too much too soon? (2021)
Journal Article
Atkinson, L., Martin, F., & Sturmey, R. G. (2021). Intraovarian injection of platelet-rich plasma in assisted reproduction: too much too soon?. Human Reproduction, 36(7), 1737-1750. https://doi.org/10.1093/humrep/deab106

The prospect of ovarian rejuvenation offers the tantalising prospect of treating age-related declines in fertility or in pathological conditions such as premature ovarian failure. The concept of ovarian rejuvenation was invigorated by the indication... Read More about Intraovarian injection of platelet-rich plasma in assisted reproduction: too much too soon?.

Embryo Metabolism and What Does the Embryo Need? (2021)
Book Chapter
Vergaro, P., & Sturmey, R. G. (2021). Embryo Metabolism and What Does the Embryo Need?. In K. Lundin, & A. Ahlström (Eds.), Manual of Embryo Culture in Human Assisted Reproduction (30-41). Cambridge University Press. https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108874014.005

The embryo is a dynamic structure that can be affected by the interaction with the surrounding environment. During its journey through the female reproductive tract from fertilization to implantation, the embryo undergoes numerous biochemical and phy...

Culture Media and Embryo Culture (2021)
Book Chapter
Sunde, A., & Sturmey, R. G. (2021). Culture Media and Embryo Culture. In K. Lundin, & A. Ahlström (Eds.), Manual of Embryo Culture in Human Assisted Reproduction (42-52). Cambridge University Press. https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108874014.006

Before considering the basis of embryo culture medium, it is worthwhile reflecting on its function. A detailed overview of embryo metabolism is given in Chapter 4; however, in brief, the embryo must satisfy changing demands for energy by consumption...
