TL;DR: It is concluded that impaired mitochondrial performance created by suboptimal CoQ10 availability can drive age‐associated oocyte deficits causing infertility.

TL;DR: Although there were no differences between the three groups with regard to maternal age, sperm parameters, oocyte maturation, fertilization or pregnancy rates, the potential adverse effect of sperm DNA damage on embryo quality and spontaneous pregnancy loss is concerning.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of hypo-osmotic swelling test to select viable sperm from nonmotile sperm samples for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was evaluated.

TL;DR: The expression of three placental markers that are expressed prior to implantation, beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G and pregnancy specific beta-1 glycoprotein (SP-1), was investigated and there was a highly positive correlation between accumulation of beta-HCG and HLA-G transcripts.

TL;DR: The low implantation rate in group 2, even though 33% of transferred embryos were derived from morphologically normal oocytes, suggests that repetitive organelle clustering may be associated with an underlying adverse factor affecting the entire follicular cohort.
