Developmental competence of mammalian oocytes-insights into molecular research and the promise of microfluidic technology: a review by B. Kempisty, P. Zawierucha, S. Ciesiolka, H. Piotrowska, P. Antosik, D. Bukowska, M. Jeseta, M. Nowicki, K.P. Brussow, M. Zabel

“…Developmental competence of female gametes determines their maturation ability, successful fertilisation, and proper zygote formation. Oocyte quality may be assessed by expression profiling of several gene markers such as Cx43, TGFB, GDF9, BMP, Lox and Pdia5 that determine the biological features of oocytes. …”
