The basis and significance of pre-patterning in mammals. by Gardner, R, Davies, T

“…The second polar body (Pb) provides an enduring marker of the animal pole of the zygote, thereby revealing that the axis of bilateral symmetry of the early blastocyst is aligned with the zygote's animal-vegetal axis. …”

Human sperm heads harbor modified YsRNA as transgenerationally inherited non-coding RNAs by Darja Elzer, Michelle Bremser, Hans Zischler

“…The presence of regulatory important RNAs in oocytes is undisputed, whereas the corresponding RNA payload in spermatozoa and its regulatory influence in the zygote and early embryogenesis is largely enigmatic. …”

Mechanisms of Mitochondrial ROS Production in Assisted Reproduction: The Known, the Unknown, and the Intriguing by James N. Cobley

“…I review the known mechanisms of ROS production in somatic mitochondria to critique how oocyte/zygote mitochondria may produce ROS (i.e., the unknown). …”

The Cell as the First Niche Construction by John S. Torday

“…The first instantation of niche construction has been faithfully adhered to by returning to the unicellular state, suggesting that the life cycle is zygote to zygote, not adult to adult as is commonly held. …”

Characterization of PSOP26 as an ookinete surface antigen with improved transmission-blocking activity when fused with PSOP25 by Peng-peng Wang, Xuefeng Jiang, Jie Bai, Fan Yang, Xinxin Yu, Yudi Wu, Wenqi Zheng, Yongzhe Zhang, Liwang Cui, Fei Liu, Xiaotong Zhu, Yaming Cao

“…The protein is dispensable for asexual blood-stage development, gametogenesis, and zygote formation, but is essential for the zygote-to-ookinete developmental transition. …”

Characterisation and expression of pbs25, a sexual and sporogonic stage specific protein of Plasmodium berghei. by del Carmen Rodriguez, M, Gerold, P, Dessens, J, Kurtenbach, K, Schwartz, RT, Sinden, R, Margos, G

“…Following gametogenesis and fertilisation in the bloodmeal within the mosquito midgut, the newly formed zygotes of the malaria parasite develop into motile invasive ookinetes. …”

The Study and Analysis of Sexual Cells (Gametes) in Human from the Perspective of Quran by Hamidreza Basiri, Maryam Gohari, Seyyed Mohammad Akrami

“…In this article, after examining the verses related to gametes, it was concluded that the term »maa«  refers to expressing absolute or specific features, the term »manie«  and its derivatives and the term »solaleh«  refer to gametes (sperm and ovule), but the term »notfeh« is absolutely related to gametes in some verses, and indicates the fertilized ovule (zygote) in other verses. The term »notfeh«with a special feature reveals zygote sperm as well as ovul, and accurate scientific points about gametes can be understood through the article.…”

Effect of temperature on embryogenesis of Trichuris ovis during in vitro cultivation by M. Petrenko

“…At this temperature, the zygote stage lasted up to 9 days, crushing and formation of blastomeres – up to 12 days, bean-like embryo – up to 18 days, tadpole-like embryo – up to 24 days, and larva formation – up to 30 days. …”

Mammalian Cell-Free System Recapitulates the Early Events of Post-Fertilization Sperm Mitophagy by Won-Hee Song, Dalen Zuidema, Young-Joo Yi, Michal Zigo, Zhibing Zhang, Miriam Sutovsky, Peter Sutovsky

“…Such patterns are consistent with our previous observation of SQSTM1 and VCP associating with sperm mitochondria inside the porcine zygote. In addition, it was observed that sperm head expansion mimicked the early stages of paternal pronucleus development in a zygote during prolonged sperm-oocyte extract co-incubation. …”

Single-Step Genome Editing of Small Ruminant Embryos by Electroporation by Ahmed K. Mahdi, Juan F. Medrano, Pablo J. Ross

“…We investigated the possibility of single-step genome editing in small ruminants by CRISPR-Cas9 zygote electroporation. We targeted SOCS2 and PDX1 in sheep embryos and OTX2 in goat embryos, utilizing a dual sgRNA approach. …”

2-Cell-like Cells: An Avenue for Improving SCNT Efficiency by Bo Fu, Hong Ma, Di Liu

“…After fertilization, the zygote genome undergoes dramatic structural reorganization to ensure the establishment of totipotency, and then the totipotent potential of the zygote or 2-cell-stage embryo progressively declines. …”
