Georges Raad, Assistant Professor at American University of Beirut, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper he co-authored with colleagues published in Reproduction and Fertility։
“The full text of our latest study is now freely available!
After sharing different aspects of our research over the past few weeks, I am pleased to make the complete article available here on LinkedIn.
‘Cumulus cell DNA fragmentation in relation to oocyte yield and blastocyst quality’
Published in Reproduction and Fertility, our prospective study involving 112 ICSI cycles explored the associations between cumulus cell DNA fragmentation and embryological outcomes.
Beyond the individual findings, this work contributes to the growing interest in cumulus cell biology and the information these cells may provide about the follicular microenvironment and reproductive outcomes.
I warmly invite colleagues in embryology, reproductive medicine, and reproductive biology to read the study and share their thoughts, interpretations, and questions.”
