OoTrap: Enhancing Oocyte Collection and Maturation with a Field-Deployable Fluidic Device

|
By Roksan Franko
| Royal Society of Chemistry Verified
OoTrap: Enhancing Oocyte Collection and Maturation with a Field-Deployable Fluidic Device Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are pivotal for contemporary reproductive medicine and species conservation. However, the manual handling required in these processes introduces stress that can compromise oocyte and embryo quality. This study introduces OoTrap, a novel fluidic device designed to streamline ART workflows by facilitating the capture and maturation of oocytes in a compact unit.

Developing and characterising decellularized extracellular matrix hydrogels to bio-fabricate female reproductive tissues

|
By Eduardo Martinez, Eduardo Martínez, Yasmin Franko, Roksan Franko, Giuliana Ferronato
| BioRxiv
Abstract This study investigated the development and characterization of decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels tailored for the bio-fabrication of female reproductive tissues, specifically targeting cortex, endometrium, medulla, and oviduct tissues. We aimed to evaluate the cytocompatibility, biomechanical properties, and overall efficacy of these dECMs in promoting cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation.

Mechanical Properties of Native and Decellularized Reproductive Tissues: Insights for Tissue Engineering Strategies

|
By Roksan Franko, Eduardo Martinez, Eduardo Martínez, Yasmin Franko, Giuliana Ferronato
| BioRxiv
Abstract Understanding the mechanical properties and porosity of reproductive tissues is vital for regenerative medicine in tissue engineering. This study investigated the changes in Young's modulus (YM), storage modulus (E'), loss modulus (E"), and porosity of native and decellularized bovine reproductive tissues during the estrous cycle. Testis tunica albuginea had significantly higher YM, E', and E" than the inner testis, indicating greater stiffness and viscoelasticity.
