In a study led by researchers at the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, extracellular vesicles (EVs) loaded with customisable anti-cancer antisense oligonucleotides suppressed cancer growth.

Mature egg cells, or oocytes, are essential for fertilization in assisted reproductive technologies. However, some ‘denuded’ oocytes, or those lacking the protective granulosa cell layer, fail to mature. Now, in a new study by researchers at Shinshu University, the team has developed a method to culture mature oocytes from these denuded oocytes in the lab. This innovative approach holds promise for overcoming significant challenges in reproductive science, marking a major advancement in fertility research.
