This study identifies CDK1 as a critical regulator of DNA repair in dictyate-arrested oocytes, showing it facilitates RAD51-mediated homologous recombination to protect against genotoxic stress.

This study shows SUMO levels correlate with crossover rates across vertebrate species and within goat breeds, suggesting SUMO modulates meiotic crossover variation.

This study identifies the DGAT1-PANK2-NRF2 axis as critical for lipid droplet remodeling, redox balance, and oocyte quality, with dysfunction linked to age-related decline.

This study identifies Cathepsin B's role in regulating ovarian reserve through mitophagy and IGF1R turnover, showing its conservation in higher vertebrates.
