"Failures in expression of zona proteins correlate to subfertility in animals. Low expression of the zona proteins by the growing human oocyte may indicate reduced developmental potential. "Therefore," wrote Y. Shen and colleagues, University of Bielefeld, "we non-invasively analysed the thickness and the structure of the ZP of human oocytes with respect to embryo fate after ICSI." "Retardance magnitude and thickness of the inner, middle and outer layers of the ZP were quantitatively...
