    • Artificial oocyte activation: physiological, pathophysiological and ethical aspects 

      Anifandis G., Michopoulos A., Daponte A., Chatzimeletiou K., Simopoulou M., Messini C.I., Polyzos N.P., Vassiou K., Dafopoulos K., Goulis D.G. (2019)
      Infertile couples with low oocyte yield in combination with abnormal semen parameters may experience intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failure. An established factor associated with ICSI failure is oocyte activation ...

    • Enhanced Ca2+ Entry Sustains the Activation of Akt in Glucose Deprived SH-SY5Y Cells 

      Kourti M., Liaropoulou D., Paschou M., Giagklisi I., Paschalidi M., Petani E., Papazafiri P. (2022)
      The two crucial cellular insults that take place during cerebral ischemia are the loss of oxygen and loss of glucose, which can both activate a cascade of events leading to neuronal death. In addition, the toxic overactivation ...

    • Sperm contributions to oocyte activation: more that meets the eye 

      Anifandis G., Messini C.I., Dafopoulos K., Daponte A., Messinis I.E. (2016)
      It is well known that for successful fertilization, oocyte activation is required, which involves a signal transduction cascade leading to the conversion of the oocyte to a diploid embryo. During oocyte activation, ...
