Measuring cumulus expansion of mammalian oocytes: comparing the reliability of methods and how artificial intelligence could automate the measurement Open
Cumulus expansion is an important indicator of oocyte maturation, often correlated with greater oocyte developmental capacity. Although multiple methods have been described to assess cumulus expansion, none of them is considered a gold sta…
