Trisomic and monosomic (aneuploid) embryos account for at least 10% of human
pregnancies and, for women nearing the end of their reproductive lifespan, the incidence�…

Ionic liquids (IL) and hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) are two diverse fields for which there is
a developing recognition of significant overlap. Doubly ionic H-bonds occur when a H-bond�…

Simple ionic liquids have long been held to be designer solvents, based upon the ability to
independently vary their cations and anions. The formation of mixtures of ionic liquids�…

This document is a summary statement of the outcome from the meeting:“Bisphenol A: An
Examination of the Relevance of Ecological, In vitro and Laboratory Animal Studies for�…

Background: There is increasing concern that exposure to man-made substances that mimic
endogenous hormones may adversely affect mammalian reproduction. Although a variety of�…

The polarities of a wide range of ionic liquids have been determined using the Kamlet–Taft
empirical polarity scales α, β and π*, with the dye set Reichardt's Dye, N, N-diethyl-4�…

Background: In 2007, an expert panel reviewed associations between bisphenol A (BPA)
exposure and reproductive health outcomes. Since then, new studies have been conducted�…

In this paper we analyse the electronic properties of gas‐phase 1‐butyl‐3‐
methylimidazolium Cl ion pairs,[C4C1im] Cl, in order to deepen our understanding of ionic�…

In mammals, fertilization typically involves the ovulation of one or a few eggs at one end of
the female reproductive tract and the entry of millions of sperm at the other. Given this�…

Estrogen plays an essential role in the growth and maturation of the mammalian oocyte, and
recent studies suggest that it also influences follicle formation in the neonatal ovary. In the�…
