Excerpt

Oocytes and early embryos are surrounded by a 13–15-μm thick of zona pellucida layer that is involved in the formation of binding with the spermatozoa, hardening process, induction of acrosome reaction, egg fusion, and prevention of polyspermy [1]. Its function becomes less important once the structural junctions between blastomeres in the compaction process are established [2]. …
