Figure 1 (A) A single PHM sperm is unable to trigger normal Ca2+ oscillations in human vitro–matured oocytes, whereas (B) injecting two PHM sperm can provoke Ca2+ responses in some oocytes.

Supplemental Figure 1 Immunostaining of failed fertilized oocytes after ICSI-AOA. Confocal reconstructions are shown for DNA (A, B, C, and D) and microtubules (E, F, G, and H). The oocytes exhibited a single PB with DNA and microtubules (white asterisk) and spindles (yellow arrow). The sperm heads (white arrow) were either decondensing (A, C) or fully decondensed (B).
