The oviduct provides a suitable microenvironment from the gametes' final maturation until
initial embryo development. Dynamic functional changes are observed in the oviduct cells …

Background Reproductive success depends on a functional oviduct for gamete storage,
maturation, fertilization, and early embryonic development. The ovarian-derived steroids …

During its journey through the oviduct, the bovine embryo may induce transcriptomic and
metabolic responses, via direct or indirect contact, from bovine oviduct epithelial cells …

The oviduct epithelium undergoes marked morphological and functional changes during the
oestrous cycle. To study these changes at the level of the transcriptome we did a systematic …

We established a short-term (24 h) culture system for bovine oviduct epithelial cells
(BOECs), obtained on day 3.5 of the estrous cycle and evaluated the cells with respect to …

Background The mammalian oviduct provides the optimal environment for gamete
maturation including sperm capacitation, fertilization, and development of the early embryo …

We studied differential gene expression in ipsilateral and contralateral bovine oviduct
epithelial cells using a combination of subtracted cDNA libraries and cDNA array …

We have previously mimicked the morphological and functional changes occurring in the
oviduct epithelium during the estrous cycle in vitro by using an air-liquid interface (ALI) …

Among many factors, the epithelium lining the oviductal lumenis very important for the
development of the oocyte and its subsequent fertilization. The oviductal epithelium is …

In vitro models that resemble cell function in vivo are needed to understand oviduct
physiology. This study aimed to assess cell functions and insulin effects on bovine oviductal …
