Embryo transfer to the uterine horn contralateral to the ovary containing the corpus luteum
(CL) negatively impacts pregnancy establishment in cattle. Our aim was to compare the …

In cattle, embryo transfer into the uterine horn contralateral to the corpus luteum results in a
higher incidence of pregnancy loss compared to transfer into the ipsilateral horn. We have …

The objective was to characterize endometrial transcriptome on d 17 of gestation in dairy
cows according to conceptus length. Nonlactating Holstein cows (n= 48) were slaughtered …

Infertility and subfertility are important and pervasive reproductive problems in both domestic
animals and humans. The majority of embryonic loss occurs during the first three weeks of …

Under natural conditions, some embryos cannot implant successfully because of the
dysfunction of receptive endometrium (RE). Thus, it is imperative for us to study the …

In cattle, starting 4–5 days after estrus, preimplantation embryonic development occurs in
the confinement of the uterine lumen. Cells in the endometrial epithelial layer control the …

The bovine pre-implantation embryo secretes bioactive molecules from early development
stages, but effects on endometrial function are reported to start only after elongation. Here …

Background In both beef and dairy cattle, the majority of early embryo loss occurs within the
first 14 days following insemination. During this time-period, embryos are completely …

Embryonic mortality is a major constraint to improving reproductive efficiency and profitability
in livestock enterprises. We previously reported differential expression of genes with …

Establishment of pregnancy in mammals requires reciprocal molecular communication
between the conceptus and endometrium that modifies the endometrial transcriptome and …
