In ruminants, interferon-τ (IFNτ) is the maternal recognition signal inhibiting prostaglandin
(PG) F2α production by endometrial epithelial cells and stimulating interferon-stimulated …

Prostaglandins (PGs) are important regulators of reproductive functions. In ruminants,
interferon (IFN)-τ is the embryonic signal responsible for recognition of pregnancy. This is …

The establishment of pregnancy is a complex process that requires a well-coordinated
interaction between the implanting conceptus and the maternal uterus. In pigs, the …

It is known that prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) induces proliferation of epithelia in bovine
endometrial explants, however, the detailed mechanism of regulation of PGE 2 in inducing …

Uterine prostaglandins F2α (PGF2α) is essential for implantation, initiation of luteolysis and
delivery. Previous studies have demonstrated that the expression of Cyclooxygenase-2 …

Prostaglandins (PGs) are critical regulators of a number of reproductive processes, including
embryo development and implantation. In the present study, prostacyclin (PGI2) synthase …

Embryonic implantation involves a complex and well‐coordinated interaction between the
developing conceptus and maternal uterus, and the preimplantation period has a major …

During early pregnancy, a well-coordinated communication network between the conceptus
and maternal uterus is especially crucial in pigs in which there is a protracted pre …

Cytokines are thought to regulate prostaglandin (PG) secretion in the bovine endometrium.
However, there is no consensus about the role of interleukin-1α (IL1A) on PG secretion. The …
