Abstract Colony-stimulating factor 3 (CSF3), also known as granulocyte colony-stimulating
factor, is used to reduce the incidence of mastitis in cattle. Here, we tested whether …

Background Colony stimulating factor 2 can have multiple effects on the function of the
preimplantation embryo that include increased potential to develop to the blastocyst stage …

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) have been implicated in a
variety of developmental abnormalities. Aberrant gene expression is likely to account for …

In vitro embryo production (IVP) is currently one of the most important biotechnologies in
cattle breeding and husbandry. However, the efficiency of in vitro embryo production is still …

Expression of embryonic genes is altered in different culture conditions, which influence
developmental potential both during preimplantation and fetal development. The objective of …

The in vitro production of bovine embryos by in vitro fertilization or nuclear transfer
procedures is a valuable tool in wide routine use for both scientific and commercial …

Current in vitro production (IVP) and somatic nuclear transfer (sNT) technologies have been
significantly improved in cattle. But the in vivo situation still cannot be mimicked sufficiently …

The developmental program of the embryo displays a plasticity that can result in long-acting
effects that extend into postnatal life. In mammals, adult phenotype can be altered by …
