Early embryonic development takes place in the oviduct, where the preimplantation embryo
experiences a changing environment during the reproductive cycle (Hunter, 1988; Leese …

In this study the synthetic oviduct fluid (SOF) system with bovine oviduct epithelial cell
(BOEC) co-culture is compared with an SOF system with common protein supplements. One …

Oocytes and embryos are typically exposed sequentially to varying culture media in
standard in-vitro protocols. Expenditures of energy may be required following each medium …

Co‐culture remains a common method to support the development of bovine embryos,
derived from IVM/IVF procedures. However, the mechanism by which somatic cells confer …

Experiment 1 compared the development of 2-to 4-cell bovine embryos cultured in synthetic
oviductal fluid with 20% fetal calf serum or 3.2% BSA and in the presence of oviductal cells …

The objective of this study was to develop a serum-free medium for the co-culture of bovine
embryos that would yield a percentage of blastocysts equal to that obtained with fetal bovine …

Abstract Development of in vitro-produced bovine embryos was studied in 3 two-step culture
media: synthetic oviduct fluid (SOF), Gardner's G1/G2, and control (hamster embryo culture …

Summary ― This paper presents a synthesis of 3 year results of in vitro production of
bovine embryos in medium previously conditioned by bovine oviduct epithelial cells. In …

Producing bovine in vitro embryos individually is a challenge as it generally leads to
impaired embryo development. Earlier research optimised a single embryo in vitro …

Synthetic oviduct fluid medium supplemented with human serum (SOFM-HS) was evaluated
as a culture system for maintaining the viability and in vitro development of one-cell bovine …
