A comprehensive understanding of the complex embryo-maternal interactions during the
preimplantation period requires the analysis of very early stages of pregnancy. These are …

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 …

Contents There are convincing arguments to suggest that the success of early reproductive
events is reliant on a satisfactory dialogue between gametes–embryo and the oviduct …

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

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 …

Different in vitro models have been developed to study the interaction of gametes and
embryos with the maternal tract. In cattle, the interaction of the oviduct with gametes and …

Background: Bovine oviduct epithelial cells are widely used in co‐culture experiments to
improve early embryonic development and in vitro fertilization in embryo transfer …

In mammals, the oviduct may participate to the regulation of early embryo development. In
vitro co-culture of early bovine embryos with bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOEC) has been …

Rabbit 2‐cell embryos were co‐cultured in Basal Synthetic Medium II+ 10% fetal bovine
serum with one of the following: primary cultures of rabbit oviduct epithelial cells (ROEC), a …

Assisted reproductive technologies have provided a very useful tool for studying early
embryonic development. The exchange of signals between the embryo and maternal …
