Successful pregnancy requires an appropriate communication between the mother and the
embryo. Recently, exosomes and microvesicles, both membrane-bound extracellular …

The oviduct is the anatomical part of the female reproductive tract where the early
reproductive events take place, from gamete transport, fertilization and early embryo …

Background The success of early reproductive events depends on an appropriate
communication between gametes/embryos and the oviduct. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) …

In mammals, the oviduct (or the Fallopian tube in humans) can be divided into the
infundibulum (responsible for oocyte pick-up), ampulla (site of fertilization), isthmus (where …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as novel cell-to-cell communication mediators in
physiological and pathological scenarios. Their ability to transfer their molecular cargo …

Embryo–maternal crosstalk is an important event that involves many biological processes,
which must occur perfectly for pregnancy success. This complex communication starts from …

Oviductal extracellular vesicles (oEVs) are emerging as key players in the gamete/embryo–
oviduct interactions that contribute to successful pregnancy. Various positive effects of oEVs …

Secretions of the endometrium are vital for peri-implantation growth and development of the
sheep conceptus. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present in the uterine lumen, emanate …

Once in the female reproductive tract, spermatozoa undergo several modifications to acquire
their complete fertilizing ability. Interactions between the oviductal fluid (OF) and gametes …

STUDY QUESTIONS Are extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the murine oviduct (oviductosomes,
OVS) conserved in humans and do they play a role in the fertility of Pmca4−/− females …
