Simple Summary Cystatin M/E is a low molecular mass protein and a potent inhibitor of
proteolytic enzymes (cathepsins B, L, V, and legumain). Cystatin M/E participates in …

The endometrium is fundamentally required for successful pregnancy in ruminants and
species where the posthatching conceptus undergoes a protracted elongation and peri …

Conceptus elongation is a fundamental developmental event coinciding with a period of
significant pregnancy loss in cattle. The process has yet to be recapitulated in vitro, whereas …

The aim was to examine the effect of embryo–uterine synchrony on conceptus elongation
and pregnancy rate in cattle. In Study 1, crossbred beef heifers each received 10 Day-7 in …

In ruminants, the establishment of proper conceptus–endometrial communication is
essential for conceptus implantation and subsequent successful placentation. Accumulated …

Background An early, reliable and noninvasive method of early pregnancy diagnosis is
prerequisite for efficient reproductive management in dairy industry. The early detection of …

Reproductive fluids from the female reproductive tract are gaining attention for their potential
to support and optimize reproductive processes, including gamete maturation and embryo …

Endocrine is an important and tightly regulated system for maintaining body homeostasis.

The aim of this study was to compare the transcriptome of the oviductal isthmus of pregnant
heifers with that of cyclic heifers as well as to investigate spatial differences between the …

The equine oviduct plays a pivotal role in providing the optimal microenvironment for early
embryonic development, but little is known about the protein composition of the oviducal …
