Mammalian reproduction hinges upon the timely ovulation of a fully differentiated oocyte.
This event is the culmination of a complex and dynamic developmental relationship between …

Background Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for specific genes
involved in reproduction might improve reliability of genomic estimates for these low …

In mammals, suppressor of cytokine signalling (CISH, SOCS1 to SOCS7) factors control
signalling pathways involved in the regulation of numerous physiological processes …

Reduced oocyte and embryo quality are recognised as major factors in the problem of
disappointing fertility in high producing dairy cows. This review aims to shed more light on …

High follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) doses during ovarian stimulation protocols for
assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are detrimental to ovulatory follicle function and …

One of the challenges in mammalian reproduction is to understand the basic physiology of
oocyte quality. It is believed that the follicle status is linked to developmental competence of …

In vitro maturation (IVM) of immature oocytes is widely used in assisted reproduction
technologies in cattle, and is increasingly used to treat human infertility. The development …

Objective: Neem plant (Azadirachta indica) has been extensively used in Ayurvedic system
of medicine for female fertility regulation for a long time, but its mechanism of action remains …

Studying cumulus cell (CC) transcriptome is of great interest as it could provide a
noninvasive method to assess oocyte quality. In cattle, the search for quality markers has not …
