Abstract Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is the prototype of the long pentraxin subfamily, an acute-phase
protein consisting of a C-terminal pentraxin domain and a unique N-terminal domain. PTX3 …

Follicular development is a highly coordinated process that in humans takes more than 6
months. Pituitary gonadotropins and a variety of locally produced growth factors and …

Abstract Background Prostaglandin F 2α (PGF 2α) may differentially affect viability of luteal
cells by inducing either proliferation or cell death (via apoptosis or necroptosis). The diverse …

Interferon-tau (IFNT), a maternal recognition of pregnancy (MRP) signals in domestic
ruminants, suppresses the release of luteolytic pulses of uterine prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a) …

The aim was to evaluate the expression of genes of steroidogenic, cholesterol uptake, and

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are branches of biomedical sciences that
facilitate the use of cells and biocompatible scaffolds in favor of tissue restoration. In this …

The corpus luteum (CL) plays a vital role in regulating the reproductive cycle, fertility, and in
maintaining pregnancy. Interferon-tau (IFNT) is the maternal recognition of a pregnancy …

The multimodular matricellular protein thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) was among the first
identified endogenous antiangiogenic molecules. Recent studies have shown THBS1 …

The ovulatory surge of LH triggers extensive structural, cellular, and molecular changes in
the periovulatory follicle, leading to ovulation and corpus luteum (CL) formation. In recent …

Simple Summary Within the intricacies of the reproductive cycle, the regression of the corpus
