Implantation success relies on intricate interplay between the developing embryo and the
maternal endometrium. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent an important player of this …

abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small, nanometre sized, membrane-enclosed
structures released by cells and are thought to be crucial in cellular communication. The …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression after
transcription. miRNAs are present in transcriptionally quiescent full-grown oocytes and …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of embryo attachment and outgrowth
critical for successful implantation. While EVs have garnered immense interest in their …

Abstract Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) present in oviductal (OF) and uterine fluid
(UF) have been shown to enhance bovine embryo quality during in vitro culture by reducing …

The sine qua non of new life is fertilization. However, approximately 50% of fertilized
eggs/blastocysts in cattle and up to 75% of those from human assisted reproductive …

Emerging evidence indicates that the relationship between COVID-19 and diabetes is
twofold: 1) it is known that the presence of diabetes and other metabolic alterations poses a …

The ovary and its hormones may have major effects on the in vitro developmental capacity of
the oocytes it contains. We related intrinsic ovarian factors namely the presence of corpus …

The mammalian zygote, formed after a sperm fertilizes an egg, undergoes several rounds of
mitosis and morphogenesis to form the blastocyst. During the peri-implantation period, the …

Since the discovery of interferon-tau (IFNT) over 30 years ago as the trophectodermal
cytokine responsible for the maintenance of the maternal corpus luteum (CL) in ruminants …
