Only a fraction of oocytes present in the ovaries at birth are ever ovulated during the lifetime
of a female mammal. In vitro maturation (IVM) offers the possibility to exploit what is a largely …

Building on the successful structure of the first edition, the second edition of Reproductive
Technologies in Farm Animals has been totally updated and revised to provide an up to date …

Interspecies blastocyst complementation enables organ-specific enrichment of xenogenic
pluripotent stem cell (PSC) derivatives. Here, we establish a versatile blastocyst …

Assisted reproductive technologies in all mammals are critically dependent on the quality of
the oocytes used to produce embryos. For reasons not fully clear, oocytes matured in vitro …

The quality and maturation of an oocyte not only play decisive roles in fertilization and
embryo success, but also have long-term impacts on the later growth and development of …

To increase productivity in the small ruminant industry, the genetic material of these species
should be improved. In vitro embryo production could be an important technology to reach …

Human assisted reproductive technology procedures are routinely performed in clinics
globally, and some of these approaches are now common in other mammals such as cattle …

Accumulating evidence indicates that ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell
death. This type of iron-dependent programmed cell death is different from traditional forms …

Assisted reproduction technology (ART) protocols are used in livestock for the improvement
and preservation of their genetics and to enhance reproductive efficiency. In the case of …

Cloned and transgenic pigs are relevant human disease models and serve as potential
donors for regenerative medicine and xenotransplantation. These technologies demand …
