donors for regenerative medicine and xenotransplantation. These technologies demand …

Genetically modified pigs represent a great promise for generating models of human
diseases and producing new breeds. Generation of genetically edited pigs using somatic …

One principal purpose of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is to produce viable and
good quality embryos. However, a variety of environmental factors may induce epigenetic …

Background: Embryos are usually produced in culture systems with an oil overlay, which
conveys protection against the evaporation of water and microbial contamination. The oil …

Mineral oil as a barrier can minimize temperature, osmolality, and pH fluctuation of the
media in the in vitro embryo production system (IVP). Regardless of these advantages …

Early embryogenesis is a self-organised process with remarkable plasticity. This early
development is crucial in forming distinct cell lineages with varying levels of developmental …

In vitro embryo production (IVP) has provided insights into early embryogenesis in the
murine model, however our current understanding of embryogenesis in the bovine model is …

Different total lengths of sex chromosomes in mammals lead to different DNA contents in X-
and Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa (Moruzzi, 1979). Attempts to precisely measure …
