In vitro production (IVP) of embryos and associated technologies in cattle have shown
significant progress in recent years, in part driven by a better understanding of the full …

The participation of extracellular vesicles in many cellular processes, including reproduction,
is unquestionable. Although currently, the tetraspanin proteins found in extracellular vesicles …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous membranous vesicles secreted by every cell
type and offer significant potential in therapy and diagnostics. Differential ultracentrifugation …

Background The success of early reproductive events depends on an appropriate
communication between gametes/embryos and the oviduct. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) …

Extracellular vesicles are lipoproteinaceous membrane-enclosed nanometer-sized
structures produced by cells and are thought to mediate cellular communications. Loaded …

In vitro fertilization (IVF) gives rise to embryos in a number of mammalian species and is
currently widely used for assisted reproduction in humans and for genetic purposes in cattle …

Worldwide over 5 million children have been conceived using assisted reproductive
technology, and research has concentrated on increasing the likelihood of ongoing …

The oviductal fluid is the first environment experienced by mammalian embryos at the very
beginning of life. However, it has long been believed that the oviductal environment was not …

Fertilization and early embryo development are regulated by a unique maternal-
gamete/embryo cross-talk within the oviduct. Recent studies have shown that extracellular …

In mammals, the oviduct (or the Fallopian tube in humans) can be divided into the
infundibulum (responsible for oocyte pick-up), ampulla (site of fertilization), isthmus (where …
