conservation of genetic resources. Porcine research is important for animal husbandry and …

Studies of knockout (KO) mice with defects in the endolysosomal two-pore channels (TPCs)
have shown TPCs to be involved in pathophysiological processes, including heart and …

The Superfine Open Pulled Straw (SOPS) system is the most commonly used method for
vitrification of pig embryos. However, this system only allows the vitrification of four to seven …

Abstract Background: The porcine species (Sus scrofa domesticus) has had a great impact
as a source of food worldwide, but also it is a very useful animal for biomedical applications …

The most commonly used technique to vitrify pig embryos is the super open pulled straw
(SOPS), where a maximum of 6 embryos can be vitrified simultaneously per device without …

withstand biotechnological procedures as artificial insemination, freezing or sex sorting …

Pig pregnancy succeeds thanks to a well-coordinated system ruling both maternal immune
activation and embryonic antigen tolerance. In physiological pregnancies, the maternal …
