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 …

Within the past decades, major progress has been accomplished in isolating
germ/stem/pluripotent cells, in refining culture medium and conditions and in establishing 3 …

Recent studies indicate that communication between the bovine embryo and the mother
begins in the oviduct. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of embryos on bovine oviducts …

Corpus luteum regression is related to an increased generation of reactive oxygen species.
Although several studies indicate that PGF (2alpha) is involved in regression of the corpus …

After insemination in the cow, a sperm reservoir is formed within the oviducts, allowing the
storage and then progressive release of spermatozoa toward the ovulated oocyte. In order to …

Assisted reproductive technologies have provided a very useful tool for studying early
embryonic development. The exchange of signals between the embryo and maternal …

During its journey through the oviduct, the bovine embryo may induce transcriptomic and
metabolic responses, via direct or indirect contact, from bovine oviduct epithelial cells …

This study identified microRNAs (miRNAs) in bovine oviductal fluids (OFs) and examined the
effect of miR-17-5p in OFs on embryonic development to the blastocyst stage. Small RNA …

In vitro, efficient communication between mammalian embryos in groups or between
embryos and cocultured somatic cells implies that there is a sender, a message and a …

Background Increasing evidence points to an active role of oviductal extracellular vesicles
(oEVs) in the early embryo-maternal dialogue. However, it remains unclear whether oEVs …
