In vitro-produced embryos are constantly exposed to stressful conditions that can lead to the
activation of the apoptotic pathway. The nuclear Kappa B factor (NF-κB) is an inflammatory …

In this study, we investigated the impact of incorporating Interleukin-13 (IL-13) into the
embryonic culture medium and its influence on cryotolerance and cellular viability of vitrified …

The success of in vitro maturation (IVM) has a significant impact on the oocytes ability to
develop to blastocyst stage. The quality of the produced blastocysts can be evaluated using …

Heat shock and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induce apoptosis through different
mechanisms, with heat shock acting to cause mitochondrial depolarization and caspase-9 …

In vitro embryo production systems are limited by their inability to consistently produce
embryos with the competency to develop to the blastocyst stage, survive cryopreservation …

This work explored whether a well-characterized recombinant human interleukin-6 (hIL6)
protein will influence in vitro produced (IVP) bovine embryo development and survival after …

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of growth factor
supplementation and Vero cell co-culture on apoptosis and development of frozen thawed …

In vitro–produced (IVP) bovine embryos are more sensitive to cryopreservation than their in
vivo counterparts due to their higher lipid concentrations, whereas Bos indicus IVP embryos …

The aims of the present study were to:(1) evaluate the effect of vitrification and warming on
quality parameters and expression levels of pluripotency, apoptotic and stress genes in in …

Many domestic donkey breeds are at risk of extinction, there is a critical urgency for genome
resource banking. In the present study, we examined whether the use of Ficoll 70 added to …
