In primates, including women, and in rodents, Natural Killer lymphocytes (NK cells) have a
unique relationship with the decidualizing uterus. Implantation sites from genetically …

Cell electrofusion in microfluidic devices attracted great attention in recent years due to its
widespread applications potential in cell-based studies. In these microfluidic devices, many …

Protocols for the successful manipulation and preservation of semen in a given species
depend upon a fundamental knowledge of how spermatozoa respond to the …

Embryologists working with livestock species were the pioneers in the field of
reprogramming by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Without the “Dolly experiment,” the …

In 2003, three groups around the world simultaneously discovered that KISS1R (GPR54) is
a key gatekeeper of sexual maturation in both mice and men. Developmental changes in the …

Nuclear transfer (NT) remains the most effective method to reprogram somatic cells to
totipotency. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) efficiency however remains low, but …

Taking into account the latest Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature
in which 25% of all mammals are threatened with extinction, somatic cell nuclear transfer …

In studies carried out previously, we demonstrated that small ubiquitin-like modifier 1
(SUMO1) is associated with poor sperm motility when evaluated with a protocol that reveals …

More than a decade has now passed since the birth of the first endangered species
produced from an adult somatic cell reprogrammed by somatic cell nuclear transfer. At that …

The success of cloned animal “Dolly Sheep” demonstrated the somatic cell nuclear transfer
(SCNT) technique holds huge potentials for mammalian asexual reproduction. However, the …
