Bacteria are ubiquitous in the bovine uterus after parturition, but 50 years ago, cows
tolerated these bacteria and few animals developed uterine disease. Now, up to 40% of …

Post-breeding endometritis (ie, inflammation/infection of the endometrium), is a
physiological reaction taking place in the endometrium of mares within 48 h post-breeding …

In the last decade, several new aspects of the inflammation of the bovine endometrium have
been investigated and described, including a new definition of subclinical endometritis. This …

After parturition, uterine involution, regeneration of the endometrium, return of ovarian cyclic
activity, and the control of pathogenic bacteria in the uterus is required before cows are likely …

Epigenetic reprogramming plays a pivotal role during embryogenesis, including both
covalent and non-covalent modifications to chromatin. In this study, we investigated the role …

Up to forty percent of dairy cows develop metritis or endometritis when pathogenic bacteria
infect the uterus after parturition. However, resilient cows remain healthy even when …

Particulate matter (PM) increases levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, but its effects on the
skin remain largely unknown. We investigated the signal transduction pathway and …

Bacterial infections of the endometrium after parturition commonly cause metritis and
endometritis in dairy cattle, and these diseases are important because they compromise …

In mammals, the sperm activates the development of the egg by triggering a series of
oscillations in the cytosolic-free Ca 2+ concentration (Ca 2+ i). The sperm triggers these …

Bacteria often infect the endometrium of cattle to cause endometritis, uterine disease, and
infertility. Lipopeptides are commonly found among bacteria and are detected by the Toll …
