Extensive evidence suggests that the release of membrane-enclosed compartments, more
commonly known as extracellular vesicles (EVs), is a potent newly identified mechanism of …

Cell–cell communication is an essential mechanism for the maintenance and development
of various organs, including the female reproductive system. Today, it is well-known that the …

Cells release diverse types of membrane-bound vesicles of endosomal and plasma
membrane origin, termed exosomes and microvesicles, respectively. Extracellular vesicles …

This review focuses on the paracrine and endocrine actions of interferon tau (IFNT) during
pregnancy recognition and establishment in ruminants. Pregnancy recognition involves the …

BACKGROUND Nanotechnology involves the engineering of structures on a molecular
level. Nanomedicine and nano-delivery systems have been designed to deliver therapeutic …

The transition from pregnancy to lactation (ie the transition period) is a time of significant
metabolic challenge, with a several-fold increase in a cow's requirement for energy, protein …

Seasonal variations in environmental temperatures impose added stress on domestic
species bred for economically important production traits. These heat‐mediated stressors …

Pregnancy is established during the periconceptional period as a continuum beginning with
blastocyst attachment to the endometrial epithelial surface followed by embryo invasion and …

Embryo–maternal crosstalk is an important event that involves many biological processes,
which must occur perfectly for pregnancy success. This complex communication starts from …

A myriad of locally produced factors into the microenvironment of the reproductive tract is
regulated, not one-way but rather, through embryonic–maternal cross-talk. In this mini …
