The oviduct or Fallopian tube is the anatomical region where every new life begins in
mammalian species. After a long journey, the spermatozoa meet the oocyte in the specific …

The mammalian oviduct is the place where life begins as it is the site of fertilization and
preimplantation embryo development. Recent research has highlighted the important role …

Successful pregnancy requires an appropriate communication between the mother and the
embryo. Recently, exosomes and microvesicles, both membrane-bound extracellular …

High polyspermy is one of the major limitations of porcine invitro fertilisation (IVF). The
addition of oviductal fluid (OF) during IVF reduces polyspermy without decreasing the …

Mammalian oocytes are surrounded by an extracellular coat called the zona pellucida (ZP),
which, from an evolutionary point of view, is the most ancient of the coats that envelope …

Lutein cells produce progestins that support pregnancy. Steroidogenesis requires
coordination of the anabolic and catabolic pathways of lipid metabolism. Peroxisome …

Vegetables are plants or portion of plants cultivated for food with a savory flavor and
considerably nutritional value with little protein or fat. The yield and quality of vegetable …

In cattle, the oviduct is a tubular organ that connects the ovary and the uterus. The oviduct
lumen stages a dynamic set of cellular and molecular interactions to fulfill the noble role of …

Proteins are biomolecules responsible for a vast range of functions within living cells and
tissues. Over 150 different proteins are present in the fluid of the oviduct, where mammalian …

In cattle, molecular control of oviduct receptivity to the embryo is poorly understood. Here,
we used a bovine model for receptivity based on size of the pre-ovulatory follicle to compare …
