Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and transmissible
gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) are two highly infectious and lethal viruses causing major …

Telomeres protect and cap linear chromosome ends, yet these genomic buffers erode over
an organism's lifespan. Short telomeres have been associated with many age‐related …

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 recent rise in speed and efficiency of new sequencing technologies have facilitated high-
throughput sequencing, assembly and analyses of genomes, advancing ongoing efforts to …

BACKGROUND Early embryo development (EED) forms the basis of assisted reproductive
technologies (ARTs), which are used to treat human infertility and to propagate other …

Gene-edited pigs for agricultural and biomedical applications are typically generated using
somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, SCNT requires the use of monoclonal cells …

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (scNT) is a useful way to create cloned animals. However,
scNT clones exhibit high levels of phenotypic instability. This instability may be due to …

Stem cells from dental tissues have been isolated and established for tooth regenerative
applications. However, basic characterization on their biological properties still needs to be …

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of melatonin during the culture of donor
cells and cloned embryos on the in vitro developmental competence and quality of cloned …

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF or FGF-2) is a member of the FGF family secreted by
different kinds of cells like HDFs and it is an important nutritional factor for cell growth and …
