All mammalian uteri contain glands in the endometrium that develop only or primarily after
birth. Gland development or adenogenesis in the postnatal uterus is intrinsically regulated …

All mammalian uteri contain glands that synthesize or transport and secrete substances into
the uterine lumen. Uterine gland development, or adenogenesis, is uniquely a postnatal …

Bidirectional communication between the developing conceptus and endometrium is
essential for pregnancy recognition and establishment in ruminants. We dissect the …

Well-orchestrated maternal–fetal cross talk occurs via secreted ligands, interacting
receptors, and coupled intracellular pathways between the conceptus and endometrium and …

Understanding the molecular pattern of fertility is considered as an important step in
breeding of different species, and despite the high importance of the fertility, little success …

Secretions of the endometrium are vital for peri-implantation growth and development of the
sheep conceptus. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present in the uterine lumen, emanate …

This review integrates established and new information on the factors and pathways
regulating conceptus–endometrial interactions, conceptus elongation and establishment of …

Once considered a simple medium for sperm and embryo transport, the functional spectrum
of uterine fluid is now expanding. Novel molecular players, such as extracellular vesicles …

Infertility is a major problem in farm animals, which has a negative economic effect on farm
industries. Infertility can be defined as the inability of animals to achieve a successful …

During maternal recognition of pregnancy (MRP), a conceptus-derived signal leads to the
persistence of the corpus luteum and the maintenance of gestation. In the horse, the nature …
