The oviductal fluid is the first environment experienced by mammalian embryos at the very
beginning of life. However, it has long been believed that the oviductal environment was not …

The advent of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in animals and humans implies an extraordinary
change in the environment where the beginning of a new organism takes place. In mammals …

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

To evaluate the effect of conditioned media (CM) and Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) derived
from bovine oviduct epithelial cell (BOEC) lines on the developmental capacity of bovine …

Contents Cryopreservation of in vitro‐derived bovine embryos is a crucial step for the
widespread reproduction and conservation of valuable high‐merit animals. Given the …

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 …

This study examined the effect of the presence of single or multiple embryos on the
transcriptome of the bovine oviduct. In experiment 1, cyclic (nonbred, n= 6) and pregnant …

The oviduct is the anatomical part of the female reproductive tract where the early
reproductive events take place, from gamete transport, fertilization and early embryo …

To evaluate the effect of bovine oviductal fluid (OF) supplementation during in vitro culture of
bovine embryos on their development and quality, in vitro-produced zygotes were cultured …

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