MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are active regulators of numerous biological and physiological
processes including most of the events of mammalian reproduction. Understanding the …

BACKGROUND Achieving the correct spatial and temporal expression of germ-cell-specific
genes is fundamental to the production of viable healthy spermatozoa. Notably, post …

BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs that play an important
role in regulating various biological processes through their interaction with cellular …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly discovered endogenous class of small noncoding RNAs
that play important posttranscriptional regulatory roles by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or …

We provide a review of microRNA (miRNA) related to human implantation which shows the
potential diagnostic role of miRNAs in impaired endometrial receptivity, altered embryo …

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have been derived from the embryos of mice and humans,
representing the two major sources of PSCs. These cells are universally defined by their …

Multipotent adult germ‐line stem cells (maGSCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)
could be used to generate autologous cells for therapeutic purposes, which are expected to …

The oviduct is a complex and organized thin tubular structure connecting the ovary with the
uterus. It is the site of final sperm capacitation, oocyte fertilization and, in most species, the …

We review the application of Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system to understand key
aspects of stem cell biology. The only bona fide stem cells in C. elegans are those of the …

Ever since the technique of coaxing ordinary skin cells into becoming pluripotent stem cells
(iPSCs) has been developed, which have the potential to become any cell or tissue in the …
