The role of PLAC8 in tumorigenesis has been gradually elucidated with the development of
research. Although there are common molecular mechanisms that enforce cell growth, the …

This review presents information on biochemical features of spermatozoa bearing X or Y
chromosome, enabling production of a sperm fraction with pre-defined sex chromosome …

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are important mediators of key cellular events. Herein, we
investigated the effect of adding cortisol to the IVM medium on the acquisition of …

This study evaluates the post‐hatching development of in vitro‐produced (IVP) embryos until
Day 14. On Day 7, IVP embryos were either transferred to recipient uteruses or placed in a …

Embryo aggregation has been demonstrated to improve cloning efficiency in mammals.
However, since no more than three embryos have been used for aggregation, the effect of …

Male and female embryos are known to be different in developmental kinetics, metabolism,
gene expression, and epigenetic patterns. Therefore, the objective of this study was to clarify …

Early embryonic development relies on the maternal RNAs and newly synthesized proteins
during oogenesis. Zygotic transcription is an important event occurring at a specific time after …

Between Days 10 and 12 of gestation, porcine embryos undergo a dramatic morphological
change, known as elongation, with a corresponding increase in oestrogen production that …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of differences in body weight gain
after embryo transfer on the pregnancy rates of crossbred heifers used as recipients and …

It is well-established that in vitro culture affects quality, gene expression, and epigenetic
processes in bovine embryos and that trophectoderm cells are the most susceptible to …
