Mammalian oocytes can reprogram differentiated somatic cells into a totipotent state through
somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), which is known as cloning. Although many mammalian …

Since domestication, pigs have been used extensively in agriculture and kept as companion
animals. More recently they have been used in biomedical research, given they share many …

Muscle development and lipid accumulation in muscle critically affect meat quality of
livestock. However, the genetic factors underlying myofiber-type specification and …

Thus far, the potential short-and long-term detrimental effects of a variety of environmental
chemicals designated as endocrine-active compounds (EACs) have been found to interfere …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes proteins for the electron transport chain which
produces the vast majority of cellular energy. MtDNA has its own replication and …

Background Mitochondrial heteroplasmy, the presence of more than one mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA) variant in a cell or individual, is not as uncommon as previously thought. It is mostly …

In this study we examined the effects of JNJ-7706621, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor,
on the in vitro growth of pig embryos that had been produced either by parthenogenetic …

Whereas it has been assumed that genetically modified tissues or cells derived from somatic
cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) should be accepted by a host of the same species, their …
