The female reproductive tract (FRT) undergoes extensive remodeling during reproductive
cycling. This recurrent remodeling and how it shapes organ-specific aging remains poorly …

The oviduct is the site of fertilization and preimplantation embryo development in mammals.
Evidence suggests that gametes alter oviductal gene expression. To delineate the adaptive …

Decades of work demonstrate that the mammalian estrous cycle is controlled by cycling
steroid hormones. However, the signaling mechanisms that act downstream, linking …

OGP, encoded by the Ovgp1 gene, is the major non-serum oviductal protein in most
mammals. In the genome of Rattus norvegicus, Ovgp1 has been identified as a …

The physiological and clinical importance of motile cilia in reproduction is well recognized,
however, the specific role they play in transport through the oviduct and how ciliopathies …

The female reproductive tract (FRT) undergoes extensive remodeling during each
reproductive cycle, regulated by systemic changes in sex hormones. Whether this recurrent …

Little is known about the physiological role of prolactin in the oviduct. Examining mRNA for
all four isoforms of the prolactin receptor (PRLR) in mice by functional oviduct segment and …

The adult uterus regenerates in the human during the menstrual cycle, and remodels in the
mouse during the estrous cycle. Decades of work has demonstrated that this process is …

In brief Modes of reproduction across limbed vertebrates are diverse, but the molecular
mechanisms required for the development and maintenance of reproductive tract tissue …

The oviduct comprises 4 main regions: infundibulum (oocyte pick-up), ampulla (fertilization),
isthmus (sperm capacitation and reservoir, preimplantation embryonic development), and …
