Bull fertility is an important economic trait in sustainable cattle production, as infertile or
subfertile bulls give rise to large economic losses. Current methods to assess bull fertility are …

This article summarizes the structure, signal transduction and physiologic functions of the
HGF/Met pathway, as well as its role in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Moreover, it …
