Simple Summary The efficiency of producing embryos using in vitro technologies in cattle
species remains lower when compared to mice, indicating that the proportion of female …

BACKGROUND DNA damage is a hazard that affects all cells of the body. DNA-damage
repair (DDR) mechanisms are in place to repair damage and restore cellular function, as are …

Early stages of mammalian embryonic development are now known to be very sensitive to
their microenvironment, with long term effects on fetal, postnatal, and adult health, thus …

It has been found that the quality of oocytes from obese women has been compromised and
subsequent embryos displayed arrested development. The compromised quality may be …

Dynamic metabolism is exhibited by early mammalian embryos to support changing cell
fates during development. It is widely acknowledged that metabolic pathways not only satisfy …

Oocyte quality is perhaps the most important limiting factor in female fertility; however, the
current methods of determining oocyte competence are only marginally capable of …

Background Organoids, which are organs grown in a dish from stem or progenitor cells,
model the structure and function of organs and can be used to define molecular events …

Coherent Raman scattering (CRS) processes, including both the coherent anti-Stokes
Raman scattering and stimulated Raman scattering, have been utilized in state-of-the-art …

Transferrin (Tf) is an essential serum protein which delivers iron throughout the body via
transferrin-receptor (TfR)-mediated uptake and iron release in early endosomes. Currently …

Serum transferrin (Tf) is the essential iron transport protein in the body. Transferrin is
responsible for the sequestration of free iron in serum and the delivery of iron throughout the …
