Seminal plasma (SP), the non-cellular component of semen, is a heterogeneous composite
fluid built by secretions of the testis, the epididymis and the accessory sexual glands. Its …

Sperm selection in the female reproductive tract (FRT) is sophisticated. Only about 1,000
sperm out of millions in an ejaculate reach the fallopian tube and thus have a chance of …

Background Porcine seminal plasma (SP) is endowed with a heterogeneous population of
extracellular vesicles (sEVs). This study evaluated the immunophenotypic profile by high …

Semen modifies the expression of genes related to immune function along the porcine
female internal genital tract. Whether other pathways are induced by the deposition of …

Seminal plasma (SP) is not a pre-requisite for pregnancy. Yet, this heterogeneous,
composite SP has proven relevant for fertility, as mediator for cell-to-cell communication …

In the present study, we standardized an in vitro oviduct explants model for cattle and
assessed the oviduct explants binding ability and phenotypic characteristics of spermatozoa …

Based on the abundance of scientific publications, the polymodal sensor TRPV1 is known
as one of the most studied proteins within the TRP channel family. This receptor has been …

The Stabilin receptors are a two-member family in the type H class of scavenger receptors.
These dynamic receptors bind and internalize multiple ligands from the cell surface for the …

Seminal plasma (SP) is a complex fluid containing proteins, peptides, enzymes, hormones
as well as extracellular vesicles (EVs). The SP interacts with spermatozoa and the inner cell …

Differences between the in vitro and in vivo environment in which fertilization occurs seem to
play a key role in the low efficiency of porcine in vitro fertilization (IVF). This work proposes …
