Fetal Bovine Serum Is Essential for Maintaining Viability of Porcine Blastocysts During Extended In Vitro Culture: A Comparative Study With Defined Supplements. [PDF]
Reprod Domest AnimABSTRACT Extended in vitro culture (EIVC) of porcine embryos beyond Day 7 is critical for understanding peri‐implantation development but remains technically challenging due to the rapid degeneration of blastocysts. While defined serum‐free supplements, such as B27 and growth factor cocktails (FGF2, LIF, IGF1; FLI), have successfully supported EIVC in ...

Production of Mare Chorionic Girdle Organoids That Secrete Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 The equine chorionic girdle is comprised of specialized invasive trophoblast cells that begin formation approximately 25 days after ovulation (day 0) and invade the endometrium to become endometrial cups. These specialized trophoblast cells transition from uninucleate to differentiated binucleate trophoblast cells that secrete the glycoprotein hormone ...

Follicle Stimulating Hormone in Cattle Breeding: Fundamentals, Innovations, and Scope
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.FSH is crucial in cattle reproduction, with exogenous administration enhancing breeding and embryo production. Recombinant FSH offers advantages over pituitary‐extracted variants, including fewer injections, reduced stress, and safer production. These innovations improve breeding efficiency, optimize reproductive outcomes, and contribute to sustainable
