Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2265-2278, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Activating transcription factor 3 promotes embryo attachment via up-regulation of leukemia inhibitory factor in vitro

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2017
Background A receptive endometrium is essential for maternal-embryonic molecular communication during implantation. However, the specific molecular regulatory mechanisms of the endometrial capacity remain poorly understood.

Efficacy of leukemia inhibitory factor in experimental autoimmune neuritis

open access: yes, 2002
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that exerts neurotrophic and myotrophic actions. We have investigated the effect of LIF in experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN), an animal model of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Treatment with

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor-Receptor is Dispensable for Prenatal Testis Development but is Required in Sertoli cells for Normal Spermatogenesis in Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a pleiotropic cytokine belonging to the interleukin-6 family, is most often noted for its role in maintaining the balance between stem cell proliferation and differentiation.

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor and Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 Critically and Mutually Sustain Pluripotency of Rabbit Embryonic Stem Cells

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2015
Effects of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) on establishment and maintenance of rabbit embryonic stem cell (rESC) lines were assessed.

Post‐Tuberculosis Lung Disease: Clinicopathologic Insights, Diagnosis, Prevention, and Management

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
A comprehensive review on post‐tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) addresses the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical phenotypes and management, risk factors, prevention and systems approach, and future directions. This review provides standardized definitions, mechanistic insights and biomarkers of PTLD development, and clinical strategies for PTLD ...

Mutation Analysis of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor-Receptor (LIF-R) in ACTH-Secreting Pituitary Adenomas

open access: yes, 2004
Numerous cytokines and particularly leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) are involved in the differentiation, proliferation, and secretory function of ACTH-producing pituitary cells.

Molecular Regulation of Post‐Hatching Embryo Development: Implications for Early Pregnancy Losses in Livestock Species

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Pregnancy loss (PL) remains a major limitation to reproductive efficiency in livestock, with a substantial proportion originating during early embryo development, particularly between blastocyst hatching and implantation. This developmental window encompasses complex processes of lineage differentiation and morphogenesis. Accumulating evidence

Differential Gene Expression of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell and Granulosa Cell Markers in Equine Follicular Aspirates

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Equine follicular aspirates obtained during ovum pick‐up contain a heterogeneous mixture of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and granulosa cells (GC). This study evaluates how selective isolation and expansion of MSC decrease GC populations.

Leukemia inhibitory factor favours neurogenic differentiation of long-term propagated human midbrain precursor cells

open access: yes, 2009
There is a lot of excitement about the potential use of multipotent neural stem cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the strategy is compromised by the general loss of multipotency and ability to generate neurons after long ...
