Advances in the Study of Pluripotent Stem Cells in Livestock

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Livestock pluripotent stem cells include embryonic stem cells (ESCs) isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from somatic cell reprogramming. They hold significant potential for applications in livestock breed improvement, rapid propagation, human disease modelling and human organ ...

Expression of leptin and adiponectin in the rat oviduct [PDF]

, 2007
SUMMARY In mammals, the oviduct is an important source of factors that play key roles in reproductive and developmental events. The major components of oviduct fluid are oviductspecific glycoproteins, but other proteins are synthesized and secreted by ...

Expression and localization of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2, -7, -9) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMP-2, -3) in the chicken oviduct during maturation

Cell and Tissue Research, 2015
Although participation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in reproductive tract remodeling has been strongly suggested in mammalian species, the role of MMPs in the avian oviduct has received little attention.

Multi‐Omics Reveal the Metabolic Changes in Cumulus Cells During Aging

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Fatty acid β‐oxidation was elevated in cumulus cells from older mice. Tryptophan metabolism in aged cumulus cells was active. Supplementing with 5‐HT could mitigate aging damage in oocytes. ABSTRACT Maternal age has been reported to impair oocyte quality.

Intravaginal injection of Lactobacillus johnsonii may modulates oviductal microbiota and mucosal barrier function of laying hens

Poultry Science, 2023
: The avian oviduct connects to the gastrointestinal tract through cloaca, where it is exposed to pathogenic bacteria from intestinal contents. Therefore, improvement of mucosal barrier function in the oviduct is important for safe poultry production ...

STING-dependent recognition of cyclic di-AMP mediates type I interferon responses during Chlamydia trachomatis infection. [PDF]

, 2013
UnlabelledSTING (stimulator of interferon [IFN] genes) initiates type I IFN responses in mammalian cells through the detection of microbial nucleic acids. The membrane-bound obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis induces a STING-dependent

The oviduct: A key organ for the success of early reproductive events

, 2015
Fertilization in a large number of animals occurs in a specific region of the female genital tract called the oviduct (uterine tube or Fallopian tube), which adjoins into the uterus and is located close to the ovary (Figures 1 and 2).

The battle of the sexes starts in the oviduct: modulation of oviductal transcriptome by X and Y-bearing spermatozoa

BMC Genomics, 2014
BackgroundSex allocation of offspring in mammals is usually considered as a matter of chance, being dependent on whether an X- or a Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoon reaches the oocyte first.

Decoding the Molecular Landscape of Prepubertal Oocyte Maturation: GTPBP4 as a Key Driver of In Vitro Developmental Competence

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Transcriptional and translational characteristics during goat oocyte maturation and identification of key factors, including GTPBP4, for prepubertal goat oocyte maturation. ABSTRACT The intricate mechanisms driving oocyte maturation remain only partially understood, especially within the domains of domestic animal reproduction and translational ...

Production and Functional Verification of 8‐Gene (GGTA1, CMAH, β4GalNT2, hCD46, hCD55, hCD59, hTBM, hCD39)‐Edited Donor Pigs for Xenotransplantation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of generation of 8‐gene‐edited cloned pigs and their verification by pig to non‐human primate kidney xenotransplantation. ABSTRACT Gene‐edited (GE) pig‐to‐human xenotransplantation continues to make breakthroughs, but which kind of gene combination is suitable for organ‐specific transplantation remains unclear.
