Sperm migration, selection, survival, and fertilizing ability in the mammalian oviduct
Biology of Reproduction, 2021 In vitro fertilization (IVF) gives rise to embryos in a number of mammalian species and is currently widely used for assisted reproduction in humans and for genetic purposes in cattle.

A genome-wide study to identify genes responsible for oviduct development in chickens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Molecular genetic tools provide a method for improving the breeding selection of chickens (Gallus gallus). Although some studies have identified genes affecting egg quality, little is known about the genes responsible for oviduct development.

Involvement of oviduct in sperm capacitation and oocyte development in pigs.
Reproduction (Cambridge, England) Supplement, 2020 An overview is presented on the structure and function of the pig oviduct in relation to sperm capacitation and oocyte development in vivo. In pigs, a functional sperm reservoir is established in the uterotubal junction-isthmus when sperm deposition ...

Lgr4 Regulates Oviductal Epithelial Secretion Through the WNT Signaling Pathway
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The WNT signaling pathway plays a crucial role in oviduct/fallopian development. However, the specific physiological processes regulated by the WNT pathway in the fallopian/oviduct function remain obscure.

Periovulatory follicular fluid levels of estradiol trigger inflammatory and DNA damage responses in oviduct epithelial cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 OBJECTIVE:Ovarian steroid hormones (mainly E2 and P4) regulate oviduct physiology. Serum-E2 acts on the oviduct epithelium from the basolateral cell compartment.

Sperm-Driven Micromotors Moving in Oviduct Fluid and Viscoelastic Media.
Small, 2020 Biohybrid micromotors propelled by motile cells are fascinating entities for autonomous biomedical operations on the microscale. Their operation under physiological conditions, including highly viscous environments, is an essential prerequisite to be ...
