Large Overlap Between the Intestinal and Reproductive Tract Microbiomes of Chickens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Recent work characterized the chicken reproductive tract (oviduct) microbiome composition and its similarity to the egg and chick microbiomes. However, the origin of the oviduct microbiome has not been addressed yet. Here, we characterized the microbiome

Early embryo‐maternal communication in the oviduct: A review

Molecular Reproduction and Development, 2020
An intact embryo‐maternal communication is critical for the establishment of a successful pregnancy. To date, a huge number of studies have been performed describing the complex process of embryo‐maternal signaling within the uterus.

Oviduct epithelial cells constitute two developmentally distinct lineages that are spatially separated along the distal-proximal axis

bioRxiv, 2020
Owing to technical advances in single cell biology, the appreciation of cellular heterogeneity has increased, which has aided our understanding of organ function, homeostasis and disease progression.

Progesterone-Induced Sperm Release from the Oviduct Sperm Reservoir

Cells, 2022
In mammalian females, after sperm are deposited in the reproductive tract, a fraction of sperm migrates to the lower oviduct (isthmus) and forms a sperm storage site known as the functional sperm reservoir.

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated genome editing reveals seven testis‐enriched transmembrane glycoproteins dispensable for male fertility in mice

Andrology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background Mammalian fertilization is mediated by multiple sperm acrosomal proteins, many of which are testis‐enriched transmembrane glycoproteins expressed during spermiogenesis (e.g., Izumo sperm‐egg fusion 1, Sperm acrosome associated 6, and Transmembrane protein 95).

Sperm-fluid-cell interplays in the bovine oviduct: glycosaminoglycans modulate sperm binding to the isthmic reservoir

Scientific Reports, 2023
When entering the oviduct for fertilisation, spermatozoa come into contact with the oviduct fluid (OF) and can bind to luminal epithelial cells in the isthmus to form a sperm reservoir.

Expression and function of transient receptor potential channels in the female bovine reproductive tract [PDF]

, 2016
© 2016 Elsevier Inc. The epithelium lining the oviduct is critical for early reproductive events, many of which are mediated via intracellular calcium ions.

Hyperactivation is sufficient to release porcine sperm from immobilized oviduct glycans

Scientific Reports, 2022
Fertilizing sperm are retained by adhesion to specific glycans on the epithelium of the oviduct forming a reservoir before sperm are released from the reservoir so fertilization can ensue.

Neuromuscular organization and aminergic modulation of contractions in the Drosophila ovary [PDF]

, 2006
Background: The processes by which eggs develop in the insect ovary are well characterized. Despite a large number of Drosophila mutants that cannot lay eggs, the way that the egg is moved along the reproductive tract from ovary to uterus is less well ...
