Sperm storage is an important reproductive strategy in Amphioctopus fangsiao. Sperm can be stored in the oviducal glands up to eight months before fertilization. However, studies on the underlying storage mechanisms remain limited.

Cell-type specificity of regulatory elements identified by linker scanning mutagenesis in the promoter of the chicken lysozyme gene [PDF]
The chicken lysozyme gene is constitutively expressed in macrophages, in oviduct cells its expression is controlled by steroid hormones, and in fibroblasts the gene is not expressed.

Multi‐ciliated cells in the infundibulum and ampulla (INF/AMP) epithelium are vacuolated in aging. Unique cellular susceptibility of the INF/AMP epithelial population and aging‐associated decline in ovarian artery circulation, which supports the ovary and INF/AMP, contribute to this region‐specific vacuolation phenotype, as a consequence of a mildly ...

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, INCUBATION PROTOCOLS, AND EGG CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GANGES SOFTSHELL TURTLE (ASPIDERETES GANGETICUS) [PDF]
Reproductive biology of Aspideretes gangeticus was studied between 1986 and 2001. Clutchsize averaged 17.9 eggs and ranged between six to thirty-fi ve eggs. Egg length averaged 30.6 mm,egg width averaged 30.22 mm, and egg weight averaged 16.85 g.

Autophagy regulates ovarian reserve, with Cathepsin B playing a critical role in aging. Inhibition of Cathepsin B increases follicle count, enhances IGF1R–AKT–mTOR signaling and improves mitochondrial function without compromising fertility. This conserved mechanism suggests potential therapeutic strategies to delay ovarian aging and sustain fertility,

Tracing GFP-labeled WJMSCs in vivo using a chronic salpingitis model: an animal experiment
Background The present study was conducted to evaluate the distribution of Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) and their repairing function on the oviduct. Methods WJMSCs were transfected with the LV3-GFP-PURO lentivirus.

Roles of the oviduct in mammalian fertilization [PDF]
The oviduct or Fallopian tube is the anatomical region where every new life begins in mammalian species. After a long journey, the spermatozoa meet the oocyte in the specific site of the oviduct named ampulla and fertilization takes place. The successful fertilization depends on several biological processes that occur in the oviduct some hours before ...
