Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Follicle Stimulating Hormone in Cattle Breeding: Fundamentals, Innovations, and Scope

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
FSH is crucial in cattle reproduction, with exogenous administration enhancing breeding and embryo production. Recombinant FSH offers advantages over pituitary‐extracted variants, including fewer injections, reduced stress, and safer production. These innovations improve breeding efficiency, optimize reproductive outcomes, and contribute to sustainable

Poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) microsphere loaded dissolving microneedles for sustained and coordinated transdermal delivery of desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
PLGA‐based sustained‐release microneedles were developed for the delivery of desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol. The system enabled coordinated release of both drugs, suggesting its potential to improve dosing convenience as a long‐acting contraceptive platform.

Expression of Relaxin Family Peptide Receptors 1 and 3 in the Ovarian Follicle of Japanese Quail

The Journal of Poultry Science
In our previous studies, we demonstrated that the primary source of relaxin 3 (RLN3) in Japanese quail is ovarian granulosa cells. Although several relaxin family peptide (RXFP) receptors have been sequenced, the intricacies of these receptors in avian ...

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

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
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.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Rodent Models of Non-classical Progesterone Action Regulating Ovulation

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017
It is becoming clear that steroid hormones act not only by binding to nuclear receptors that associate with specific response elements in the nucleus but also by binding to receptors on the cell membrane. In this newly discovered manner, steroid hormones

Oogenesis and germinal bed morphology of the brown anole (A. sagrei)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The brown anole is a model species of the genus Anolis, a squamate (encompassing lizards and snakes) group widely studied in evolutionary, behavioral, and developmental biology. Full genome annotation, the establishment of gene editing techniques, and comprehensive description of reproductive tract morphology and embryogenesis in ...
