Genomic Variants Associated With Oocyte and Embryo Production in Dairy Gir Cattle
Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The use of in vitro fertilization protocols associated with genomic selection increases genetic gain in dairy cattle. The aims of this study were to uncover genetic variants in a specific interval on BTA7 and to investigate their effects on the number of oocytes and embryos in dairy Gir.

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 2, March 2026.Probiotic supplementation for 8 weeks in women with PCOS who were candidates for IUI was associated with higher endometrial thickness, indicating a potential role in improving endometrial receptivity. ABSTRACT Introduction Evidence showed that microbial dysbiosis may lead to poor fertility outcomes. Today, therapy with probiotics, especially when using

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 3, March 2026.Maternal TCF12 ensures the competence of fertilisation by controlling the expression of Astl and the proper location of cortical granules. Furthermore, maternal TCF12 maintains the phosphatase activity of PP2A by regulating the expression of Arpp19. Oocyte‐specific deletion of Tcf12 leads to fertilisation defects as well as ZGA failure at the 2‐cell ...

A boundary element regularised Stokeslet method applied to cilia and flagella-driven flow [PDF]
, 2009 A boundary element implementation of the regularised Stokeslet method of Cortez is applied to cilia and flagella-driven flows in biology. Previously-published approaches implicitly combine the force discretisation and the numerical quadrature used to ...

Personalized Models of Biological Barriers and Their Diseases: Recent Progress with Organs‐On‐Chips
Advanced Biology, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.Buck and Bugter et al. explore the architectural diversity and physiological functions of human barrier systems and reveal how organ‐on‐chip platforms, particularly those integrating patient‐derived cells, are advancing barrier disease modeling. They highlight how emerging biological and technological advances can be used to bridge the gap between ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Obligatory brood parasitism in the Lake Tanganyika cuckoo catfish requires rapid reproductive readiness to exploit unpredictable host spawning. Our experiments showed that males are almost continuously ready to reproduce, while females ovulate about once a week, with social interactions enhancing gamete maturation in both sexes.

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Based on the integrated analysis of follicular fluid metabolites and microbial communities in patients with PCOS, this study reveals significant dysregulation in the follicular microenvironment. Key metabolites including D‐glucose and 25‐hydroxycholesterol show marked alterations, while microbial communities such as Alicyclobacillus and Terrimonas ...
