Effect of microfluidic and density gradient techniques to select frozen-thawed epididymal sperm from Bighorn rams

open access: yesTheriogenology Wild
Gamete preservation of wild species is a priority in conservation programs. However, field techniques to recover sperm from deceased animals may impair its final quality.The cryopreservation process also has its challenges, and the minimal required ...

Sperm Competition and the Function of Masturbation in Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata)

open access: yes, 2001
Male masturbation or sexual-auto stimulation is well documented in humans. This study dealt with the occurrence of masturbation in non-human primates in general, and in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) in particular, from the perspective of ...

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

open access: yesAnimal 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 ...

Timing associated with oviductal sperm storage and release after artificial insemination in domestic hens

open access: yes, 2014
Female birds store sperm in sperm storage tubules (SSTs) in the uterovaginal junction of their reproductive tract for days or weeks (depending on species) before fertilization.

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

open access: yesAnimal 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

The Role of IgM Anti‐acetylated Protein Antibodies and B Cells in the Origin of Antimodified Protein Autoimmunity in Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by anti‐modified protein antibodies (AMPAs), including anti‐citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), anti‐carbamylated protein antibodies (anti‐CarP), and anti‐acetylated protein antibodies (AAPA). In contrast to other AMPAs, AAPA IgM is found in healthy individuals, raising questions about its role ...

Modern competency‐based teaching of human sexual development

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Embryology is an integral part of anatomy and a key subject in basic medical education. The development of the sexual tract, which is closely associated with the formation of the urinary tract and the organs of continence, is particularly complex and relevant for many medical disciplines.

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

open access: yesBiological 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.
