Association of a missense mutation in the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor gene (LHCGR) with superovulation traits in Chinese Holstein heifers

open access: yesJournal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2012
Background Upon binding luteinizing hormone in the ovary, the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) is necessary for follicular maturation and ovulation, as well as luteal function.

Targeting Wnt3a and Loxl2 Synergistically Induces Ferroptosis in Liver Cancer Stem Cells and Suppresses Tumorigenesis

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Using bioinformatic analysis, LCSC models, and transgenic mice, we demonstrate that co‐inhibition of Wnt3a and Loxl2 potently triggers ferroptosis and inhibits orthotopic liver tumorigenesis. The enhanced antitumor effect upon dual targeting, mediated through ZEB1 upregulation, highlights a promising combinatory approach against HCC.

Transcription Factor TCF12‐Mediated Maternal Gene Expressions in Mouse Oocyte Are Prerequisites of Successful Fertilisation and Zygotic Genome Activation

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
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 ...

Recipient maternal genotypes improved the litter size components of a paternal line involved in a MOET programme in rabbits

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2022
An essential factor in the success of multiple ovulation and embryo transfer programmes (MOET) in any species is the selection of the recipient females. In rabbit there is a notable lack of studies on the effects of recipient genotype on postnatal growth.

hnRNPU Safeguards Oocyte Development and Female Fertility via Regulation of Alternative Splicing

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 2, 31 January 2026.
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U (hnRNPU) is essential for oocyte development and female fertility. Oocyte‐specific deletion of Hnrnpu leads to follicular arrest, impaired meiotic maturation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and infertility.

Intravaginal Progesterone Application as an Efficient and Reproducible Tool for Synchronizing the Mouse Estrous Cycle

open access: yesReproductive Medicine and Biology, Volume 25, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose The synchronization of the estrous cycle is crucial for optimizing reproductive procedures and improving experimental consistency in female mice. Traditional progesterone (P4) administration methods, such as oral or subcutaneous routes, have limitations including invasiveness and variable efficacy.

Effect of Repeated Administration of hCG on Ovarian Response in PMSG-superovulated Ouled Djellal Ewes (Algeria) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of repeated administration of hCG on ovarian response in PMSG-superovulated ewes. Intravaginal pessaries containing 40 mg fluorogestone acetate (FGA) were inserted in all ewes (n=9) and remained in ...
