Pig transgenesis by piggyBac transposition in combination with somatic cell nuclear transfer
The production of animals by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is inefficient, with approximately 2 % of micromanipulated oocytes going to term and resulting in live births. However, it is the most commonly...

Co-expression of fat1 and fat2 in transgenic pigs promotes synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are essential for the development and health of mammals, such as humans and livestock. n-3 PUFAs must be supplied by diet due to the absence of a key gene, namel...

Efficient deletion of LoxP-flanked selectable marker genes from the genome of transgenic pigs by an engineered Cre recombinase
Genetically modified (GM) pigs hold great promises for pig genetic improvement, human health and life science. When GM pigs are produced, selectable marker genes (SMGs) are usually introduced into their genome...

Open AccessUterine luminal-derived extracellular vesicles: potential nanomaterials to improve embryo implantation
Most pregnancy losses worldwide are caused by implantation failure for which there is a lack of effective therapeutics. Extracellular vesicles are considered potential endogenous nanomedicines because of their...
