Oxygen levels affect oviduct epithelium functions in air–liquid interface culture
Key reproductive events such as fertilization and early embryonic development occur in the lumen of the oviduct. Since investigating these processes...

The role of oviduct-specific glycoprotein (OVGP1) in modulating biological functions of gametes and embryos
Diverse lines of evidence indicate that the mammalian oviduct makes important contributions to the complex process of reproduction other than being...

The Interplay Between Oviduct-Derived Exosomes and Cumulus-Oocyte Complexes
As the mammalian oviduct is the place where the fertilization and preimplantation embryo development occur, the oviduct epithelial cells create a...

Expression of IL-23 in gilt endometrium and oviduct after insemination with seminal plasma, spermatozoa or semen extender
ObjectiveInsemination with spermatozoa, seminal plasma and extender, cause a rapid inflammatory response in pig endometrium, characterized by an...

Oviduct as a sensor of embryo quality: deciphering the extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated embryo-maternal dialogue
AbstractEmbryo-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) may play a role in mediating the embryo-maternal dialogue at the oviduct, potentially carrying...

Pathogenicity comparison between QX-type and Mass-type infectious bronchitis virus to different segments of the oviducts in laying phase
BackgroundThe QX-type infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) has become the predominant genotype worldwide in recent years and has caused serious economic...

Uterine microbial communities and their potential role in the regulation of epithelium cell cycle and apoptosis in aged hens
BackgroundAlterations of the uterine microbiome are closely associated with various intrauterine diseases and physiological conditions, which are...

Histological confinement of transglutaminase-mediated nit sheath crosslinking is essential for proper oviposition and egg coating in the human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis
BackgroundHead louse females secrete liquid gel, which is mainly composed of the louse nit sheath protein 1 (LNSP1) and LNSP2, when they lay eggs....

Isolation of Fallopian Tube Epithelium for Assessment of Cilia Beating Frequency (CBF)
The fallopian tube epithelium (FTE) plays a critical role in reproduction and the genesis of ovarian cancer. The FTE columnar cells present with...

Assessment of Escherichia coli-derived Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenic Protein-2 on Fertilization and Early Embryonic Development in Rats
ObjectiveBone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) impacts fertility in women by affecting the menstrual cycle and embryonic development. We aimed to...

Function of ZP
The main function of mammalian ZP is to maintain growing oocytes in the ovary and to facilitate their maturation. After ovulation, ZP plays several...

From Mouse to Human: New Aspects of Sperm Transport and Fertilization Using Cutting-Edge Technologies
Successful fertilization only occurs if sperm are able to reach the oviduct and to survive in the female genital tract till ovulation takes place....

Transcriptome profiling of male and female Ascaris lumbricoides reproductive tissues
BackgroundAscaris lumbricoides causes human ascariasis, the most prevalent helminth disease, infecting approximately 1 billion individuals globally....

Extracellular Vesicles Mediate the Embryonic-Maternal Paracrine Communication
In the last decade, tremendous works have shown the essential involvement of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in paracrine cellular signaling in both...

Myosalpinx Contractions Are Essential for Egg Transport Along the Oviduct and Are Disrupted in Reproductive Tract Diseases
Oviducts (also called fallopian tubes) are smooth muscle-lined tubular organs that at one end extend in a trumpet bell-like fashion to surround the...

Characterization of nit sheath protein functions and transglutaminase-mediated cross-linking in the human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis
BackgroundHead louse females secrete liquid glue during oviposition, which is solidified to form the nit sheath over the egg. Recently, two...

Anatomical changes of Tenebrio molitor and Tribolium castaneum during complete metamorphosis
In holometabolous insects, extensive reorganisation of tissues and cells occurs at the pupal stage. The remodelling of the external exoskeleton and...
