Loss of pregnancy can occur at many different stages of gestation and for a variety of causes
but clearly produces a negative impact for reproductive and economic performances of dairy …

During the past 50 years, the fertility of high-producing lactating dairy cows has decreased,
associated with intensive selection for increased milk production. The physiological and …

Well-orchestrated maternal–fetal cross talk occurs via secreted ligands, interacting
receptors, and coupled intracellular pathways between the conceptus and endometrium and …

The objectives of this study were to characterize changes in transcriptome of preimplantation
conceptuses at the onset of elongation and associated changes in uterine histotroph …

Context: Identifying novel molecular markers for assessing endometrial receptivity is
necessary for understanding human implantation and may help in improving the clinical …

The aim of this study was to identify conceptus-derived proteins, in addition to IFNT, that may
facilitate pregnancy recognition in cattle. Analysis of the protein content of the uterine …

Although fragmented and sometimes inconsistent, the proof of a vital link between the
importance of the physiological status of the mother and her subsequent reproductive …

Uterine infection is associated with infertility in women and dairy cows, even after the
resolution of infection. However, the mechanisms causing this persistent infertility are …

The mammalian zygote, formed after a sperm fertilizes an egg, undergoes several rounds of
mitosis and morphogenesis to form the blastocyst. During the peri-implantation period, the …

In this review, mucosal immune defense mechanisms used to control infections in the bovine
genital tract (vestibule, vagina, cervix, uterus and oviduct) during the postpartum period are …
