Infertility is a major problem in farm animals, which has a negative economic effect on farm
industries. Infertility can be defined as the inability of animals to achieve a successful …

Cell–cell adhesion molecules have critically important roles in the early events of
reproduction including gamete transport, sperm–oocyte interaction, embryonic development …

At implantation the endometrium undergoes modifications necessary for its physical
interactions with the trophoblast as well as the development of the conceptus. We aim to …

The aims of this study were to 1) identify the earliest transcriptional response of the bovine
endometrium to the presence of the conceptus (using RNAseq), 2) investigate if these genes …

Successful establishment and maintenance of pregnancy can be attained only through
optimum conceptus-maternal cross talk. Despite significant progress in our understanding of …

Infertility and subfertility are important and pervasive reproductive problems in both domestic
animals and humans. The majority of embryonic loss occurs during the first three weeks of …

Simple Summary In pursuit of a consistent diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of uterine
diseases in dairy cattle, researchers have focused their efforts on identifying bacteria …

For a pregnancy to be established, initial apposition and adhesion of the blastocyst to
maternal endometrium must occur in a coordinated manner; however, a key factor (s) that …

Integrins are heterodimeric glycoproteins involved in cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix
adhesion and signal transduction. We evaluated the distribution and the putative role of …

Osteopontin (OPN) is a component of the extracellular matrix that interacts with cell surface
receptors, including integrins, to mediate cell adhesion, migration, differentiation, survival …
