Reproductive success of Florida Scrub Jay (<i>Aphelocoma coerulescens</i>) pairs without helpers correlates with habitat variables and female breeding experience Open
Extensive research has focused on effects of non‐breeding helpers on the reproductive success of cooperatively breeding birds, yet in the cooperatively breeding Florida Scrub Jay Aphelocoma coerulescens about half of breeding pairs do not …

Dynamic Regulation of HIF1α and Oxygen-Sensing Factors in Cyclic Bovine Corpus Luteum and During LPS Challenge Open
Understanding the corpus luteum (CL) and its role in cattle reproduction is crucial, particularly as it is a progesterone source for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. Reduced oxygen levels significantly impact these processes…

Steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1; <i>Nr5a1</i> ) regulates the formation of the ovarian reserve Open
The ovarian follicle reserve, formed pre- or perinatally, comprises all oocytes for lifetime reproduction. Depletion of this reserve results in infertility. Steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1; Nr5a1 ) and liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1; Nr5a2 )…

Steroidogenic Factor 1 Regulation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian Axis of Adult Female Mice Open
The orphan nuclear receptor steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1 or NR5A1) is an indispensable regulator of adrenal and gonadal formation, playing roles in sex determination, hypothalamic development, and pituitary function. This study aimed to id…

Resiliency of equid H19 imprint to somatic cell reprogramming by oocyte nuclear transfer and genetically induced pluripotency† Open
Cell reprogramming by somatic cell nuclear transfer and in induced pluripotent stem cells is associated with epigenetic modifications that are often incompatible with embryonic development and differentiation. For instance, aberrant DNA me…

Sperm-borne glutathione-S-transferase omega 2 accelerates the nuclear decondensation of spermatozoa during fertilization in mice† Open
The postacrosomal sheath (PAS) of the perinuclear theca (PT) is the first compartment of the sperm head to solubilize into the ooplasm upon sperm-oocyte fusion, implicating its constituents in zygotic development. This study investigates t…

Development of the central nervous system in equine twin fetuses derived by somatic cell nuclear transfer Open
Because of the growing importance of horses in leisure and several sports, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is being used more frequently for cloning animals for performance and reproductive purposes. However, because of the need to pe…

Equine Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells have a Reduced Tendon Differentiation Capacity Compared to Embryonic Stem Cells Open
Tendon injuries occur commonly in horses and their repair through scar tissue formation predisposes horses to a high rate of re-injury. Pluripotent stem cells may provide a cell replacement therapy to improve tendon tissue regeneration and…
