Dev Cell
. 2022 Jan;
57(2):197-211.e3.
PMID: 35030327
During female meiosis I (MI), spindle positioning must be tightly regulated to ensure the fidelity of the first asymmetric division and faithful chromosome segregation. Although the role of F-actin in...

PMID: 33876774
Suboptimal uterine fluid (UF) composition can lead to pregnancy loss and likely contributes to offspring susceptibility to chronic adult-onset disorders. However, our understanding of the biochemical composition and mechanisms underpinning...

PMID: 32946790
A mammalian embryo experiences the first cell segregation at the blastocyst stage, in which cells giving form to the embryo are sorted into two lineages; trophectoderm (TE) and inner cell...

Balboula A, Schindler K, Kotani T, Kawahara M, Takahashi M
Mol Hum Reprod
. 2020 Jul;
26(9):689-701.
PMID: 32634244
As the age of child-bearing increases and correlates with infertility, cryopreservation of female gametes is becoming common-place in ART. However, the developmental competence of vitrified oocytes has remained low. The...

Reproduction
. 2020 Apr;
159(6):757-766.
PMID: 32224503
Improving the quality and the developmental competence of in vitro produced (IVP) embryos is an indispensable goal for assisted reproductive technology. Autophagy is a major protective mechanism for intracellular degradation...

J Dairy Sci
. 2018 Jun;
101(9):8396-8400.
PMID: 29935833
In ruminants, IFN-tau (IFNT) is a pregnancy recognition signal secreted by the embryonic trophectoderm before implantation, and it induces the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISG) in the uterine endometrium and...

PMID: 28575288
During oocyte meiotic maturation, Aurora kinase C (AURKC) is required to accomplish many critical functions including destabilizing erroneous kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT)attachments and regulating bipolar spindle assembly. How localized activity of AURKC...

PMID: 28239027
Interferon tau (IFN-τ) is a ruminant-specific type I IFN secreted by a conceptus before its attachment to the uterus. IFN-τ induces the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) via the type...

PMID: 27562071
Meiotic oocytes lack classic centrosomes and, therefore, bipolar spindle assembly depends on clustering of acentriolar microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) into two poles. However, the molecular mechanism regulating MTOC assembly into two...
