The proliferation and migration of porcine trophectoderm (pTr) cells are crucial processes during the early stages of embryo implantation in sows. The effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) and chlorogenic acid (CGA), a plant-derived compound, on pTr cells ...
Analysis of testis histology is fundamental to the study of male fertility, but it is a slow task with a high skill threshold. Here, we describe new neural network models for the automated classification of cell types and tubule stages from whole-sli...
Economic losses in cattle farms are frequently associated with failed pregnancies. Some studies found that the transcriptomic profiles of blood and endometrial tissues in cattle with varying pregnancy outcomes display discrepancies even before artifi...
The objective was to identify a set of genes whose transcript abundance is predictive of a cow's ability to become pregnant following artificial insemination. Endometrial epithelial cells from the uterine body were collected for RNA sequencing using ...
Time-lapse microscopy for embryos is a non-invasive technology used to characterize early embryo development. This study employs time-lapse microscopy and machine learning to elucidate changes in embryonic growth kinetics with maternal aging. We anal...
Cancer survival rates in prepubertal girls and young women have risen in recent decades due to increasingly efficient treatments. However, many such treatments are gonadotoxic, causing premature ovarian insufficiency, loss of fertility, and ovarian e...
The ability to accurately monitor alterations in sperm motility is paramount to understanding multiple genetic and biochemical perturbations impacting normal fertilization. Computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) of human sperm typically reports motile ...
