Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their cargo microRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of embryo development to the blastocyst stage and beyond. Before implantation can take place, hatching of ...

Amphibian embryos exhibit remarkable hatching plasticity, enabling them to adjust the timing of hatching in response to environmental cues, particularly those signalling predation risk. This adaptive ...

Researchers have developed a method for culturing fertilized chick eggs without their shells. The eggs were placed in an artificial culture vessel made of transparent film, allowing for real-time ...

"Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) has emerged as a powerful tool in assisted reproductive technology, offering the potential to enhance the chances of successful embryo ...

Avian incubation behaviour is a critical component of reproductive success, shaping embryonic development, offspring viability and subsequent fitness. Temperature acts as a pivotal factor during ...
