Analysis of ciliary beat frequency and ovum transport ability in the mouse oviduct
7 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
The oviduct is important in reproduction where fertilization occurs, and the fertilized eggs are conveyed to the uterus. Multi-ciliated cells of the oviductal epithelium and muscle contractions are believed to generate this unidirectional flow. Although there are many studies in human oviducts, there are few reports on mouse oviductal ciliary movements where we can dissect underlying genetic programs. To study...
