Effects of endometrial embryokines on the preimplantation bovine embryo to create a gene expression signature consistent with a high competence phenotype†.

Abstract excerpt

Optimal embryonic development depends upon cell-signaling molecules released by the maternal reproductive tract called embryokines. The identity of specific embryokines that enhance the competence of the embryo for sustained survival is largely lacking. The current objective was to evaluate the effects of three putative embryokines in cattle on embryonic development to the blastocyst stage. The molecules tested...
