© 2017 Society for Reproduction and Fertility. Oviduct fluid is the microenvironment that supports early reproductive processes including fertilisation, embryo cleavage and genome activation. However, the composition and regulation of this critical e... Read More about Modelling aspects of oviduct fluid formation in vitro.

Sexually dimorphic gene expression in bovine conceptuses at the initiation of implantation (2016)
Journal Article
Forde, N., Maillo, V., O'Gaora, P., Simintiras, C. A., Sturmey, R. G., Ealy, A. D., Spencer, T. E., Gutierrez-Adan, A., Rizos, D., & Lonergan, P. (2016). Sexually dimorphic gene expression in bovine conceptuses at the initiation of implantation. Biology of Reproduction, 95(4), Article ARTN 92. https://doi.org/10.1095/biolreprod.116.139857

In cattle, maternal recognition of pregnancy occurs on Day 16 via secretion of interferon tau (IFNT) by the conceptus. The endometrium can distinguish between embryos with different developmental competencies. In eutherian mammals, X-chromosome inact...

Biological optimisation, the Goldilocks principle, and how much is lagom in the preimplantation embryo (2016)
Journal Article
Leese, H. J., Guérif, F., Allgar, V., Brison, D. R., Lundin, K., & Sturmey, R. G. (2016). Biological optimisation, the Goldilocks principle, and how much is lagom in the preimplantation embryo. Molecular Reproduction and Development, 83(9), 748-754. https://doi.org/10.1002/mrd.22684

The quiet embryo hypothesis postulates that early embryo viability is associated with a relatively low metabolism (Leese. 2002. BioEssays 24: 845-849). This proposal is re-visited here using retrospective and prospective data on the metabolic activit...

Can the menopause really be reversed? (2016)
Newspaper / Magazine
Sturmey, R. Can the menopause really be reversed?

Scientists in Greece claimed recently to have “reversed the menopause”. They did this by injecting blood plasma that contains platelets into the ovaries of eight women who had not menstruated for around five months in order to stimulate ovarian regen...

Expression and function of transient receptor potential channels in the female bovine reproductive tract (2016)
Journal Article
Ghavideldarestani, M., Atkin, S. L., Leese, H. J., & Sturmey, R. G. (2016). Expression and function of transient receptor potential channels in the female bovine reproductive tract. Theriogenology, 86(2), 551-561. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2016.02.005

© 2016 Elsevier Inc. The epithelium lining the oviduct is critical for early reproductive events, many of which are mediated via intracellular calcium ions. Despite this, little is known about the regulation of calcium homeostasis in the oviductal ep...
