2019
New publication: Differential transcriptome dynamics during the onset of conceptus elongation and between female and male porcine embryos
A better understanding of the transcriptomic changes in porcine preimplantation embryos.
New publication: Do ovarian steroid hormones control the resumption of embryonic growth following the period of diapause in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus)?
The second paper of our project on the “Regulation of Embryonic Diapause in the European roe deer” has been published in the journal "Reproductive Biology".
New publication: Uterine fluid proteome changes during diapause and resumption of embryo development in roe deer
The first paper of our project on the “Regulation of Embryonic Diapause in the European roe deer” has been published in the journal "Reproduction".
New publication: miRNA of bovine whole fresh milk samples failed to show suitability for early pregnancy diagnosis
Common pregnancy detection methods in dairy cattle have limits in sensitivity and timing. We aimed at finding new early pregnancy biomarkers in milk.
Diapause Conference, 2-6 June 2019, Monte Verita, Switzerland
Embryos, as small as the tip of a needle, enter a resting phase a few days after fertilization. A widespread developmental trait, diapause is found in around 130 mammalian species. The overall goal of the conference is to provide a 21st century perspective on the phenomenon of diapause.
