Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) have been widely used as feeder cells in embryonic stem cell cultures because they can mimic the embryonic microenvironment. Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFGE8) is expressed during mouse gonadal development, 10.5-13.

Primary cilia play a pivotal role in cellular signaling and development and disruptions in ciliary form and/or function leads to human ciliopathies. Here, we examine the role of , a key component of the intraflagellar transport-A complex, in mouse forebrain development using a null allele. Our findings reveal significant microcephaly in homozygous mutants is caused by disrupted neural progenitor proliferation and differentiation.

The implantation of the mouse blastocyst initiates a complex sequence of tissue remodeling and cell differentiation events required for morphogenesis, during which the extraembryonic primitive endoderm transitions into the visceral endoderm. Through single-cell RNA sequencing of embryos at embryonic day 5.0, shortly after implantation, we reveal that this transition is driven by dynamic signaling activities, notably the upregulation of BMP signaling and a transient increase in Sox7 expression.

Background: In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) are widely used in reproductive biology. Despite the transfer of high-quality blastocysts, the implantation rate of IVF-derived blastocysts remains low after ET.

Methods: This article provides a comprehensive review of current research on embryo implantation regulators and their application to improve the implantation potential of IVF-derived blastocysts.

Background: Asthma is a prevalent respiratory disease, and its management remains largely unsatisfactory. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to be efficacious in reducing airway inflammation in experimental allergic diseases, representing a potential alternative treatment for asthma. Migrasomes are recently identified extracellular vesicles (EVs) generated in migrating cells and facilitate intercellular communication.
