The physiological and clinical importance of motile cilia in reproduction is well recognized, however, the specific role they play in transport through the oviduct and how ciliopathies lead to subfertility and infertility is still unclear. The contribution of cilia beating, fluid flow, and smooth muscle contraction to overall progressive transport within the oviduct remains under debate. Therefore, we investigated the role of cilia in the oviduct transport of preimplantation eggs and embryos using a combination of genetic and advanced imaging approaches.

These are attributed to the post-fracture flexion and extension movements, the primary damage to the articular cartilage, and the thin soft tissue coverage over the knee.

So, a new mucosal vaccination route is needed where the vaccine will produce antibodies in the systemic circulation as well as in the mucosa of many systems.

Background And Study Aims: Systemic autoinflammatory diseases are characterized by recurrent or chronic inflammation, and monogenic forms are increasingly defined. However, a group of patients without genetic diagnosis is called the syndrome of undifferentiated recurrent fever (SURF). This study analyzed the clinical and endoscopic features of patients with SURF presenting with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms.
