Pregnancy failure in the first trimester of cows significantly impacts the efficiency of the dairy industry. As a type I interferon exclusively to ruminants, IFN-τ plays a key role in maternal recognition and immune tolerance of fetuses. Macrophages are the most common immune cells within the ruminant endometrium.

We aimed to explore the therapeutic efficacy of miR-7704-modified extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs) for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. In vitro experiments demonstrated the successful transfection of miR-7704 into HUCMSCs and the isolation of EVs from these cells. In vivo experiments used an OA mouse model to assess the effects of the injection of miR-7704-modified EVs intra-articularly.

Research Question: Does metformin reverse endometriosis-associated infertility?
Design: Endometriosis was induced by transplanting uterus fragments from B6CBAF1 mice into recipients of the same strain. The mice were divided into groups: endometriosis (End, n = 24), sham-operated (Sham, n = 12), endometriosis with metformin (0.5mg/ml) orally administered for 3 months (EndMet, n = 21) and sham-operated metformin-treated (ShamMet, n = 16).

Background: Night shift work during pregnancy has been associated with differential DNA methylation in placental tissue, but no studies have explored this association in cord blood. We aimed to examine associations of maternal night shift work with cord blood DNA methylation.
Methods: A total of 4487 mother-newborn pairs from 7 studies were included.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have gained interest as drug delivery carriers due to their efficient cellular internalization and increased therapeutic effect of the loaded drug, with minimal side effects. Although recently several studies have shown the possibility to administer SLNs during pregnancy to vehicle mRNA to the placenta, data about the effect of premating exposure to SLNs on pregnancy outcome are scant. Considering that assumption of drug-delivering nanocarriers in reproductive age may potentially affect women's reproductive health, the aim of the present study was to evaluate whether repeated oral administration of SLNs to female mice prior to mating would influence key pregnancy outcomes.
