Somatic cells regulation of maternal mRNA translation in mammalian oocytes (MateRNA)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The final phase of oocyte differentiation, fertilization and early embryo development occur in absence of transcription, thus cell cycle progression and genome reprogramming rely on translation of stored mRNAs, until the activation of embryo genome. Objective of the present study is to analyze the pathways that regulate translation during oocyte-to-embryo transition. We propose the follicular cell ...

Role of Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component-1 in oogenesis and mammalian fertility (Pro-Ovum)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Infertility is a major problem that affects domestic mammals and declining fertility represents an obstacle in maintaining profitability of dairy farms in Europe and worldwide. Since declining fertility of cattle is mainly due to the poor quality of the oocytes, defining the factors and mechanisms that affect oocyte quality, is essential for improving female fertility. In particular, basic knowled ...
