An engineered antimicrobial peptide Z-FV7 demonstrates bactericidal efficacy against multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli in a murine model of endometritis
doi:10.1186/s13567-025-01593-x ·PMID:40713896

Endometritis is a common reproductive disorder in dairy cows, with antibiotics being the primary treatment option. However, the overuse of antibiotics has contributed to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial peptide…

Anti-inflammatory effects of the prostaglandin D2/prostaglandin DP1 receptor and lipocalin-type prostaglandin D2 synthase/prostaglandin D2 pathways in bacteria-induced bovine endometrial tissue.
doi:10.1186/s13567-022-01100-6 ·PMID:36435808

Dairy cows often develop different degrees of endometritis after calving and this is attributed to pathogenic bacterial infections such as by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Infection of the bovine endometrium causes tissue dama…

Progress and challenges in developing organoids in farm animal species for the study of reproduction and their applications to reproductive biotechnologies.
doi:10.1186/s13567-020-00891-w ·PMID:33691745

Within the past decades, major progress has been accomplished in isolating germ/stem/pluripotent cells, in refining culture medium and conditions and in establishing 3-dimensional culture systems, towards developing organoids for organs inv…

Oestrous cycle-dependent equine uterine immune response to induced infectious endometritis.
doi:10.1186/s13567-016-0398-x ·PMID:27825391

Infectious endometritis is a major cause of reduced pregnancy rates in horses. The objectives of this study were to establish a timeline of the innate immune response in the uterus of healthy horses and to investigate the oestrous cycle eff…
