Factors Affecting Mammalian Embryo Culture: A Detailed Review
Abstract: Human IVF has made remarkable progress, but optimizing the in vitro environment remains essential and crucial for supporting embryo development and improving overall clinical outcomes in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Even with advances in complex culture media, incubator design, and laboratory workflows, embryos grown outside the body are still exposed to chemical and physical stressors that can significantly affect their developmental potential. In this review, we discuss key chemical stressors, …

Histological Effects of the Antibiotic Gentamicin on the Ovarian Tissue of Female White Laboratory Rats
Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the histological alterations induced by Gentamicin in the ovarian tissue of white laboratory rats. A total of 12 adult female rats were used and randomly divided into two groups, with each group consisting of six animals. The experimental group received Gentamicin at a dose of 120 mg/kg body weight administered as an injection once daily, while the control group received an equivalent volume of normal …

Climate-Induced Infertility in Dairy Cows: Pathways, Challenges, and Solutions for Sustainable Dairy Development
Abstract: Climate change has emerged as a significant challenge to dairy production, with profound implications for reproductive performance in dairy cows. The interplay of rising temperatures, fluctuating rainfall patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events disrupts key physiological, nutritional, and behavioral processes essential for fertility. Heat stress alters hormonal balance, impairs oocyte and embryo quality, reduces estrus expression, and affects pregnancy outcomes. Concurrently, climate-induced nutritional deficits, immune suppression, and increased …
