TL;DR: A novel human nuclear pore protein is identified and characterized through its homology with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae nucleoporin scNup133, and it is demonstrated that hN up133 and hNup107 are localized on both sides of the NPC to which they are stably associated at interphase, remain associated as part of a NPC subcomplex during mitosis, and are targeted at early stages to the reforming nuclear envelope.

TL;DR: Beta nerve growth factor, previously described as the ovulation inducing factor in camelids is shown to be the major protein in alpaca and camel seminal plasma and also present in small amounts in bull, ram, and horse seminal plasma.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated for the first time the substantial differences between in vivo and in vitro oviduct EVs secretion/content and showed that in vitro-produced embryos were able to internalize in vivo EVs during culture with a functional effect in the embryo development.

TL;DR: This study provides a major insight into the sequential changes occurring in the sperm environment while gaining fertilizing capacity and could provide new information for the future identification of potential fertility markers.

TL;DR: Observations suggest that OCX-36 is a novel and specific chicken eggshell protein related to the superfamily of lipopolysaccharide-binding proteins/bactericidal permeability-increasing proteins and Plunc proteins and may participate in natural defense mechanisms that keep the egg free of pathogens.
