The spermatozoon is a highly specialised cell that travels along the female reproductive tract to deliver its genetic information into the oocyte. During this journey, the interaction with the varying ...
The conservation of species relies on a deep knowledge of biology of the species concerned, as well as on the identification of reproductively isolated units, which are genetically different from one ...
This thesis is about challenges that currently concern in vitro production (IVP), sex determination procedures and sex-related survival of in vitro-produced porcine embryos. Specifically, the current ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the existence of demyelinated areas in the central nervous system, infiltration of inflammatory ...
In the present Thesis, we observed that vitrifying-warming porcine embryos had detrimental effects. Indeed, vitrification and warming were seen to reduce developmental ability and quality of in vitro ...
The blue and red shrimp, Aristeus antennatus, is a commercially important crustacean in the Western Mediterranean Sea and has been listed as a priority species for fishery management. In this thesis, ...
Aquaporins (AQPs) are proteins involved in the transport of water and some other solutes across plasma membranes. The fact that mammalian spermatozoa are highly permeable to water suggests the presence ...
For many years, reproductive outcomes were considered as being solely determined by the genome of oocytes and sperm. Yet, in the last decades, many other female and male factors have also been found to ...
The overuse of antibiotics has led to the selection of resistant strains. This thesis investigated the occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic microbial communities influenced by ...
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an entity that groups different clinical forms of hereditable cardiac diseases that are associated to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The main ...
