Shugoshin-like protein 2 (Sgol2) is involved in a variety of cell cycle process during the first stage of meiotic division.

Optogenetics is a non-invasive way to study cAMP signaling in sperm cells, which is able to control sperm motility and fertilization.

A fibrillin-related protein, FBN-1, is a key component of the apical extracellular matrix and prevents epidermal cell deformation by biomechanical forces during morphogenesis of the C. elegans embryo.

Cyclic estrogen signaling in oviduct epithelial cells suppresses oviduct luminal protease activity to allow survival and development of preimplantation embryos

Hepsin is the first protease identified to modulate specific cleavage and secretion of a Zona Pellucida domain protein, uromodulin.

The maternally provided histone demethylase LSD1/KDM1A has an instrumental role at the beginning of life, shaping the histone methylation landscape and the transcriptional repertoire of the early mouse embryo.

Epigenetic reprogramming by LSD1/KDM1A acts at fertilization in mice to enable embryogenesis and prevent behavioural abnormalities.

A method for measuring p300 chromatin occupancy in specific lineages of mouse tissues was used to map endothelial enhancers and to identify previously unrecognized angiogenesis-related sequence motifs.

Reproductive fluids help the correct establishment of some epigenetic marks and gene expression in preimplantation pig embryos.

A new component, CatSper zeta, is required for continuous alignment of the calcium channel along the sperm's tail and is crucial for normal sperm swimming behavior and fertility.
