[ 1 ] - Drug-loaded electrospun nanofibrous sheets as barriers against postsurgical adhesions in mice model

Objectives: Postsurgical adhesion is one of the common complications after surgery. Some anti-adhesion barriers are commercially available which are not customary used by physicians as much as expected because of ineffectiveness. Recently, nanofibers have been introduced as anti-adhesion barriers with t...

[ 2 ] - Studying of the Expression of BAX and BCL-2 Genes in Men with Sperm DNA Fragmentation Based on DFI and Comet Assay

Introduction: The amount of expression of BAX and BCL-2 genes in infertile men’s sperm as well as its association with sperm parameters and DNA fragmentation index is an issue which has not been studied yet. In this research, it is assumed that up-regulation of BAX and downregulation of BCL-2 are directly associated with sperm DNA fragmentation. Methods: After obtaining semen samples from the ...

[ 3 ] - Interfering Effects of In Vitro Fertilization and Vitrification on Expression of Gtl2 and Dlk1 in Mouse Blastocysts

Background: Embryo vitrification is a key instrument in assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). However, thereis increasing concern that vitrification adversely affects embryo development. This study intends to assess the effectof vitrification on developmental competence, in addition to expressions of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene traplocus 2 (Gtl2) and its reciprocal ...

[ 4 ] - Melatonin Improves The Developmental Competence of Goat Oocytes

Objective DNA methylation is one the epigenetic mechanisms, which is critically involved in gene expression. This phenomenon is mediated by DNA methyl-transferases and is affected by environmental stress, including in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes. Melatonin, as an antioxidant, may theoretically be involved in epigenetic regulation via reductions of reactive oxygen species. This study was p...
