Understanding regulators of folliculogenesis remains limited in the domestic dog (Canis familiaris), which challenges our ability to develop in vitro follicle culture systems for canid genome rescue efforts. Here, we ...

Simple Summary The family Canidae, composed of dog-like species such as wolves, foxes, and jackals, demonstrates a significant variety in reproductive biology. In general, female canids experience very long periods of ...

Development of techniques for the preservation and use of gonadal tissues are increasingly needed for the genetic management of the endangered African painted dog ( Lycaon pictus ). Here we evaluated two cryopreservation ...

The culture of ovarian follicles is an important tool for understanding the mechanisms controlling follicle development and differentiation of the oocyte. The benefit of recovering meiotically and developmentally competent ...

Canid reproduction is unique among other mammals in that females experience long and variable periods of ovarian inactivity. While the domestic dog exhibits a non-seasonal, largely sporadic monoestrus occurring once or ...

Understanding stage-specific requirements of mammalian folliculogenesis is limited in the domestic dog. The present study examined the effects of two potential regulators of dog follicle growth and survival in vitro, namely ...

The red wolf is a critically endangered canid, with ~250 and ~20 individuals in the ex situ and reintroduced wild populations, respectively. Assisted reproductive technologies such as sperm cryopreservation and in vitro ...
