Cell reprogramming has been well described in mouse and human cells. The expression of specific microRNAs has demonstrated to be essential for pluripotent maintenance and cell differentiation, but not much information is ...

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a powerful tool, but its efficiency remains low. The use of less differentiated donor cells or the embryo aggregation (EA) strategy improves the SCNT rates in several species. It ...

Some European cattle breeds, such as Charolais and Maine Anjou, have natural mutations in the myostatin gene (MSTN) that inhibit its expression and result in an increase in muscle mass and protein content. An innovative ...
