Baylor College of Medicine Receives NIH Grant for In Vivo Analysis of Mammalian Fertilization
Baylor College of Medicine Receives a 2019 NIH Grant for $657,043 for In Vivo Analysis of Mammalian Fertilization. The principal investigator is Irina Larina. The program began in 2019 and ends in 2022. Below is a summary of the propose work. Estrous cycle, ovulation, fertilization, and pre-implantation pregnancy are fundamental reproductive processes of clinical importance. While research has shed light on the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating these events, much of these data are derived from static histological analysis, low-resolution visualizations, and studies of invertebrate models (e.g. sea urchin). Therefore, any conclusions regarding mammalian fertilization, which takes place ...
