This study maps the expression of PAQR6 and PAQR8 in ruminant reproductive tissues using antibodies and qPCR, showing their localization and dynamic gene expression changes during pregnancy.

The paper identifies cell-type-specific expression patterns of classical and membrane progesterone receptors at the human maternal-fetal interface using single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data.

This study identifies maternal progesterone signaling through mPRδ as critical for establishing lifelong oral homeostasis via a hormone-lipid-microbiome axis.

This study shows that maternal progesterone and adipose mPRε regulate the embryonic nutritional state by affecting glucose provision and metabolic outcomes in offspring.

This study identifies HSF5 as a male germ cell-specific factor critical for meiotic prophase progression beyond pachytene under non-stress conditions.

This study shows that naive human pluripotent stem cells can recapitulate trophoblast development in vitro, producing cells that resemble human placental trophoblasts.
