- This $300,000 project grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The objective is to determine the functional role of the progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) in regulating peri-implantation conceptus survival, development, placental formation, and pregnancy establishment in cattle. The research aims to: (1) evaluate the effects of...
- This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) aims to identify epigenetic modifications in the cattle placenta that are specifically from the sire or the dam, and determine how they influence gene expression during placental development. The overarching goal is to improve understanding of the complex biology of the placenta and how...
