Mild hypothermia promotes the viability of in vitro-produced bovine blastocysts and their transcriptional expression of the cold-inducible transcription factor Rbm3 during in vitro culture

In this study, we evaluated the effects of holding in vitro-produced bovine blastocysts under mild hypothermia (33°C or 35°C), by examining viability and hatching rates of day 7 blastocysts (day 0: in vitro fertilization) cultured for 6 days and transcriptional expression of cold-inducible transcrip...
