Development of a 3D horse oviduct: The solution for equine in vitro fertilization?

Since equine fertilization takes place in the oviduct, mimicking the oviductal environment is a logical approach to induce sperm capacitation and to achieve fertilization in vitro. We aim to advance further on an equine 3D cell culture system in which oviduct epithelial cell differentiation is re-established to mimic more closely the physiological environment of the oviduct.
