However, reconciling the demands for imaging on a broad scale with the precision of high-resolution volumetric microscopy has been a persistent challenge. In this study, we introduce Bessel beam optical coherence microscopy with an extended focus to capture the full cortical vascular hierarchy in mice over 1000 × 1000 × 360 μm<sup>3</sup> field-of-view at capillary level resolution. The post-processing pipeline leverages a supervised deep learning approach for precise 3D segmentation of high-resolution angiograms, hence permitting reliable examination of microvascular structures at multiple spatial scales. Coupled with high-sensitivity Doppler optical coherence tomography, our method enables the computation of both axial and transverse blood velocity components as well as vessel-specific blood flow direction, facilitating a detailed assessment of morpho-functional characteristics across all vessel dimensions. Through graph-based analysis, we deliver insights into vascular connectivity, all the way from individual capillaries to broader network interactions, a task traditionally challenging for in vivo studies.

This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of the pregnancy defect and develop a practical rescue strategy.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Compared with those in the control group, gilts that underwent ovarian stimulation showed a decrease in pregnancy rate, farrowing rate, and total number of piglets born.

Furthermore, we found that high levels of E<sub>2</sub> impair uterine receptivity, as shown by the overproliferation of endometrial epithelial cells. In vitro mechanistic studies demonstrated that high levels of E<sub>2</sub> hyperactivate FGF-FGFR-ERK signaling cascade in the uterine endometrium, and in turn induces overproliferation of endometrial epithelial cells. Of note, N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) supplementation effectively inhibits ERK hyperphosphorylation and ameliorates endometrial epithelial overproliferation.
