The oviduct is a key organ responsible for ultimate oocytes maturation, transport of gametes, sperm capacitation, fertilization, as well as early embryo development. Its innermost layer, oviductal epithelium, represents a highly dynamic structure which undergoes changes in response to different physiological and pathological processes.
