The Vietnamese swine as a translational model of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast
The flow diagram outlines the chemical induction of breast tumors through a single intraperitoneal dose of MNU. Tumor development was assessed using ultrasound and clinical examination. After 14 weeks, mammary tissue was collected and histologically analyzed to evaluate structural similarities between sows and humans, the carcinogenic potential of MNU,

The roles of sex hormones in the pathophysiology of age‐related sarcopenia and frailty
Background Sarcopenia is an age‐related condition characterized by a progressive and systemic decline in skeletal muscle mass, quality, and strength. The incidence of sarcopenia contains sex‐specific aspects, indicating the contribution of sex hormones ...

Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) onset risk factors include Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) indices (including host response), lower serum 25‐vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels, low sun exposure, and HLA‐DRB1*1501. The underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here, we examined mediation through differential DNA methylation (DNAm) to better understand possible ...

Quality of life effects of androgen deprivation therapy in a prostate cancer cohort in New Zealand: Can we minimize effects using a stratification based on the aldo-keto reductase family 1, member C3 rs12529 gene polymorphism? [PDF]
Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is an effective palliation treatment in men with advanced prostate cancer (PC). However, ADT has well documented side effects that could alter the patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Life-history and hormonal control of aggression in black redstarts: blocking testosterone does not decrease territorial aggression, but changes the emphasis of vocal behaviours during simulated territorial intrusions [PDF]
Introduction: Many studies in behavioural endocrinology attempt to link territorial aggression with testosterone, but the exact relationship between testosterone and territorial behaviour is still unclear and may depend on the ecology of a species.

The Development of the Human Female Reproductive Tract. Part 1: Uterine Tube and Uterus
ABSTRACT The uterine tubes and uterus develop from the paramesonephric (Müllerian) ducts. Most experimental data are obtained in rodents. Since the (micro‐)anatomy of the murine urogenital tract differs from that in humans, evaluation of the translatability of mouse data to human development is relevant.
