Aging‐Associated Vacuolation of Multi‐Ciliated Cells in the Distal Mouse Oviduct Reflects Unique Cell Identity and Luminal Microenvironment

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Multi‐ciliated cells in the infundibulum and ampulla (INF/AMP) epithelium are vacuolated in aging. Unique cellular susceptibility of the INF/AMP epithelial population and aging‐associated decline in ovarian artery circulation, which supports the ovary and INF/AMP, contribute to this region‐specific vacuolation phenotype, as a consequence of a mildly ...

Testicular histopathology and its association with germ cell numbers, serum concentrations of reproductive hormones, and semen quality

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background It is well‐established that spermatogenesis, semen quality, and reproductive hormones are interlinked. It is, however, less well‐described how various specific testicular histopathologies are linked to reproductive hormones and semen quality.

Choroidal changes and association with Gaussian curvature in high myopic eyes with posterior staphyloma in ultra‐wide‐field optical coherence tomography angiography

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate choroidal changes in high myopic (HM) patients with posterior staphyloma (PS) and explore their association with Gaussian curvature (K) using ultra‐wide‐field optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF‐OCTA). Methods HM patients with wide macular PS (Type I PS) and without any PS (control) were recruited.

Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying gyrate atrophy: Why is the retina primarily affected?

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina (GACR; OMIM #258870) is a rare early‐onset autosomal recessive disorder, caused by bi‐allelic pathogenic variants in the gene coding for ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) resulting in hyperornithinaemia.

Effect of anticholinergic eye drops on intraorbital, periorbital and brain pulsation power

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The study aims to investigate the effect of pharmacologically reducing parasympathetic activity on ocular and cerebral pulsations, inspired by recent discoveries of a glymphatic‐like system in the eye driven by physiological pulsations.

Early life exposure to perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) impacts vital biological processes in Xenopus laevis: Integrated morphometric and transcriptomic analyses

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant associated with increasing health concerns and environmental hazards. Toxicological analyses of PFOS exposure are hampered by large interspecies variations and limited studies on the

Defining the polycystin pharmacophore through high‐throughput screening and computational biophysics

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
An unbiased high throughput electrophysiology screen identifies potent PKD2L1 channel inhibitors with divergent chemical composition that bind to pore fenestration receptors and stabilise their inactivated state. Abstract Background and Purpose Polycystins (PKD2, PKD2L1) are voltage‐gated and Ca2+‐modulated members of the TRP family of ion channels ...

Beyond synapses: cytoplasmic connections in brain function and evolution

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following Ramón y Cajal's groundbreaking contributions to the identification of synapses, research in neuroscience predominantly focused on their pivotal role in neural communication (the neuron doctrine), overlooking an intriguing possibility suggested by Golgi of non‐synaptic interactions among neural cells.

The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran–Cambrian metazoans

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major
