Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Challenges in establishing clinical conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) in horses include variation in sperm and oocyte quality, which can be affected by mare age. Extended preincubation of stallion spermatozoa has resulted in successful IVF.

Regulation of connexin expression
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2005 Gap junctions contain cell-cell communicating channels that consist of multimeric proteins called connexins and mediate the exchange of low-molecular-weight metabolites and ions between contacting cells. Gap junctional communication has long been hypothesized to play a crucial role in the maintenance of homeostasis, morphogenesis, cell differentiation,

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pro‐inflammatory cytokines, TNF and IL‐1B, are essential for testicular homeostasis. Diacerein, an anti‐inflammatory drug, inhibits these cytokines, impairing M2 macrophages and Leydig cells (LCs). However, its impact on Sertoli cells (SCs) and M1 (CD68) macrophages remains unknown.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Notoginsenoside‐Fa (Noto‐Fa) is an emerging active compound derived from notoginseng with promise in treating cardiovascular diseases. The development of cardiovascular diseases is intricately linked to the damage of vascular endothelium and it is widely acknowledged that numerous chronic inflammation pathways, especially the ...

Respiratory Research, 2011 Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by arterial vascular remodelling and alteration in vascular reactivity. Since gap junctions are formed with proteins named connexins (Cx) and contribute to vasoreactivity, we investigated both ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Angiotensin II induces vascular inflammation, senescence, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and endothelial dysfunction, thus impairing SK+/IK+ channel function and reducing endothelial‐dependent hyperpolarisation (EDH). Metformin activates AMPK, increasing SK+/IK+ channel function and restoring vasorelaxation.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy, but their efficacy continues to be limited by immune‐related adverse events. Among these, ICI‐induced cardiac arrhythmias are increasingly recognised as a major adverse reaction, encompassing a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes, including conduction blocks, atrial fibrillation and

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Mitochondria can be transferred from bone marrow cells to cancer cells in acute myeloid leukaemia and multiple myeloma, boosting tumour energy production, growth, and drug resistance. This review highlights key transfer mechanisms and shows how targeting mitochondrial movement and dynamics may offer new therapeutic strategies to limit cancer ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Chd4/NuRD and ThPOK cooperate to maintain transcriptional repression and nuclear organization in adult cardiomyocytes. Chd4 loss reduces miR‐150‐5p, relieving repression of Sprr1a, while ThPOK loss further enhances Sprr1a activation, possibly through altered chromatin–lamina interactions.
