Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Prostaglandin pathways in equine myometrium regulations: endometrosis progression
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceIntroductionProstaglandins (PG) are important regulators of the myometrial contractility in mammals. Endometrosis, a condition characterized by morphological changes in the equine endometrium, also affects endometrial secretory function.

Effects of trunk extensor eccentric exercise on lipid profile and glycaemic response
BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine, 2020 Objectives A number of previous studies reported physiological responses and adaptations after eccentric muscle contraction of limb muscles. In contrast, no study has determined physiological response after eccentric contraction of trunk muscles.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Stability of Fixed Points of Partial Contractivities and Fractal Surfaces
AxiomsIn this paper, a large class of contractions is studied that contains Banach and Matkowski maps as particular cases. Sufficient conditions for the existence of fixed points are proposed in the framework of b-metric spaces.

Fixed Point Theorems for New Type Contractive Mappings
Journal of Function Spaces, 2019 In this paper, we introduce some new concepts of contractions called γ-contractions and γ-weak contractions. We prove some fixed point theorems for mappings providing γ-contractions and γ-weak contractions unlike known results in the literature. Also, we

Revisiting Path Contraction and Cycle Contraction
Journal of Computer and System SciencesThe Path Contraction and Cycle Contraction problems take as input an undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and an integer $k$ and determine whether one can obtain a path or a cycle, respectively, by performing at most $k$ edge contractions in $G$. We revisit these NP-complete problems and prove the following results. Path Contraction admits
