Expression of PTX3, GHR and GDF9 genes in cumulus cells and oocytes in relation to developmental competence of Bos indicus

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2021
The present study was conducted to evaluate the level of expression (mRNA) of specific developmental marker genes, viz. Growth Differentiation Factor 9 (GDF9), Growth Hormone Receptor (GHR) and Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) in bovine cumulus cells and oocytes in ...

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

The beneficial effects of cumulus cells and oocyte-cumulus cell gap junctions depends on oocyte maturation and fertilization methods in mice [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Cumulus cells are a group of closely associated granulosa cells that surround and nourish oocytes. Previous studies have shown that cumulus cells contribute to oocyte maturation and fertilization through gap junction communication.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Longitudinal cognitive assessment using the Cumulus NeuLogiq platform in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia

Scientific Reports
People living with ALS (plwALS) and/or FTD (plwFTD) often experience cognitive and behavioural changes. However, detection can be confounded due to factors like fatigue and testing anxiety.

Significance of Cloud Microphysics and Cumulus Parameterization Schemes in Simulating an Extreme Flood-Producing Precipitation Event in the Central Himalaya

Atmosphere
Between 11 and 14 August 2017, the southern belt of the central Himalaya experienced extreme precipitation, with some stations recording more than 500 mm of accumulated rainfall, which resulted in widespread, devastating flooding.

Lateral entrainment rate in shallow cumuli: Dependence on dry air sources and probability density functions

Geophysical Research Letters, 2012
Entrainment processes in convective clouds often occur stochastically and entrainment rate estimates depend on the distance from the cloud from which the dry air is entrained.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

High-order brain interactions in ketamine during rest and task: a double-blinded cross-over design using portable EEG on male participants

Translational Psychiatry
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that induces a shift in global consciousness states and related brain dynamics. Portable low-density EEG systems could be used to monitor these effects.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.
