Annals of Human Biology, 2000 While there is agreement that sex differences in height are small up to the onset of the pubertal spurt in girls, there has been some debate about the question of which, and to what extent, various growth phases contribute to the average adult sex difference of about 13 cm.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Palatable food alleviates stress and prevents anxiety. This study uncovers a dedicated neural pathway: dopamine release in the PFC activates D1R neurons, whose projections to the peri‐PVN engage a population of anxiolytic CRFR1 neurons. These neurons then inhibit stress‐induced hyperactivity of PVNCRF neurons, providing a circuit‐level explanation for ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Using single‐cell and spatial transcriptomics, we identified key regulators that govern cell differentiation involved in parasite development and egg laying in Schistosoma japonicum. This comprehensive study establishes a foundational resource for understanding schistosome biology, deciphers the regulatory programs underlying cell differentiation and ...

Current Collector Engineering for New Efficient Bioresorbable Sodium‐Ion Batteries
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A bioresorbable Na‐ion battery is proposed with Mo or Mg thin‐film current collectors for temporary implants. Mo‐based batteries exhibit superior electrochemical performance and stable cycling compared with Mg counterparts. XPS was used to investigate the Mo/Mg surface oxidation.

The sexual dimorphism of obesity [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2015 The NIH has recently highlighted the importance of sexual dimorphisms and has mandated inclusion of both sexes in clinical trials and basic research. In this review we highlight new and novel ways sex hormones influence body adiposity and the metabolic syndrome.

Hypothalamic Control of Liver Health and Disease: From Circuits to Pathophysiology and Therapies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review delineates the hypothalamic circuits that control liver homeostasis via autonomic and neuroendocrine pathways. Dysregulation of this hypothalamus–liver axis drives disease progression across a spectrum including steatotic liver disease, liver inflammation and injury, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Sexual Dimorphism in Osteoclasts [PDF]
Cells, 2020 Osteoclasts are the principal mediators of bone resorption. They form through the fusion of mononuclear precursor cells under the principal influence of the cytokines macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF, aka CSF-1) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL, aka TNFSF11).

The True Identity of the “Second Pollen Morphology” of Camellia oleifera—Stomium Cells
Horticulturae, 2022 Previous studies on Camellia oleifera pollen morphology have indicated dual morphologies, defined as “dimorphism”. However, they were limited to morphological studies at the end of final development and did not elucidate the origin, structure, and ...
