Development of a laparoscopic technique for inguinal hernioplasty in standing horses
ABSTRACT Background Most previously described techniques for laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty (IH) in horses require advanced laparoscopic skills. Our objective was to describe a new laparoscopic IH technique using a surgical anchoring system. Methods Standing laparoscopic IH was performed unilaterally in eight experimental stallions, using the ...

The rab3A-22A chimera prevents sperm exocytosis by stabilizing open fusion pores [PDF]
At the final stage of exocytotis, a fusion pore opens between the plasma and a secretory vesicle membranes; typically, when the pore dilates the vesicle releases its cargo.

Abstract Neurospheres (NS) derived from adult stem cells of non‐neural tissues represent a promising source of neural stem cells (NSCs) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs) for autologous cell therapy. Knowing the fine structure of NS cells is essential for characterizing them during differentiation or oncogenic transformation.

New Evidence of TLR4 and TLR9 Variants Influencing Parasitaemia and Symptoms of Plasmodium vivax Infection. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) induce the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines and regulate the immune response to Plasmodium vivax infection. Genetic variants of TLRs are associated with susceptibility and severity of malaria in different populations. This study aimed to evaluate the association between polymorphisms in TLR1, TLR4, TLR7, TLR8,

Epac, Rap and Rab3 act in concert to mobilize calcium from sperm's acrosome during exocytosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Exocytosis of sperm's single secretory granule or acrosome (acrosome reaction, AR) is a highly regulated event essential for fertilization. The AR begins with an influx of calcium from the extracellular milieu and continues with the synthesis
