Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Characterization and immunogenicity of nanoparticle vaccines displaying embecovirus spike proteins
Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.Virus‐like particle vaccines displaying spike proteins from OC43, HKU1 A, and HKU1 B were evaluated in mice for their ability to elicit antibodies against the spike proteins from OC43, HKU1 A, HKU1 B, and HKU1 C. Abstract Endemic human coronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 cause widespread respiratory infections and can be associated with severe illness in ...

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.The widespread use of metformin in human medicine coupled with the detection of metformin in blood and urine samples collected from racehorses has raised concern about the potential for exposure from contaminated stalls. This study describes blood and urine concentrations in horses following intentional exposure of horses to metformin contaminated ...
