Sternal Exocrine Glands in Neotropical Social Wasps

, 2020
A great diversity of exocrine glands is found in social insects. The main social function of exocrine glands is the production of pheromones, which are related to the maintenance of social organization of the colony, as interactions of dominance, maintenance of queen status, recruitment for food, search for nesting sites, defense, and reproductive ...

Streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia in the axolotl

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by loss of β cell mass and/or function, resulting in hyperglycemia. With no established curative treatment, this has initiated research in β cell regeneration. Current animal models have either limited regenerative capacity (mice) or small size and evolutionary distance from humans ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Assessment of Gold‐Mediated Male Reproductive Dysfunction in Male WISTAR Rats Through Sperm Analysis and Testosterone Measurement

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gold has been used for centuries in both ornamental and medicinal contexts. More recently, gold compounds, containing ions or nanoparticles, have attracted attention for their anti‐inflammatory, anticancer, and diagnostic applications. Therefore, concerns about systemic toxicity and biodistribution have prompted investigations into the ...
