Therapeutic effects of Vitex (Vitagnus castus) extract on in vitro maturation and fertilization of oocytes in mice affected by polycystic ovary syndrome [PDF]
Polycystic ovary syndrome results from lack of follicular wall collagen reduction leading to accumulation of follicles and decreased oocyte quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of vitex extract on in vitro maturation and fertilization of ...

The elusive scleral cartilages: Comparative anatomy and development in teleosts and avians
Abstract The sclera of all vertebrate eyes is comprised of connective tissue, with some organisms developing cartilage within this tissue. A review of the cartilages that have been described in the vertebrate sclera and their anatomical relationships is discussed together with their potential homology.

The Effect of Increased Access to IVF on Women's Careers [PDF]
Motherhood is the main contributor to gender gaps in the labor market. IVF is a method of assisted reproduction that can delay fertility, which results in decreased motherhood income penalty. In this research, I estimate the effects of expanded access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) arising from state insurance mandates.

How germline genes promote malignancy in cancer cells
We hypothesize that activation of a “germline program” promotes oncogenesis. Expression of otherwise germline specific genes may result in pseudomeiotic activity, thereby promoting oncogenesis through genomic instability. Other processes that are differentially regulated in the germline, such as migration and epigenetic – and metabolic plasticity, may ...
