Molecular dynamics simulation of the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor. Understanding the conformational dynamics of receptor variants at positions N680 and D408 from in silico analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and a prototype of the glycoprotein hormone receptors subfamily of GPCRs.

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Treatment‐Driven Peripheral Blood Transcriptomic Remodeling and Baseline Predictors of ESSDAI and STAR Response to B Cell Therapy in Sjögren's Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract Objective This study aimed to characterize whole blood transcriptomic profiles in adults with active Sjögren's disease (SjD) treated with anti‐CD20 or B lymphocyte stimulator/BAFF inhibition, identify markers of clinical response, and define inflammatory pathways linked to nonresponse. Methods Whole blood RNA sequencing was performed

Intra‐Individual Variability of Blood and Urinary Steroid Markers and the Response to Codeine Intake in Healthy Men and Women

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Short‐term codeine administration (1–3 days) caused individual alterations in Athlete Biological Passport steroid markers, including elevated urinary T/E ratios and decreased serum testosterone concentrations below individual thresholds, despite no significant changes at the group level.

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.

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

Embodied attachments: IVF, the maternal body, and the making of embryo kinship

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the sphere of IVF (in vitro fertilization), there is increasing concern about the stockpiles of frozen embryos held in clinics across the country. This normative discourse tends to take the patient‐embryo relationship for granted, with salient political consequences for current embryo ‘personhood’ debates.

The effect of ovarian stimulation protocol on follicular asynchrony during in vitro fertilization – A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To examine the effect of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocol on follicular synchrony in a subsequent in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle in patients whose previous cycle was canceled due to asynchrony. Methods A single‐center retrospective‐cohort study (January 2018–March 2024), including women undergoing IVF who had: (1) a ...

Expression of the gonadotropin receptors during follicular development

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2018
Background Gonadotropins induce follicular development that leads to ovulation and luteinization. In women, the level of gonadotropins, along with the expression of their receptors, changes dynamically throughout the menstrual cycle.
