Lack of evidence for sprouting of Aβ afferents into the superficial laminas of the spinal cord dorsal horn after nerve section [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The central arborizations of large myelinated cutaneous afferents normally extend as far dorsally as the ventral part of lamina II in rat spinal cord. Woolf et al. (1992) reported that after nerve injury some of these afferents sprouted into lamina I and

Biosynthesis and expression of zona pellucida glycoproteins in mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The zona pellucida (ZP) is an extracellular matrix surrounding the oocyte and the early embryo that exerts several important functions during fertilization and early embryonic development.

THE FUNCTION OF THE GROWING FOLLICLE [PDF]

open access: yesReproduction, 1975
The follicle plays a major role in the dual function of the ovary--oocyte maturation and release and steroidogenesis required for regulating its own growth and providing the proper environment in reproductive organs for the transport of gametes and nidation.

The Internal Conduit System of the Swine Inverted Lymph Node

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Lymph nodes (LN) are the crossroad where naïve lymphocytes, peripheral antigens and antigen presenting cells contact together in order to mount an adaptive immune response.

Effect of Collection Seasons on the Oocyte Quality and Developmental Competence of Oocytes Derived from Korean Native Cows (Hanwoo) by Ovum Pick-Up

open access: yesJournal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2014
Implementation of smart embryo technologies in cattle e.g. ovum pick-up followed by in vitro embryo production (OPU-IVP). Seasonal variation is important factor for follicular growth, oocytes quality, quantity and developmental competence.

Species-specific differences in follicular antral sizes result from diffusion-based limitations on the thickness of the granulosa cell layer

open access: yes, 2013
The size of mature oocytes is similar across mammalian species, yet the size of ovarian follicles increases with species size, with some ovarian follicles reaching diameters more than 1000-fold the size of the enclosed oocyte.

Androgenetic alopecia: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Purpose Androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness, is the most common type of progressive hair loss disorder in men. The aim of this paper is to review recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology and molecular mechanism

Hair follicle proteoglycans

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 1993
Proteoglycans are polymorphic macromolecules present in all mammalian tissues, including the skin and its appendages. They consist of a core protein to which one or more glycosaminoglycan chains are covalently attached. Broadly, they can be divided into classes based on location and core protein structure.

Human oocyte capacitation culture: Essential step toward hormone‐free assisted reproductive technology

open access: yesReproductive Medicine and Biology
Background In vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) is not a novel concept; however, its wide‐scale practice has been limited because of the lower clinical outcomes compared to conventional assisted reproductive technologies.
