ABSTRACT Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are commonly used for immune profiling in clinical research, but their isolation and cryopreservation present logistical challenges, particularly in settings with limited access to research facilities. To address this, we implemented a whole blood fixation protocol to preserve surface protein epitopes

Oogenesis and germinal bed morphology of the brown anole (A. sagrei)
Abstract Background The brown anole is a model species of the genus Anolis, a squamate (encompassing lizards and snakes) group widely studied in evolutionary, behavioral, and developmental biology. Full genome annotation, the establishment of gene editing techniques, and comprehensive description of reproductive tract morphology and embryogenesis in ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
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.

Jaw‐specific stem cell dynamics are associated with distinct enamel architecture in mouse incisors
Abstract Background The continuously growing mouse incisor serves as a model for stem cell‐driven tooth renewal. Although mice possess maxillary and mandibular incisors, most studies have focused on the mandible. Potential differences in structure and renewal between these serially homologous organs remain insufficiently characterized.

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.
