ABSTRACT In fish, sex determination and gonadal development are controlled by various genetic and environmental factors. In this study, experiments were conducted on the estuarine mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) to investigate gonadal differentiation following exposure to the synthetic estrogen, 17α‐ethinylestradiol (EE2).

Equine endometrium can develop progressive fibrotic and functional alterations, probably correlated with age and inflammatory insults that alter uterine microenvironment, creating hostile conditions for embryo implantation. Named chronic degenerative endometritis, this condition leads to reduced fertility in older mares. Extracellular vesicles secreted

ABSTRACT Reproductive migration in anadromous fish involves complex physiological adjustments to support intense metabolic and reproductive demands. In the case of Alosa immaculata, a key migratory species of the lower Danube River, these adaptations can be assessed through hematological and biochemical indicators.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease: Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Brazilian Patients
Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare inborn error of immunity characterized by the deficient production of reactive oxygen species in phagocytes, which are used in pathogen elimination. Affected individuals become susceptible to severe infections.

Our results suggested that the difference in pregnancy outcomes between fresh and frozen embryo transfer is related to the peak estradiol level and embryo transfer stage. The cutoff values for peak estradiol level for performing freeze‐all strategy to improve pregnancy outcomes were different for cleavage‐stage and blastocyst‐stage embryo transfer ...

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Contemporary hybridization among Arabis floodplain species creates opportunities for adaptation
Summary Hybridization between closely related species is increasingly recognized as a major source of biodiversity. Yet, whether it can create advantageous trait combinations while purging harmful alleles remains unknown. To address this question, we studied Arabis nemorensis and Arabis sagittata, two endangered species that currently hybridize in a ...

Pollen development under control and high-temperature stress: the role of plant hormones
Pollen grains, the sperm cell dispersal vectors, are essential for sexual reproduction and subsequent fruit and seed production. The developmental processes that release functional pollen at the precise stage and time to maximize pollination and ...
