Social and Anxiety‐Like Behaviors Are Affected in Juvenile Mice With Gli2+/− but Not Gli3+/𝛥699 Genetic Modifications

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Across Gli3+/Δ699, Gli2+/−, and combined Gli2+/−;Gli3+/Δ699 mice (males and females, with wild‐type controls), GLI2 and GLI3 differentially regulate anogenital distance and juvenile behavior, with amplified effects under combined disruption, whereas circulating steroids and sexually dimorphic nucleus area remain unchanged. Created in BioRender. Niepsuj,

The Relationships of Season, Climate, Habitat, and Sex Variables With Fecal Cortisol, Progesterone, and Testosterone Metabolite Concentrations in Roe Deer

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Roe deer in Kiasar National Park and Wildlife Refuge, Iran; Photo by Hamed Tizrooyan. This study examined how seasonal, climatic, topographic, habitat, and sex variables influence fecal cortisol, testosterone, and progesterone metabolite concentrations in roe deer populations within Iran's Kiasar National Park and Wildlife Refuge through fecal sample ...

Vertebrate endocrine disruptors induce sex-reversal in blue mussels

Scientific Reports
Mollusks are the second most diverse animal phylum, yet little is known about their endocrinology or how they respond to endocrine disrupting compound (EDC) pollution. Characteristic effects of endocrine disruption are reproductive impairment, skewed sex

Anuran call properties as reliable indicators of environmental suitability for reproduction

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 5, June 2026.
The onset of animal breeding activity is often accompanied by auditory signals, typically produced by males, that indicate reproductive status to potential mates and competitors. Here, using male anuran advertisement calls as a case study, we present the novel hypothesis that characteristics of ectotherm auditory signals that are modulated by ...

Effects of empagliflozin on reproductive system in men without diabetes

Scientific Reports
Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibition is a well-known target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, renal disease and chronic heart failure. The protein SGLT2 is encoded by SLC5A2 (Solute Carrier Family 5 Member 2), which is highly expressed in

Steroid hormone-deprived sex reversal in cyp11a1 mutant XX tilapia experiences an ovary-like stage at molecular level

Communications Biology
Fish sex is largely influenced by steroid hormones, especially sex hormones. Here, we established a steroid hormone-free genetic model by mutation of cyp11a1 in Nile tilapia, which was confirmed by EIA assay.

Deletion of a Pax1 Sex‐Associated Genomic Region Associated With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Leads to Disc Degeneration, Instability, and Vertebral Rotation in Mice

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of the effects of Pax1‐SAR deletion on gene expression, IVD degeneration, and resultant scoliotic‐like curvature between sexes. Proposed mechanism of sex‐dependent changes in gene expression in females (right) and males (left), resulting in sex‐dependent disc degeneration and scoliotic phenotypes.

Sex Determination in Sponges

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sex determination in Porifera remains one of the least understood aspects of early metazoan biology despite the group's key phylogenetic position. Sponges display exceptional diversity in sexual systems—ranging from stable gonochorism to sequential hermaphroditism and sex reversal—yet lack morphological dimorphism and any discrete gonadal ...

Headache psychiatry: A structured narrative review and integrative framework

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences Reports, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Headache disorders are among the most prevalent and disabling neurological conditions worldwide, yet their psychiatric comorbidities remain systematically underrecognized in clinical practice. This narrative review introduces Psychocephalology—a biopsychosocial framework conceptualizing headache through five interacting domains: neurobiology, pain ...
