Pathogenesis of Chemical Leukoderma and Chemical‐Induced Vitiligo

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leukoderma/vitiligo is a serious pigmentary disorder that notably impairs the patient's quality of life. In particular, chemical leukoderma (CL)/vitiligo refers to acquired depigmentation of the skin induced by exposure to certain chemicals. In this review, the term “CL” is defined as the temporary, localized loss of pigmentation at the site ...

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

An Explanation of Path Analysis and Recommendations for Best Practice

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Path analysis has become increasingly popular, but many studies do not show a deep understanding of how path analysis works or the assumptions on which it relies. In this paper, we explain that path analysis is statistically equivalent to either OLS when the researcher assumes uncorrelated errors, or instrumental variable (IV) estimation when ...

Major Cat Allergen Fel d 4: Structure and Identification of a Cross‐Reactive IgE‐Epitope‐Containing Area

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study reports the three‐dimensional structure of an important cat allergen, Fel d 4, that shares high homology with Equ c 1 (i.e., major horse allergen) and Can f 6 (i.e., dog allergen). The C‐terminal region of the Fel d 4 contains a major IgE‐reactive epitope.

The Oxytocin Receptor in Spermatozoa May Originate From Both Spermatogenesis and Epididymal Maturation, and Regulates Capacitation

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The oxytocin receptor (OR) is a G‐protein‐coupled receptor recently identified in human spermatozoa, whose origin and role in sperm physiology remain unknown. Objectives In this study, using the pig as a model, we examine the presence of the OR in ejaculated spermatozoa through immunofluorescence and immunoblotting, and investigate ...
