3D Bioprinted Coaxial Testis Model Using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells:A Step Toward Bicompartmental Cytoarchitecture and Functionalization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 10, April 15, 2025.
The ability of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to model developmental processes makes them a promising source for engineering testicular tissues to study in vitro maturation and sperm production. This work describes the first hiPSC‐derived testicular model and shows that it captures functional aspects of prepubertal testicular tissues ...

Pregnancy-induced Cushing’s syndrome with an adrenocortical adenoma overexpressing LH/hCG receptors: a case report

BMC Endocrine Disorders, 2020
Background Pregnancy-induced Cushing’s syndrome (CS) with an adrenocortical adenoma overexpressing luteinizing hormone (LH)/human choriogonadotropin (hCG) receptors (LHCGR) has been rarely reported in the literatures.

Limosilactobacillus reuteri promotes the expression and secretion of enteroendocrine‐ and enterocyte‐derived hormones

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 6, 31 March 2025.
The probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri affects the epithelium of the human small intestine by transcriptionally upregulating and promoting the secretion of intestinal hormones. The hormones that L. reuteri regulates include those produced in enteroendocrine cells, like serotonin, GIP, and CCK, and those made in enterocytes, oxytocin, vasopressin ...

A luteinizing hormone receptor intronic variant is significantly associated with decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease in males carrying an apolipoprotein E ε4 allele

BMC Medical Genetics, 2008
Genetic and biochemical studies support the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele as a major risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), though ~50% of AD patients do not carry the allele.

Characterizing the Role of Endocannabinoid Receptor Cnr1 in Mouse Ovarian Granulosa Cells

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 43, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT The endocannabinoid receptors Cnr1 and Cnr2 have been found in reproductive organs such as the oviduct and uterus. These receptors bind to endocannabinoids, the arachinodoylethanolamine (AEA) and arachinodoylglycerol (2‐AG), respectively. Both cannbinoid receptors have been investigated for their role in implantation and fertilization. However,

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

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, Volume 24, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
The biphasic CAPA‐IVM system promotes oocyte competence acquisition. The use of CAPA‐IVM in clinical studies has set the tone for major progress in the field and is achieving a safer, less expensive, and less emotionally loaded IVF experience, currently validated for PCOS patients.
