Strategic litigation as a challenge for deliberative democracy

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Strategic litigation is a growing public concern, but remains understudied in democratic theory. In strategic litigation, collectives go to court with a political agenda that goes beyond their specific case. How should we assess the legitimacy of strategic litigation? Building on Lafont's model of deliberative democracy and Klein's distinction

Inhibition of ROS1 activity with lorlatinib reversibly suppresses fertility in male mice

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Inhibition of sperm maturation in the epididymis is a promising post‐testicular strategy for short‐acting male contraceptives. It has been shown that ROS1, a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in the epididymis, is essential for epididymal differentiation, sperm maturation, and male fertility in mice.

Evaluation of dimethandrolone undecanoate in non‐human primates as a candidate for long‐acting injectable male contraceptive

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dimethandrolone undecanoate (DMAU) is under development as a single agent hormonal male contraceptive. DMAU is a prodrug hydrolyzed by esterase(s) to the active metabolite dimethandrolone (DMA) which has dual androgenic and progestogenic actions.

A non‐hormonal reversible contraceptive targeting GSK3α, a protein kinase, essential for epididymal sperm maturation

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and objectives Epididymal transit renders key competence to mammalian spermatozoa for fertilizing eggs. Generally, the two paralogs of glycogen synthase kinase 3, GSK3α and GSK3β, functionally overlap except in testis and sperm. We showed that GSK3α is essential for epididymal sperm maturation and fertilization.

Luteinizing hormone receptor knockout mouse: What has it taught us?

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Luteinizing hormone (LH), along with its agonist choriongonadotropin (hCG) in humans, is the key hormone responsible for the tropic regulation of the gonadal function. LH and hCG act through their cognate receptor, the luteinizing hormone/choriongonadotropin receptor (LHCGR; more appropriately LHR in rodents lacking CG), located in the testis ...

La femme fait la maison: The Accumulation of Surplus Value through Family Planning in Burkina Faso1

Antipode, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the 1960s, demographers, international donors, and governments have calculated the political, economic, and social benefits of modern contraception usage in West Africa. We evidence how family planning technologies (FPTs) that are tethered to population development extract double value (productive and reproductive labour) from Burkinabè ...

Cross‐sectional and longitudinal metabolomics‐based profiles associated with oral contraceptive and progestin‐only pill use: A Finnish population‐based study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
In a metabolomics study of over 200 metabolites in 1721 fertile‐aged women, we found that current use of combined oral contraceptives (COC), especially third‐generation and other COCs, is associated with altered levels of several metabolic measures compared to nonuse of hormonal contraception or to use of a levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG‐IUD).
