Disruption of reproductive and thyroid endocrine systems in zebrafish following early life and whole life cycle exposure to low-dose norgestrel

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Norgestrel (NGT), a synthetic progestin, is frequently detected in aquatic environments and known to disrupt fish endocrine systems. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to low NGT concentrations (9 and 66 ng/L) for 90 days post-fertilization ...

FOXL2 and NR5A1 induce human fibroblasts into steroidogenic ovarian granulosa‐like cells

Cell Proliferation, Volume 57, Issue 5, May 2024.
Overexpression of FOXL2 and NR5A1 reprogrammed human fibroblast cells into late‐stage and early‐stage granulosa cells respectively. AMH‐EGFP+ hiGCs secret high levels of estradiol and progesterone, and CD55+ hiGCs secret high level of estradiol. CD55+ hiGC transplantation can alleviate DHEA‐induced PCOS and has potential for cell therapy of PCOS ...

Identification of FDA‐approved drugs that increase mevalonate kinase in hyper IgD syndrome

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 302-316, March 2024.
Abstract Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is an autoinflammatory metabolic disorder caused by bi‐allelic loss‐of‐function variants in the MVK gene, resulting in decreased activity of the encoded mevalonate kinase (MK). Clinical presentation ranges from the severe early‐lethal mevalonic aciduria to the milder hyper‐IgD syndrome (MKD–HIDS), and is in ...
