The mechanics of a microscopic mixer: microtubules and cytoplasmic streaming in Drosophila oocytes [PDF]
Large scale motion of cytoplasm called cytoplasmic streaming occurs in some large eukaryotic cells to stir the cell's constituents. In Drosophila oocytes, microtubules have been observed to undergo undulating motion, curving to form travelling waves during cytoplasmic streaming.

Abstract Objective Social networks share medical content with no peer‐review or fact‐checking. In the present study we aimed to assess the quality, reliability, and level of misinformation in TikTok videos about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods We performed a cross‐sectional analysis of TikTok videos retrieved using “PCOS” as the search term ...

Abstract Ewing sarcoma is an aggressive, rare bone and soft tissue malignancy, often affecting the long bones and pelvis. A woman was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma of the left pelvis at 18 years of age. She underwent left paravesical lesion resection with ipsilateral ureteral reimplantation and received combined multi‐agent chemotherapy and high‐dose ...

ILETIA: An AI-enhanced method for individualized trigger-oocyte pickup interval estimation of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation protocol [PDF]
In vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) stands as one of the most prevalent treatments for infertility. During an IVF-ET cycle, the time interval between trigger shot and oocyte pickup (OPU) is a pivotal period for follicular maturation, which determines mature oocytes yields and impacts the success of subsequent procedures. However, accurately

Abstract Background Hormone pre‐treatment is still used before assisted reproductive technique (ART) in endometriotic women, but evidence supporting this recommendation is conflicting. Objectives To evaluate whether hormone pre‐treatment with gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists or progestogens could improve fertility in women with ...

Stochastic resonance of ELF-EMF in voltage-gated channels: the case of the cardiac I_Ks potassium channel [PDF]
We applied a periodic magnetic field of frequency 16 Hz and amplitude 16 nT to a human I_Ks channel, expressed in a Xenopus oocyte and varied the membrane depolarization between -100 mV and +100 mV. We observed a maximal increase of about 9% in the potassium current at membrane depolarization between 0 mV and 8 mV (see Figure 3).

FIGO position statement: Gamete donations
Abstract Gamete donation has become a crucial part of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs), providing hope to individuals, including those who may have no other option for parenthood. This process comes with a wide range of ethical, medical, and legal challenges that need to be carefully addressed to protect the well‐being and rights of all ...
