How neurons maintain their axons long-term: an integrated view of axon biology and pathology
Axons are processes of neurons, up to a metre long, that form the essential biological cables wiring nervous systems. They must survive, often far away from their cell bodies and up to a century in humans.

Bisphenol A Exposure Disrupts Organelle Distribution and Functions During Mouse Oocyte Maturation
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs). Previous studies have shown that the reproduction toxicity of BPA could cause severe effects on the mammal oocytes and disturb the quality of mature oocytes.
