Oogenesis in cultures derived from adult human ovaries
Ten years ago, we reported that in adult human females the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) is a source of germ cells. Recently, we also demonstrated that new primary follicles are formed by assembly of oocytes with nests of primitive granulosa cells in ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

RNA Modifications: Current Understandings and Future Perspectives
Types of RNA modification. We have summarized the currently common types of RNA modifications, including ac4C, m6A, m1A, m5C, m3C, m7G, and ψ, and visually characterized their features through structural formulas. The characteristic structures are marked with a background color different from the background color.

Ovarian Follicle Disaggregation to Assess Granulosa Cell Viability
Background: Mammalian ovaries contain follicles containing an oocyte enclosed by layers of granulosa cells (GC). Follicle growth and oocyte maturation are largely dependent on GC numbers and viability, but there is no established, reliable method for assessing the number of viable GC within an isolated follicle.

Estrous cycle-dependent changes of Fas expression in the bovine corpus luteum: influence of keratin 8/18 intermediate filaments and cytokines [PDF]
Background Fas expression and Fas-induced apoptosis are mechanisms attributed to the selective destruction of cells of the corpus luteum (CL) during luteal regression.

Insights Into Bifenthrin Stereoisomers and Their Regulatory Implications
Bifenthrin is a pyrethroid insecticide with two stereogenic centers, generating four stereoisomers with distinct physicochemical and electronic properties. A combined crystallographic and density functional theory study, supported by Hirshfeld surface, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, natural bond orbital, and reactivity descriptor analyses ...

El sistema reproductor femenino de Zearaja chilensis (Guichenot, 1848) (Chondrichthyes, Rajidae): Gametogénesis y validación microscópica de los criterios de madurez [PDF]
Los condrictios son extremadamente susceptibles a la explotación pesquera debido, entre otras cosas, a sus adaptaciones reproductivas. Los conocimientos básicos de sus parámetros reproductivos son esenciales, ya sea desde el punto de vista ecológico como
