Biology of Reproduction, 2016 During the estrous cycle, a rise in estrogen prior to ovulation alters the composition of the fluid in the oviduct to promote reproductive functions, according to a new study of this oftenoverlooked tissue [1]. As a result, embryos survive to travel successfully to the uterus. Many studies have established that estrogen helps mediate the receptivity of

Preventing Differentiation Towards Primitive Macrophages in Stem Cells With Down Syndrome
Immunology, EarlyView.Decreased fetal brain macrophages were previously reported in Ts1Cje mice, a model of Down syndrome (DS). We confirmed the reduction in primitive macrophages, brain macrophage precursors, using Ts1Cje‐derived mouse embryonic stem cells (Ts1Cje‐mESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells with trisomy 21 (Tri21‐hiPSCs), with in vivo validation ...

Permissible Purchasing, Obligatory Abstention: The Strict Vegan Case against New Omnivorism
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent developments in consumer ethics have given rise to a new breed of animal protectionist: the new omnivore. These new wave animal protectionists claim that strict veganism is impermissible for the very reason that typically motivates strict veganism; that is, animal protectionism.

Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal) in the Czech Republic: Flight dynamics and adult population structure
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Ips acuminatus exhibits a univoltine life cycle in Central Europe and no full second generation in midsummer. The sex ratio shifts from male‐biased in spring to slightly female‐biased with the season, with over 90% of females mated. Among the pheromone lures tested, the ACP was most attractive, and combining ACP and PH lures could be used for effective

Transfusion, EarlyView.Abstract Background Activation of complement protein C3 generally enhances antibody responses and C3‐null mice have decreased antibody‐based immunity. Mener et al. have reported a paradoxical suppressor function for C3 in alloimmunization to transfused RBCs as alloantibodies are increased in C3‐null mice.

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Paludomidae is a diverse family of limnic gastropods in the Cerithioidea, with a distribution range including most of tropical sub‐Saharan Africa, the Nile Valley, Madagascar, the Seychelles, as well as South and Southeast Asia. Its systematics and taxonomy are currently in a state of confusion, with Thailand being inhabited by probably two ...

Mapping the variability of in vivo rat uterine electrical properties throughout the oestrous cycle
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract After reaching sexual maturity, uterine function is driven by cyclical variations in hormone levels. The electrical and mechanical activity in the uterus varies during the menstrual cycle, contributing to essential functions such as sperm transport and shedding the menstrual lining.

Mechanisms of haemoglobin mass expansion following heat stress
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Theorised mechanisms of heat stress‐induced erythropoiesis which may facilitate the expansion of haemoglobin mass. A, acute: heat stress‐induced renal ischaemia. Redistribution of blood flow away from the kidneys to facilitate thermoregulation during heat stress could reduce renal oxygen delivery, subsequently lowering renal PO2${

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Low‐dose lithium supplementation in ovariectomized mice enhances skeletal muscle contractility (isometric force and fatigue resistance), SERCA function and promotes favourable transcriptional reprogramming, while increasing bone density and modestly improving insulin sensitivity.
