Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies of Two Softshell Turtles with ZZ/ZW Provide Insights into TE‐Driven Recombination Suppression in Sex Chromosomes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study presents the first genomic identification and characterization of ZW sex chromosomes in two soft‐shelled turtle species through genome assembly and resequencing. We reveal the structural organization of ZW chromosomes, identifying both pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) and differentiated regions.

Microfluidic Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (MICSI): A Novel Platform for Sperm Isolation, Selection, and Injection Into Oocytes

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Infertility is a pressing global health concern, affecting one in six couples worldwide. The failure rate for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) cycles remains at approximately 78%, with limited improvements often attributed to a lack of technological innovation.

Cervical Cancer Screening With Both Human Papillomavirus and Papanicolaou Testing vs Papanicolaou Testing Alone [PDF]

Archives of Internal Medicine, 2010
Guidelines recommend screening for cervical cancer among women 30 years or older 3 years after a normal Papanicolaou test (hereinafter referred to as Pap test) result or a combined normal screening result (normal Pap/negative human papillomavirus [HPV] test results). We assessed reported recommendations by US primary care physicians (PCPs) on screening

Loss‐of‐Function Variants in CCDC189 Cause Human Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia by Disrupting Sperm Flagellar and Acrosomal Architecture

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), characterized by reduced sperm count, impaired motility, and abnormal morphology, is a major cause of male infertility with substantial genetic heterogeneity. However, the underlying genetic etiology remains unresolved in a large proportion of affected individuals.

ZAN, IZUMO1, and TMEM95 Protein Domains Identify the Physiological Status of the Sperm

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Infertility is a growing concern, which has led to an increase in the use of assisted reproductive techniques, involving in vitro sperm capacitation. Nonetheless, the optimal capacitation time remains a matter of debate, and it is unknown whether it has an impact on the localization of key membrane proteins.

Visual Voices, an Interpretive Methodology: Advocating for Inclusion in Cancer Research for People With Intellectual Disabilities Through Artwork Analysis

British Journal of Learning Disabilities, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background People with intellectual disabilities face inequities across the cancer care continuum. Barriers in communication and healthcare accessibility contribute to late‐stage cancer diagnoses and poorer outcomes. People with intellectual disabilities are often excluded from cancer research. This study presents a researcher‐led interpretive
