The Oxytocin Receptor in Spermatozoa May Originate From Both Spermatogenesis and Epididymal Maturation, and Regulates Capacitation

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The oxytocin receptor (OR) is a G‐protein‐coupled receptor recently identified in human spermatozoa, whose origin and role in sperm physiology remain unknown. Objectives In this study, using the pig as a model, we examine the presence of the OR in ejaculated spermatozoa through immunofluorescence and immunoblotting, and investigate ...

Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Wool fibres are complex matrices of proteins and fatty acids/lipids found both internally and externally. 18‐methyleicosanoic acid (18‐MEA) is covalently bound to the surface of the fibre via a thio‐ester link, and is considered one of the most important lipids as it is responsible for the hydrophobic properties of wool fibres.

Making sense of TILs: recommendations for morphological assessment of tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes in gastro‐oesophageal carcinoma

Histopathology, EarlyView.
This review examines the role of tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in gastro‐oesophageal carcinoma (GEC), focusing on their composition, clinical relevance and therapeutic utility. It proposes a framework for standardised evaluation and reporting of TILs, addressing GEC‐specific pathology challenges to support the widespread use and validation of ...

Assessment of two minimally invasive methodologies for sex identification in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sex is an important driver of variation in behaviour, ecology and physiology. Sex identification in the Critically Endangered European eel (Anguilla anguilla) currently requires fish sacrifice, or the use of morphological differences such as body length, which can be inaccurate in certain habitats and at intermediate body lengths.

Time-resolved measurement of neutron energy isotropy in a sheared-flow-stabilized Z pinch

Nuclear Fusion
Previous measurements of neutron energy using fast plastic scintillators while operating the Fusion Z Pinch Experiment (FuZE) constrained the energy of any yield-producing deuteron beams to less than 4.65 keV. FuZE has since been operated at increasingly

Electrophoretic patterns of proteinuria in dogs with Cushing’s syndrome

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To describe the electrophoretic pattern of proteinuria in dogs with naturally occurring Cushing’s syndrome. We hypothesised that urine protein electrophoresis in dogs with spontaneous Cushing’s syndrome will reveal glomerular proteinuria. We also hypothesised that the severity of proteinuria would decrease during treatment with trilostane ...

Quiescin Sulfhydryl Oxidase‐Like 1 Positively Regulates Seed Dormancy in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed dormancy is an adaptive strategy that enables plants to survive adverse environmental conditions. In agricultural contexts, an optimal level of dormancy is essential: Insufficient dormancy can result in preharvest sprouting, while excessive dormancy may lead to uneven germination and poor stand establishment in subsequent crops.

Strigolactones Regulate Sugar Allocation to Control Rice Tillering and Root Development via the OsSPL14‐OsSHR1‐OsSWEET16 Pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strigolactones (SLs) are root‐to‐shoot phytohormones that regulate tillering (branching) and root development. Sugar, as an essential energy substance and signalling molecule, plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of plants. However, the molecular mechanisms by which SL directly regulates sugar allocation to control tillering ...
