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 ...

Insights Into Gut Barrier Dysfunction and Metabolic Alterations in Mycophenolate‐Induced Enteropathy
ABSTRACT Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a widely used immunosuppressant whose use is often limited by gastrointestinal toxicity. Gut bacterial hydrolysis of liver‐derived MPA glucuronides increases local exposure to MPA, potentially impairing epithelial barrier function and cellular metabolism.

How Does Biological Sex Impact Mucosal Bacterial Infection? Mucosal Defenses and Bacterial Detection
ABSTRACT Urinary tract infections possess substantial sex disparities in the incidence, immune response, and progression of infection. Some of these distinctions may be due to sexual dimorphism in mucosal barriers or sex differences in the initial immune response to infection.

Plasma Proteomic Profile of Chemotherapy‐Induced Severe Neutropenia: A Pilot Discovery Phase Study
Immune system, hemostasis, and protein metabolism are the major biological mechanistic effects affected by chemotherapy‐induced myelotoxicity treatment, which may underline tissue damage and systemic responses seen in patients' follow‐up treatment. ABSTRACT Transient severe neutropenia and thrombocytopenia are frequent during treatment of hematological

F4+ enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) cause severe diarrhoea in both neonatal and weaning piglets, resulting in morbidity and mortality. F4 fimbriae are a key virulence factor involved in the attachment of F4+ ETEC to the intestinal epithelium.

A Human Neural Tube Model Using 4D Self‐Folding Smart Scaffolds
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit features comparable to the inner cell mass of the human embryo. iPSCs are applied to a novel self‐folding 4D‐Neural Tube (4D‐NT) structure that mimics the neurulation process. This 4D‐NT model recapitulates early events of human neural development and represents a platform to explore neurodevelopmental ...
