Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals T Helper Cells Synthesizing Steroids De Novo to Contribute to Immune Homeostasis

open access: yesCell Reports, 2014
T helper 2 (Th2) cells regulate helminth infections, allergic disorders, tumor immunity, and pregnancy by secreting various cytokines. It is likely that there are undiscovered Th2 signaling molecules.

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 2373-2387, November 2026.
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

Potentiation effects of the positive allosteric modulator PTC‐174 on NMDA receptors in neonatal male rat substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 21, Page 6481-6500, November 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Positive allosteric modulators bind to secondary binding sites on the receptor and alter receptor conformation and activation, changing agonist potency and efficacy. PTC‐174 is a novel NMDA receptor positive allosteric modulator that particularly enhances activity of receptors containing GluN2C or GluN2D subunits.

Deficient pregnenolone synthesis associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and organelle dysfunction

open access: yesEndocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2019
Steroid hormones are essential for the survival of all mammals. In adrenal glands and gonads, cytochrome P450 side chain cleavage enzyme (SCC or CYP11A1), catalyzes conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone.

Evaluation of a non‐radioactive rapid test for determination of serum progesterone in South American camelids

open access: yesVeterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 7, Page e327-e330, 3/10 October 2026.
Abstract Background Determination of the serum progesterone (P4) concentration is of high importance in reproductive medicine and may be applied for diagnosing pregnancy in South American camelids. P4 measurements in alpacas and llamas are usually performed using immunoassays, which are time consuming and require appropriate expertise of laboratory ...
