Apoptosis in reproductive biology [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death & Differentiation, 1997
Recent studies aimed at a greater understanding of the occurrence and regulation of cell death in reproductive biology provide a promising new direction for novel approaches to understanding normal and pathological aspects of reproduction. Several instances of physiologically occurring cell death (programmed cell death, PCD), associated with ...

The genetic architecture underlying the evolution of a rare piscivorous life history form in brown trout after secondary contact and strong introgression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Identifying the genetic basis underlying phenotypic divergence and reproductive isolation is a longstanding problem in evolutionary biology. Genetic signals of adaptation and reproductive isolation are often confounded by a wide range of factors, such as

Maternal PlGF and umbilical Dopplers predict pregnancy outcomes at diagnosis of early-onset fetal growth restriction

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2023
BACKGROUND Severe, early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) causes significant fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. Predicting the outcome of affected pregnancies at the time of diagnosis is difficult, thus preventing accurate patient counseling.

Macrophages exert homeostatic actions in pregnancy to protect against preterm birth and fetal inflammatory injury

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2021
Macrophages are commonly thought to contribute to the pathophysiology of preterm labor by amplifying inflammation — but a protective role has not previously been considered to our knowledge. We hypothesized that given their antiinflammatory capability in

Reproductive biology of Bellucia (MELASTOMATACEAE) [PDF]

open access: yesActa Amazonica, 1986
The reproductive biology of five of the seven species of Bellucia (Melastomataceae), a genus of shrubs and small trees, was investigated in Amazonia. Sucessful fruit-set by Bellucia requires floral visitation by bees.

Notes on the floral sexuality of some species of the tree genus Triplaris (Polygonaceae)

open access: yesCaldasia, 2021
The majority of angiosperms (~94 %) are synoecious, with only a small minority separating the pro-duction of the two gamete types onto different biological individuals (dioecy).

ARRDC5 expression is conserved in mammalian testes and required for normal sperm morphogenesis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
In sexual reproduction, sperm contribute half the genomic material required for creation of offspring yet core molecular mechanisms essential for their formation are undefined.

A single-cell atlas of the myometrium in human parturition

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2022
Parturition is a well-orchestrated process characterized by increased uterine contractility, cervical ripening, and activation of the chorioamniotic membranes; yet, the transition from a quiescent to a contractile myometrium heralds the onset of labor ...

A review of the reproductive system in anuran amphibians

open access: yesZoological Letters, 2023
Reproductive biology is an important topic that is well explored in many vertebrates, but information about frogs’ reproductive mechanisms could be improved.

Radiotherapy exposure directly damages the uterus and causes pregnancy loss

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2023
Female cancer survivors are significantly more likely to experience infertility than the general population. It is well established that chemotherapy and radiotherapy can damage the ovary and compromise fertility, yet the ability of cancer treatments to ...
