The effect of female reproductive hormones on the perception of cuteness [PDF]

, 2012
The findings of two recent studies suggest that cuteness sensitivity may be modulated by the female reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone, with women showing greater sensitivity than men (Sprengelmeyer et al 2009; Lobmaier et al 2010) and women

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Social Communication Across Reproductive Boundaries: Hormones And The Auditory Periphery Of Songbirds And Frogs [PDF]

, 2021
Most animals experience reproductive transitions in their lives; for instance, reaching reproductive maturity or cycling in and out of breeding condition. Some reproductive transitions are abrupt, while others are more gradual.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Growth hormone: roles in female reproduction [PDF]

Journal of Endocrinology, 2000
Abstract GH, as its name suggests, is obligatory for growth and development. It is, however, also involved in the processes of sexual differentiation and pubertal maturation and it participates in gonadal steroidogenesis, gametogenesis and ovulation. It also has additional roles in pregnancy and lactation.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Characterisation of antigen-presenting cells in the murine female reproductive tract and its draining lymph nodes [PDF]

, 2011
Despite the global burden of sexually transmitted diseases, the immunology of the female reproductive tract is poorly understood. An understanding of how the distribution of antigen presenting cells in the tissue and cross talk between cell types both ...

Metabolic control of ovarian function through the sympathetic nervous system: role of leptin

Frontiers in Endocrinology
The link between metabolism and reproduction is well-known. Both undernutrition and obesity affect the reproductive system. Metabolic status influences reproductive physiology by regulating gonadotropin secretion and affecting reproductive organs through

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.
