Decreased Production of Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Endothelial Cells From Nasal Polyps

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Previous studies have demonstrated that chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by excessive fibrin deposition which is related to impaired production of tissue plasminogen activator(t‐PA) by epithelial cells.

Effect of Salinity Stress on Gut–Brain–Gonad Axis in the Red‐Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The increase in salinity leads to changes in the gut microbiota and metabolites of Trachemys scripta elegans, affecting the synthesis and secretion of neurotransmitters or precursors, which can inhibit the secretion of reproductive hormones and affect the self‐renewal and differentiation process of spermatogonial stem cells.

The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...

EXPRESSION OF A DOMINANT-NEGATIVE RETINOIC ACID RECEPTOR-GAMMA IN XENOPUS EMBRYOS LEADS TO PARTIAL RESISTANCE TO RETINOIC ACID

The administration of the teratogen retinoic acid (and other retinoids) to vertebrate embryos causes a range of developmental abnormalities. It remains to be shown how these teratogenic effects are mediated, and whether or not they reflect any ...

Cyclic Treatment With WIN 18,446, a Potential Male Contraceptive, is as Effective as Continuous Treatment for Suppression of Spermatogenesis in Mice

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Retinoic acid plays a critical role in spermatogenesis during both spermatogonial differentiation and spermiation. Mice lacking enzymes that synthesize retinoic acid, Aldh1a1/1a2, in the testes are infertile. WIN 18,446 reversibly inhibits spermatogenesis by inhibiting ALDH1A1/1A2 and is a promising approach to male contraception ...

Aniridia‐associated keratopathy: Clinical and molecular mechanisms of disease progression and emerging therapeutic targets

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital aniridia is a rare genetic disorder primarily caused by pathogenic variants of the PAX6 gene. It leads to various panocular anomalies, including aniridia‐associated keratopathy (AAK). This review highlights recent insights into its pathogenesis, focusing on clinical staging, microstructural changes in the cornea and molecular ...

Cellular retinoid binding proteins and nuclear retinoic acid receptors in endometrial epithelial cells

Retinoic acid, one of the most potent of the naturally occurring retinoids (retinol and derivatives), is required in vivo for the maintenance of epithelial cell growth.

MicroRNAs as potential architects of immune dysregulation and megakaryocytic failure in immune thrombocytopenia

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by accelerated destruction of peripheral platelets and impaired megakaryopoiesis. While the cellular effectors, dysregulated T cells, hyperactive B cells and phagocytic macrophages are well characterized, the upstream epigenetic mechanisms orchestrating this ...
