Retinol binding protein in rat testicular cells [PDF]
Reproduction, 1981 Cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP) was identified in the cytosols of cultured Sertoli cells and peritubular cells from the testes of 20-day-old rats. CRBP was not detected in spermatids or spermatocytes obtained from the testes of 60-day-old rats.

Smart REASSURED Sensors via Machine‐Augmented Printable On‐Paper Arrays
Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.This perspective highlights the emerging role of pattern‐recognition, printable on‐paper sensor arrays for intelligent PoC diagnostics. It discusses how paper's inherent limitations can be overcome through surface modification and scalable printing, and how machine‐learning analysis of cross‐reactive arrays enables multiplexed, low‐cost, and REASSURED ...

Nuclear Factor I‐B Delays Liver Fibrosis by Inhibiting Chemokine Ligand 5 Transcription
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies the transcription factor Nuclear Factor I‐B (NFIB) as a key suppressor of liver fibrosis. NFIB expression declines during hepatic stellate cell activation, and its overexpression reduces fibrosis in mice models. The mechanism involves NFIB directly repressing chemokine C─C motif ligand 5 (CCL5), thereby alleviating oxidative ...
