Clinical Evaluation of Sperm DNA Fragmentation and its Influence on Male Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology Outcomes Using the TUNEL Assay

Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Male factors contribute to approximately 50% of infertility cases, however, conventional semen analysis does not detect molecular sperm abnormalities.

School Board Elections in England and Wales, 1870–1902: An Electoral Experiment?

History, EarlyView.
Abstract The 1870 Elementary Education Act enabled the creation of school boards in England and Wales. Members were directly elected by the cumulative vote. This method gave each individual voter as many votes as there were seats on a school board, in some cases up to fifteen.

The effects of three physical modifications on the structural and functional characteristics of soluble dietary fibers: comparison among ultrasound, ball milling and cold plasma treatments

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry
This work studied three physical modifications, including ultrasound (US), ball-milling (BM), and cold plasma (CP) on Flammulina velutipes soluble dietary fibres (FV-SDF) regarding the structural and functional properties. Interestingly, BM was indicated

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Sperm Telomere Interactions Are Impaired in Testicular Cancer Before and After Adjuvant Therapy

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background No study has yet explored telomere length or interaction in sperm nuclei of testicular cancer (TC) patients exposed to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, sperm telomere dynamics have emerged as a potential marker in male infertility.

Sperm Selection Using Micro Swim‐Up: Improvement of Chromatin Integrity Compared to Density Gradient Centrifugation

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Selecting high‐quality spermatozoa with optimal nuclear integrity is a crucial step in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). While density gradient centrifugation (DGC) is widely used, the associated centrifugation steps may induce cell stress, potentially damaging sperm DNA.

Brain metastasis‐associated fibroblasts shape the tumour microenvironment to enhance cancer cell invasion

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Brain metastasis‐associated fibroblasts are active stromal components of the metastatic niche characterised by extracellular matrix remodelling and production of pro‐migratory mediators. They promote monocyte and cancer cell migration and enhance cancer cell invasion while having no growth‐promoting effect on cancer cells.

Notoginsenoside‐Fa mitigates vascular endothelial permeability via targeting SUGT1 to stabilize NLRP3 in a resting state

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Notoginsenoside‐Fa (Noto‐Fa) is an emerging active compound derived from notoginseng with promise in treating cardiovascular diseases. The development of cardiovascular diseases is intricately linked to the damage of vascular endothelium and it is widely acknowledged that numerous chronic inflammation pathways, especially the ...

Extracellular vesicles in pharmacology: Innovations in drug delivery and therapeutic applications in cancer

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a diverse population of membrane nanoparticles secreted by nearly all cell types, playing a key role in intercellular communication by transferring bioactive macromolecular cargo. In cancer, EVs shape both the local tumour microenvironment and distant premetastatic niches.
