The seminal fluid protein SFP-1 regulates mated hermaphrodite aging and fat metabolism in C. elegans

The EMBO Journal
Across the evolutionary spectrum, sexual interactions can significantly influence the physiology and somatic aging in various species. In Caenorhabditis, male pheromones, sperm, and seminal fluid shorten the lifespan of hermaphrodites through different ...

First-in-Men Online Adaptive Robotic Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy: Toward Ultrahypofractionation for High-Risk Prostate Cancer Patients

Advances in Radiation Oncology
Purpose: Ultrahypofractionation presents challenges for a subset of high-risk prostate cancer patients due to the large planning target volume (PTV) margin required for the seminal vesicles. Online adaptive radiation therapy could potentially reduce this

Matrix-free calcium in isolated chromaffin vesicles [PDF]

, 1985
Isolated secretory vesicles from bovine adrenal medulla contain 80 nmol of Ca2+ and 25 nmol of Mg2+ per milligram of protein. As determined with a Ca2+-selective electrode, a further accumulation of about 160 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein can be attained ...

Copper‐Driven Epithelial Barrier Disruption: A Novel Mechanism of COPD Acute Exacerbations Mediated by the TNF‐α/ATP7A Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a copper‐driven mechanism of COPD acute exacerbations mediated by the TNF‐α/ATP7A axis. TNF‐α suppresses the copper transporter ATP7A via competitive NF‐κB/CREB1/CBP signaling, resulting in intracellular copper accumulation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, and epithelial barrier disruption.

Immature rat seminal vesicles show histomorphological and ultrastructural alterations following treatment with kisspeptin-10

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2012
Background Degenerative effects of critical regulators of reproduction, the kisspeptin peptides, on cellular aspects of sexually immature male gonads are known but similar information on accessory sex glands remain elusive. Methods Prepubertal laboratory

BAP31 Drives Cartilage Calcification through Disruption of Autophagosome–Lysosome Fusion in Osteoarthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical stress activates BAP31 in chondrocytes. BAP31 competes with ATG14 for binding to STX17, disrupting the STX17–ATG14 complex required for autophagosome–lysosome fusion. The resultant autophagic flux blockade drives the generation of autophagy‐derived exosomes, which mediate pathological cartilage calcification in OA. Chondrocyte‐targeted BAP31

In vitro decidualisation of human endometrial stromal cells is enhanced by seminal fluid extracellular vesicles

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2019
Extracellular vesicles are highly abundant in seminal fluids and have a known role enhancing sperm function. Clinical pregnancy rates after IVF treatment are improved after female exposure to seminal fluid.
