Degenerated, Undifferentiated, Rearranged, Lost: High Variability of Sex Chromosomes in Geometridae (Lepidoptera) Identified by Sex Chromatin [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Sex chromatin is a conspicuous body that occurs in polyploid nuclei of most lepidopteran females and consists of numerous copies of the W sex chromosome.

The multicopy gene Sly represses the sex chromosomes in the male mouse germline after meiosis. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2009 Studies of mice with Y chromosome long arm deficiencies suggest that the male-specific region (MSYq) encodes information required for sperm differentiation and postmeiotic sex chromatin repression (PSCR).

Egr1 is a sex-dependent regulator of neuronal chromatin, structural plasticity, and behaviour [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSex differences are found in brain structure and function across species, and across brain disorders in humans. A major source of brain sex differences is differential secretion of steroid hormones from the gonads across the lifespan.

The epigenome of evolving Drosophila neo-sex chromosomes: dosage compensation and heterochromatin formation. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 Sex chromosomes originated from autosomes but have evolved a highly specialized chromatin structure. Drosophila Y chromosomes are composed entirely of silent heterochromatin, while male X chromosomes have highly accessible chromatin and are ...

A ROLE FOR CELLULAR IMMUNITY IN EARLY POSTPARTUM PERIOD
Медицинская иммунология, 2021 The functioning of the secretory organs is closely related to the activity of the immune system. As is well known, this participation is manifested in the fact that at certain stages of activity, the lymphoid cells migrating to the organ can be involved ...

Correlation between Sex Chromatin and Female Breast Tumour in Paraffin Sections, Buccal Smears and Peripheral Blood Films [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014 Introduction: Sex chromatin is a plano-convex to triangular DNA mass measuring approximately 1µm in size and lying adjacent to the inner side of nuclear membrane in the somatic cells of the females.

A mammal-specific Doublesex homolog associates with male sex chromatin and is required for male meiosis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2007 Gametogenesis is a sexually dimorphic process requiring profound differences in germ cell differentiation between the sexes. In mammals, the presence of heteromorphic sex chromosomes in males creates additional sex-specific challenges, including ...

Biology of Sex Differences, 2022 Background Birds exhibit a unique asymmetry in terms of gonad development. The female left gonad generates a functional ovary, whereas the right gonad regresses. In males, both left and right gonads would develop into testes.
