Characterization of chicken Relaxin3 gene: mRNA expression and response to reproductive hormone treatment in ovarian granulosa cells, and single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with egg laying traits in hens

Animal Biotechnology
As a protein structurally similar to insulin, relaxin3 (RLN3) plays a role in promoting arousal, suppressing depressive or anxious behaviors. Two studies revealed the increase of RLN3 expression during chicken follicle selection.

Sustained Therapeutic Efficacy of Intravenous Plasminogen Concentrate in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Plasminogen Deficiency: An Analysis of Dosing Parameters and Clinical Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the PLG gene and affects approximately 1.6 individuals per million. The condition is characterized by decreased plasminogen levels and impaired function, resulting in fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes throughout the body.

Trends in the size and age structure of marine fishes [PDF]

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2018
Abstract Size-selective harvesting is expected to reduce the average age and weight of commercially exploited fishes. The loss of larger, older fish has been hypothesized to negatively affect metrics of population viability, such as spawning behaviour, recruitment, and adult survival.

Life-history and reproductive traits of a key coral reef fishery species: the longnose emperor (Lethrinus olivaceus) in Palau [PDF]

PeerJ
Accurate life-history information is essential for conducting data-limited stock assessments of coral reef fishes, yet this information is often lacking in small-scale fisheries.

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.

Onset of reproduction in plants: Size-versus age-dependency [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1986
Understanding the roles of age and size in the timing of first reproduction or flowering in plants has become a goal for those investigating the evolution of life cycle patterns in general. Here I review the studies that are helping to clarify these roles, and indicate some directions for future research.

Royal Society Open Science
Humans exhibit variation in their strategic expression of longer-term versus shorter-term mating strategies, including sociosexuality, which is defined as their interest and engagement in sexual activity outside of committed partnerships.
