Magneto‐responsive fibers and fabrics for soft systems
Abstract The combination of functional materials in fiber form has led to a surge in the integration of functional fibers and fabrics into soft systems that span sensing, communication, and actuation domains. A key subset is magnetic fibers and fabrics.

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is increasingly recognized as a systemic disorder rather than a purely local prostate disease. The diagram illustrates the transition from the traditional local prostate‐centered model to a multi‐axis systemic framework involving clinical heterogeneity, local prostatic inflammation, systemic ...

Unraveling sperm kinematic heterogeneity with machine learning
The management of data from computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) systems is crucial for understanding sperm motility. CASA systems generate motility parameters derived from tracking individual sperm cells, producing raw data as spermatozoa coordinates ...

Iqcm Is Dispensable for Male Fertility in Mice
Schematic overview of the experimental workflow. Iqcm is highly expressed in mice testis (left). Iqcm−/− mice were generated via CRISPR/Cas9 (second panel). Phenotypic analyses including testis/epididymis histology (H&E), sperm morphology, and litter size revealed no significant differences between Iqcm+/+ and Iqcm−/− mice (third panel).

Lactation, Childrearing, and Gender Justice
ABSTRACT In this article, I discuss the significance of early infant feeding choices for the goal of gender justice. Focusing on human lactation practices, I identify Exclusive Gestational Nursing (EGN) as the norm in advanced industrial societies, which creates the expectation and permission for gestators, and only gestators, to nurse children, and ...

EFFECTS OF INDOLEAMINES ON SPERM MOTILITY INVITRO
Indoleamines are products of the pineal gland and are postulated to play an antigonadotrophic role in the reproductive system of mammals. In humans, indoleamines have been localized in tissue fluids such as plasma, serum and cerebrospinal fluid.

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...
