Exploring the potential of using male‐killing endosymbionts to induce female‐biased insect populations for enhanced biomass production

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Overview of the mindset and long‐term goals with the approach suggested in this study. We provide a first proof of concept that male‐killing endosymbionts can be used to establish female biased populations with higher production efficiency than populations with a 50/50 sex ratio. This biological tool can have marked positive impact on future commercial

Robot‐Assisted Peritoneal Flap Vaginoplasty Versus Penile Inversion Vaginoplasty for Gender Affirming Surgery

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Direct comparison of robot‐assisted peritoneal flap (PF) to penile inversion (PI) vaginoplasty for gender affirming surgery is absent. Objectives We sought to compare these two techniques to aid patient decision‐making. Materials and Methods A retrospective case–control study of patients who underwent primary PI (N = 40) or PF (N ...

Male Mice Heterozygous for Protamine 1 and Protamine 2 Are Infertile, Displaying Sperm Damage and Retention of Protamine 2 Precursors, Transition Proteins, and Histones

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background During spermiogenesis, protamines (PRMs) replace histones to hypercondense and protect sperm DNA. Rodents and primates express two PRMs (PRM1 and PRM2). Alterations of species‐specific PRM ratios are associated with sub‐ or infertility in mice and humans.

Morphology‐based phylogeny of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) aligns with phylogenomics and informs higher‐level systematics

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a morphology‐based backbone phylogeny of Cerambycidae beetles inferred by parsimony analyses using 77 adult characters scored for 101 species. This phylogeny is largely consistent with recent phylogenomic studies regarding key placements (e.g., Parandrini stat. rev. within Prioninae, Necydalini stat. rev.

Powdered hibiscus anthocyanin‐nanofibril complexes as natural colourants: Stability and application in yoghurt and soft candy

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The instability of anthocyanins limits their application as natural food colorants. This study aimed to enhance the stability of anthocyanins extracted from Hibiscus sabdariffa through copigmentation with protein nanofibrils produced from pea, rice, gluten and whey isolates. Linear and curly nanofibril structures were prepared and incorporated

Surgical removal of a perirectal melanoma through sphincterotomy and rectal wall resection in a horse

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Melanomas are among the most frequent neoplasms in grey horses. Deep perirectal melanomas, however, are uncommon and challenging to excise due to their proximity to the peritoneal reflection. This report describes the successful standing removal of a large (16 × 8 × 6 cm) perirectal melanoma firmly adherent to the dorsal rectal wall in a 19 ...

Testicular torsion in foals and stallions

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Testicular torsion is a rare condition in horses characterised by a change in the position of the testis due to the testicular mesentery twisting around its own axis; it can occur both when the testis is still in the abdominal cavity and when it has descended into the scrotum.
