Functional, pathogenic, and pharmacological roles of protein folding intermediates
Abstract Protein expression and function in eukaryotic cells are tightly harmonized processes modulated by the combination of different layers of regulation, including transcription, processing, stability, and translation of messenger RNA, as well as assembly, maturation, sorting, recycling, and degradation of polypeptides.

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

The multicopy gene Sly represses the sex chromosomes in the male mouse germline after meiosis. [PDF]
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).

The ductal network in the human testis and epididymis: What belongs to which?
Abstract The testes and epididymis are traversed by a system of tubules in which sperm cells are generated, matured, nourished, and transported. Among these are the efferent ductules, which connect the rete testis to the duct of the epididymis. In the Terminologia Anatomica (TA), the efferent ductules are assigned to the testicles, while numerous ...

Testicular degeneration and infertility following arbovirus infection [PDF]
Arboviruses can cause a variety of clinical signs including febrile illness, arthritis, encephalitis and hemorrhagic fever. The recent Zika epidemic highlighted the possibility that arboviruses may also negatively affect the male reproductive tract.

Abstract Background Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of aggressive non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma with distinct clinical and molecular heterogeneity. DLBCL that arises in extranodal organs is particularly linked to poor prognosis. This study aimed to determine the clinical and molecular characteristics of extranodal involvement (

Abstract Background Overweight and obesity are known risk factors for cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate associations of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with incidence of 27 site‐specific cancers stratified by sex and menopausal status accounting for non‐linearity.

Testicular germ-cell tumours and penile squamous cell carcinoma: Appropriate management makes the difference [PDF]
Germ-cell tumours (GCT) of the testis and penile squamous cell carcinoma (PeSCC) are a rare and a very rare uro-genital cancers, respectively. Both tumours are well defined entities in terms of management, where specific recommendations - in the form of ...

Advances in Cytosolic Delivery of Proteins: Approaches, Challenges, and Emerging Technologies
Proteins regulate almost all biological processes, and overcoming the protein's natural membrane inpermeability will provide a unique opportunity for intracellular targeting of related therapeutic proteins. Chemical modification of proteins and different types of delivery vectors can mediate intracellular transport of proteins, providing new ideas for ...

Developmental changes in the histological structure of the testes, and testosterone profiles in male guinea fowls (Numida meleagris) [PDF]
Owing to the paucity of information on the reproductive biology of guinea fowls, a study involving a total of 66 males was conducted, and documented the developmental changes in histological structure of the testes of guinea cocks from hatching until ...
