Post-eclosion growth in the Drosophila ejaculatory duct is driven by Juvenile hormone signaling and is essential for male fertility.

The Drosophila Ejaculatory duct (ED) is a secretory tissue of the somatic male reproductive system. The ED is involved in the secretion of seminal fluid components and ED-specific antimicrobial peptides that aid in fertility and the female post-mating response. The ED is composed of secretory epithelial cells surrounded by a layer of innervated contractile muscle.

Exploring the impact of high salinity and parasite infection on antioxidant and immune systems in Coris julis in the Pityusic Islands (Spain).

Climate change associated with human activities alters marine ecosystems and causes imbalances and abrupt changes in sea conditions. Scarce freshwater resources for human consumption often prompt the construction of desalination plants, which discharge significant amounts of brine into the sea, potentially elevating salinity levels. Furthermore, global trade together with higher temperature and pollution can facilitate the spread of parasites.

Real-World Analysis of Post-Progression Treatment Patterns and Outcomes for Mutation-Positive Patients Treated with First-Line Osimertinib.

The use of osimertinib in the first-line (1L) setting is an effective treatment option for sensitizing -mutations (m+) and has significantly altered the standard of care practice for m+ disease in Canada. Unfortunately, acquired resistance to osimertinib is almost universal, and outcomes are disparate. Post-progression treatment patterns and the outcome of real-world Canadian m+ patients receiving 1L osimertinib were the focus of this retrospective review.

Cell cycle variants during Drosophila male accessory gland development.

The Drosophila melanogaster male accessory gland (AG) is a functional analog of the mammalian prostate and seminal vesicles containing two secretory epithelial cell types, termed main and secondary cells. This tissue is responsible for making and secreting seminal fluid proteins and other molecules that contribute to successful reproduction. The cells of this tissue are binucleate and polyploid, due to variant cell cycles that include endomitosis and endocycling during metamorphosis.
