Many fluorochromes routinely used in semen quality analysis emit in the green and red channels, limiting their possible combination for multiple parameter analysis. The use of fluorophores emitting in different light channels broadens the possibilities of combination to expand the range of simultaneously evaluated criteria. This is of great interest in cases of small ejaculated volumes, such as those naturally occurring in roosters, small dog breeds and drones ().

Article Synopsis
  • The median eminence (ME) is a part of the brain that helps keep our body's balance in check.
  • Special cells called tanycytes in the ME play a role in how our body reacts to different signals, like hormones.
  • A specific group of these tanycytes help with taste and can affect how our body uses food and responds to fasting.

Article Synopsis
  • * Research shows that removing gonadotropes in female mice leads to significant health issues like hypogonadism, obesity, and bone loss, primarily due to the lack of sex steroids.
  • * FSH has a unique role beyond the gonads; it acts on pituitary corticotropes to help control corticosterone production, thereby playing a crucial part in managing liver fat levels.

In the mammalian brain TRPC channels, a family of Ca-permeable cation channels, are involved in a variety of processes from neuronal growth and synapse formation to transmitter release, synaptic transmission and plasticity. The molecular appearance and operation of native TRPC channels, however, remained poorly understood. Here, we used high-resolution proteomics to show that TRPC channels in the rodent brain are macro-molecular complexes of more than 1 MDa in size that result from the co-assembly of the tetrameric channel core with an ensemble of interacting proteins (interactome).

Unlabelled: Infectious diseases of the conjunctiva and cornea usually leave behind both broad local and systemic immunity. Case reports of SARS-CoV-2-positive conjunctivitis with subsequent systemic immunity suggest a new route of immunization preventing the primary infection of the airways.
