TNFα-CXCR1/2 partners in crime in insulin resistance conditions.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is defined by chronic hyperglycemia due to insufficient insulin secretion or activity and decreased insulin sensitivity, known as insulin resistance (IR). This condition leads to oxidative stress and inflammation, increasing the risk of systemic inflammatory diseases. Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are major risk factors for IR and T2D.

Sperm characteristics of the Telorchiidae (Digenea, Plagiorchioidea): First ultrastructural data on Telorchis attenuatus an intestinal parasite of Trachemys scripta elegans.

The ultrastructural features of the mature spermatozoon of Telorchis attenuatus (Digenea, Telorchiidae), an intestinal parasite of the red-eared turtle Trachemys scripta elegans (Testudines, Emydidae), are described using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mature spermatozoon of T. attenuatus is a filiform cell tapered at both ends and displays Bakhoum et al.

Molecular and Cellular Involvement in CIPN.

Many anti-cancer drugs, such as taxanes, platinum compounds, vinca alkaloids, and proteasome inhibitors, can cause chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN is a frequent and harmful side effect that affects the sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and reduced quality of life. The causes of CIPN are not fully known, but they involve direct nerve damage, oxidative stress, inflammation, DNA damage, microtubule dysfunction, and altered ion channel activity.

Spermatological Characterization of the Cestode (Cyclophyllidea: Catenotaeniidae), a Parasite of Gerbils, and (Rodentia: Muridae) in Tunisia.

Ultrastructural characters of spermiogenesis and the mature spermatozoon of the cestode (Cyclophyllidea: Catenotaeniidae), a parasite of the Lesser Egyptian gerbil () and the North African gerbil () (Rodentia: Muridae) in the Djebel Dahar (South of Tunisia), were studied using transmission electron microscopy. The spermiogenesis of is of Bâ and Marchand's type III, which is mainly characterized by a proximodistal fusion of a single flagellum with a cytoplasmic extension. In this catenotaeniid, the proximal fusion is preceded by a 90° rotation of the flagellum.
