Variations in temperature throughout the reproductive tract have been noted in many species. A recent study found the cervix-rectum temperature differential (CR-TD) in cattle was related to fertility. The present study aimed to assess the CR-TD in mares around the time of ovulation and relate it to embryo recover.

- The study investigates how specific immune cell types in blood samples from patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) can affect survival rates.
- Researchers analyzed pre-treatment blood samples from 152 patients and found that lower CD8 T-cell counts and higher monocyte levels were linked to shorter survival.
- Their results suggest that these immune cell types could act as important biomarkers for mCRPC management, supporting the need for further research in clinical trials.
Background: Equine embryos >300 μm require puncture before vitrification. Protocols that do not require pre-puncture would make vitrification easier and allow for its widespread use.
Objectives: To design a successful vitrification protocol for embryos >300 μm without puncture as a pre-treatment.
Background: Studies examining the association between in utero Zika virus (ZIKV) exposure and child neurodevelopmental outcomes have produced varied results.
Methods: We aimed to assess neurodevelopmental outcomes among normocephalic children born from pregnant people enrolled in the Zika in Pregnancy in Honduras (ZIPH) cohort study, July-December 2016. Enrollment occurred during the first prenatal visit.
"Smart" nanogels are an attractive tool for the development of new strategies of immunization in veterinary medicine. Here, we reported the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of thermoresponsive nanogels based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) and theirin vitro, ex vivoand in vivo (mice model) performance. Smart nanogels of ca.
