Santalum album is an economically important plant in the craft, spices and medicine industries. The main chemical constituents found in sandalwood essential oils are sesquiterpenes. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl monoacyl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) is one of the rate-limiting enzymes required for the synthesis of sandal sesquiterpenes, but there are no studies on the HMGR gene in S.

- Biomedical research relies on trust from peers and society, making truthfulness in research claims essential for credibility and validity.
- The paper discusses how sting operations and hoaxes are significant threats to research integrity, comparable to fake research, as they violate the ethical standard of truthfulness.
- It advocates for critical scholarship as a better alternative to expose fake research without compromising trust and urges journalists to prioritize the unethical implications of sting operations over their sensational appeal.
The ultrastructure of human oocytes has been described only qualitatively. To offer a precise organelle spatial distribution and organelle volume during the main maturation stages, we previously conducted stereological studies on prophase-I (GV) and metaphase-I (MI) oocytes, and here we present results on metaphase-II (MII) oocytes. Five donor oocytes from different donors were processed for transmission electron microscopy, and quantification of organelle distribution was performed using point-counting stereology.
