The jungle crow Corvus macrorhynchos, which is a type of passerine, exhibits extreme morphological variation in the gonadal gland during the breeding season. Because the uropygial gland of the jungle crow sometimes exhibits morphological changes during the breeding season, we attempted to clarify the morphological changes in the uropygial gland of the jungle crow according to development and season.

- There is an increasing demand for specialized drug delivery systems focused on treating liver diseases, particularly by targeting the asialoglycoprotein receptor found in the liver.
- Researchers designed helical peptides that showed improved liver selectivity and uptake compared to traditional delivery systems, indicating they might be more effective for drug delivery.
- The study also explored the potential of these peptides in targeting lysosomes and highlighted their versatility for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes in liver disease treatment.
