Fifteen Korean cobitid species were investigated by the light and electron microscope to clarify the structure on the egg envelope of the oocyte. The egg envelope (zona radiata) consists of two layers: 1) zona radiata externa which is the site for attachment of various adhesive materials, and 2) zona radiata interna which consists of heterogeneous electron-dense multi layers. The external appearances ofthe egg envelope could be classified into seven types as follow: 1) granule (Cobitis sinensis, C. lutheri, C. tetralineata and Iksookimia yongdokensis), 2) villi (C. pacifica, I. koreensis, I. pumila, I. hugowolfeldi and Niwaella multifasciata), 3) papilla (I. longicorpa). 4) grapevine (I. choii), 5) hillock (Kichulchoia brevifasciata), 6) sawtooth-like form (Koreocobitis naktongensis) and 7) unadorned form (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, M. mizolepis).

Article Synopsis
- Sperm and eggs have specific proteins called gamete recognition proteins (GRPs) that influence their compatibility in fertilization, and this study focuses on the VERL receptor in two abalone species.
- The full-length VERL sequences were found to be different in Pacific abalone (11,373 bp) and giant abalone (9,405 bp), with variations in their amino acid compositions and repeats.
- Notably, the study discovered a relationship between VERL genotypes and mating preferences in giant abalone, highlighting amino acid diversity's role in fertilization and providing insights for improving abalone breeding practices.

Since late 2021, outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus have caused a record number of mortalities in wild birds, domestic poultry, and mammals in North America. Wetlands are plausible environmental reservoirs of avian influenza virus; however, the transmission and persistence of the virus in the aquatic environment are poorly understood. To explore environmental contamination with the avian influenza virus, a large-volume concentration method for detecting infectious avian influenza virus in waterbodies was developed.

At the end of cell division, the nuclear envelope reassembles around the decondensing chromosomes. Female meiosis culminates in two consecutive cell divisions of the oocyte, meiosis I and II, which are separated by a brief transition phase known as interkinesis. Due to the absence of chromosome decondensation and the suppression of genome replication during interkinesis, it has been widely assumed that the nuclear envelope does not reassemble between meiosis I and II.

Sexual reproduction relies on robust quality control during meiosis. Assembly of the synaptonemal complex between homologous chromosomes (synapsis) regulates meiotic recombination and is crucial for accurate chromosome segregation in most eukaryotes. Synapsis defects can trigger cell cycle delays and, in some cases, apoptosis.
