An in situ hybridization (ISH) procedure with a digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probe for detection of Lawsonia intracellularis in paraffin-embedded tissue is described. This technique recognized 71% of PCR-positive cases and was thus superior to Warthin-Starry silver stain, which only detected 41%. The presented ISH is of comparable sensitivity to previously published immunohistochemical assays and is recommended for laboratories wishing to diagnose L. intracellularis infections in tissue sections but without access to antibodies.

The zona glomerulosa (ZG) synthesizes the mineralocorticoid aldosterone. The primary role of aldosterone is the maintenance of volume and electrolyte homeostasis. Aldosterone synthesis is primarily regulated via tightly controlled oscillations in intracellular calcium levels in response to stimulation.

The formation of the female germline is the fundamental process in most flowering plants' sexual reproduction. In , only one somatic cell obtains the female germline fate, and this process is regulated by different pathways. Megaspore mother cell (MMC) is the first female germline, and understanding MMC development is essential for comprehending the complex mechanisms of plant reproduction processes.

Endometrial stromal tumors (ESTs) are uncommon mesenchymal tumors of the reproductive system associated with heterogeneous histomolecular features. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ESTs are classified into benign endometrial stromal nodules (BESN) and endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESSs), which are further divided into low-grade and high-grade subtypes. High-grade ESS is frequently associated with YWHAE-NUTM2 gene fusions, while a newly recognized subtype with BCOR rearrangements, including fusions, alterations, and internal tandem duplications (ITDs), has recently been incorporated into the molecular classification of ESS.

Single nucleus RNA sequencing and multiplex fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed differentially expressed genes related to altered glutamate receptor distributions and synaptogenesis in thalamocortical (TC) recipient layer 4 (L4) neurons of the sensory cortex, specifically those receiving input from the intact whiskers after whisker denervation. Electrophysiology detected increased spontaneous excitatory events at L4 neurons, confirming an increase in synaptic connections.

Orbital structures are strongly correlated with catalytic performance, whereas their regulation strategy is still in pursuit. Herein, the Fe 3 and O 2 orbital hybridization was optimized by controlling the content of amorphous NiFe(OH) (a-NiFe(OH)), which was grown in situ on crystalline NiFeO (c-NiFeO) using an ultrasonic reduction method. The results of electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) revealed that the Fe-O orbital hybridization in a-NiFe(OH) is effectively strengthened by jointing with the adjacent oxygen (O) in c-NiFeO, which is further confirmed by the higher antibonding orbital energies based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
