AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how enlarging the tongue affects glandular organs in 16 male rats.
- Each rat received an injection of hydrophobic polyacrylamide gel into their tongue.
- Researchers observed and measured changes in both salivary glands (external secretion) and thyroid/adrenal glands (internal secretion).
Article Abstract
Response of glandular organs to tongue enlargement was studied in 16 outbred male rats; each of them received injections of hydrophobic polyacrylamide gel (0.05 ml) in midline of the tongue. Changes in the studied glandular organs of external secretion (salivary glands) and internal secretion (thyroid and adrenal glands) were morphometrically detected.

Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) encompass NK cells and ILC1s, which have non-redundant roles in host protection against pathogens and cancer. Despite their circulating nature, NK cells can establish residency in selected tissues during ontogeny, forming a distinct functional subset. The mechanisms that initiate, maintain, and regulate the conversion of NK cells into tissue-resident NK (trNK) cells are currently not well understood.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFA new species of branchiobdellidan annelid, Branchiobdella turkestanensis, is described having been removed from a specimen of Pontastacus kessleri (Schimkewitsch, 1886), reportedly from Turkestan but collected from the headwaters of the Syr Darya which is in the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan, and deposited in the Natural History Museum Vienna, Austria. Specimens of its sister species, Branchiobdella kozarovi Subchev, 1978, from its type area were examined and key morphological features were reported to justify naming the new species. The size, length and shape of the spermatheca and male reproductive organs in Branchiobdella turkestanensis are approximately half the size of those in B.
