Visualization of the intact embryo sac within the ovular/gynoecial tissues and clear identification of cell types can be logistically difficult and subject to interpretation. Cellular marker technologies have been available for the embryo sac, but have typically labeled only one cell type in a particular line. Here, we describe techniques for simultaneous labeling each cell type in the embryo sac and visualization methods for such in Arabidopsis, soybean, maize, and sorghum.

Pesticides and antibiotics have been frequently reported in the environment, but it remains unclear whether antibiotics affect the toxicity of pesticides to aquatic organisms. In this study, the acute, developmental and reproductive toxicity effects of the pesticide chlorantraniliprole on zebrafish at different developmental stages under pressure of ciprofloxacin and erythromycin at environmental concentration were explored. Chlorantraniliprole, ciprofloxacin, and erythromycin are all low toxic to zebrafish (LC > 100 mg/L), and environmental concentrations of antibiotics have no effect on the acute toxicity of chlorantraniliprole to zebrafish.

The adverse effect of ambient PM exposure on very early pregnancy (VEP) remains controversial among epidemiological studies but is supported by toxicological evidence. We adopted a multicenter retrospective cohort of 141,040 cycles to evaluate the effect of PM exposure on the VEP using the fertilization and embryo transfer platform and high-resolution PM data in China. We first investigated the association between PM exposure 1 week before and 1 week after the embryo transfer date and VEP.

The potential health risks of microplastics (MPs) and their combined exposure with heavy metals such as mercury (Hg) in aquatic environment are increasingly concerned recently. In this work, zebrafish embryos were exposed to different levels of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs, ∼0.1 μm) coupled with Hg(II) or/and MeHg at 20 μg/L, to investigate the tissue biodistribution and accumulation of PS-MPs and Hg species, and their interaction, as well as embryo toxicity, oxidative stress and metabolic profiles.

BACKGROUND Subchorionic hematoma (SCH) can lead to blood accumulation and potentially affect pregnancy outcomes. Despite being a relatively common finding in early pregnancy, the effects of SCH on pregnancy outcomes such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and preterm birth remain debated. This study aims to address these gaps by systematically evaluating the influence of SCH-related clinical factors on pregnancy outcomes using robust analytical techniques.

Background: In freeze-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles, hormone replacement treatment (HRT) is crucial for implantation and pregnancy maintenance. HRT typically continues until the 10th week of pregnancy owing to a luteoplacental shift, although a definitive HRT regimen remains undetermined. We present the case of a woman who underwent FET during an HRT cycle and ceased HRT after a negative pregnancy test at 3 weeks and 5 days, who went on to deliver a healthy baby.
