By means of multiple 3H-thymidine administration to adult frogs, a direct electron microscopic radioautographic evidence is first by presented regarding the possibility of an in vivo mitotic division of differentiated hypothalamic peptidergic neurosecretory cells. The absence of any signs of cytoplasmic dedifferentiation, as well as a poor development of spindle microtubules in this cell may be suggestive of a polyploidizing, possibly acytokinetic mitotic process occurring in such kind of cells.

Background: Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins play a crucial role in regulating the biological properties of adherent cells. For cryopreserved fibroblasts, a favourable ECM environment can help restore their natural morphology and function more rapidly, minimizing post-thaw stress responses.

Methods And Results: This study explored the functional responses of cryopreserved enriched caprine adult dermal fibroblast (cadFibroblast) cells to structural [collagen-IV and rat tail collagen (RTC)] and adhesion ECM proteins (laminin, fibronectin, and vitronectin) under in vitro culture conditions.

The role of luteinizing hormone activity in spermatogenesis: from physiology to clinical practice.

Reprod Biol Endocrinol

January 2025

Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.

The production of spermatozoa, a process known as spermatogenesis, is primarily controlled by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)-driven testosterone. LH acts on the Leydig cells, stimulating steroid production, predominantly testosterone, and activating critical inter-related spermatogenesis regulatory pathways. Despite evidence that exogenous gonadotropins containing LH activity can effectively restore spermatogenesis in males with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, the use of these drugs to treat other forms of male infertility is the subject of an ongoing debate.

Analysis of differential gene expression of PBMC for the in vitro detection of drug sensitization.

Allergol Int

January 2025

Research Division, Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM), Bonn, Germany; Department of Dermatology and Allergy, University Hospital Aachen, Aachen, Germany.

Background: The detection of drug-specific activation of T cells in the lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) is mainly based on cell proliferation or cytokine secretion. However, the LTT presents with a varying sensitivity and specificity. The aim of our study was to analyse the genome wide gene expression of PBMC to identify drug allergy-specific gene regulation patterns.

Background: Amplified imaging of microRNA (miRNA) in cancer cells is essential for understanding of the underlying pathological process. Synthetic catalytic DNA circuits represent pivotal tools for miRNA imaging. However, most existing catalytic DNA circuits can not achieve the reactant recycling operation in cells and in vivo.
