Objective: The aim: It was the establishing the features of changes in the structure of the testes of experimental animals, as well as immunological, hormonal and cytokine parameters of blood plasma during stimulation.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study was carried out on 60 white male immature rats. Imunofan was used at a dosage of 50 υg. The organs were weighed, the relative mass was calculated, and the linear dimensions were determined. The morphometriv parameters of the epitheliospermatogenic layer were measured. The number of supporting cells and interstitial endocrinocytes was counted, as well as the volume of cell nuclei. The level of reproductive hormones in the plasma and the concentration of cytokines were determined.
Results: Results: The results obtained indicate the development of readaptation processes in the testes after the use of the Imunofan against the background of environmental immunosuppression. The ability of the drug to stimulate the production of cytokines and hormones normalizes the function of immunocompetent cells, which is manifested in the stabilization of the immune homeostasis of the testes.
Conclusion: Conclusions: In response to the immunostimulating effect of Imunofan, a pronounced reaction is observed on the part of the testes of immature animals, which is due to the sensitivity of morphogenetic processes in the organ to external influences and the formation of mechanisms of their regulation, characteristic of this period of ontogenesis.

Hox genes specify identities mainly in the anteroposterior axis in various animal tissues, some of them forming part of the internal organs and systems. The expression and activity of these genes have been analyzed mainly in Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly, and in mouse; in the former, the functional study of Hox genes has been detailed predominantly in epidermal structures, but their role in internal organs poses some challenges, particularly in pupae. One of these genes, Abdominal-B, dictates the development of many internal organs in the posterior abdomen of the fly, yet techniques for its analysis, like in vivo time-lapse, have long been impractical.

The Sox family genes, as a group of transcription factors, are widely expressed in vertebrates and play a critical role in reproduction and development. The present study reported that 26 sox genes were identified from the genome and transcriptome of P. leopardus.

The marsupial moles are arguably Australia's most enigmatic marsupials. Almost indistinguishable from placental (eutherian) moles, they provide a striking example of convergent evolution. Exploring the genome of the southern marsupial mole, we provide insights into its unusual biology.

Complexity and reproductive plasticity are very well-known characteristics of anurans. The group is being continuously explored taxonomically and phylogenetically, which leads to a great potential diversity not yet uncovered. This is particularly evident due to the lack of investigation regarding species-specific traits, even the ones well distributed in the lineages as polyandry.
