PDGFRA-expressing mesenchyme provides a niche for intestinal stem cells. Corresponding compartments are unknown in the stomach, where corpus and antral glandular epithelia have similar niche dependencies but are structurally distinct from the intestine and from each other. Previous studies considered antrum and corpus as a whole and did not assess niche functions. Using high-resolution imaging and sequencing, we identify regional subpopulations and niche properties of purified mouse corpus and antral PDGFRA cells. PDGFRA sub-epithelial myofibroblasts are principal sources of BMP ligands in both gastric segments; two molecularly distinct groups distribute asymmetrically along antral glands but together fail to support epithelial organoids . In contrast, strategically positioned PDGFRA cells that express CD55 enable corpus and antral organoid growth in the absence of other cellular or soluble factors. Our study provides detailed insights into spatial, molecular, and functional organization of gastric mesenchyme and the spectrum of signaling sources for stem cell support.

Ovaries are of paramount importance in reproduction as they produce female gametes through a complex developmental process known as folliculogenesis. In the prospect of better understanding the mechanisms of folliculogenesis and of developing novel pharmacological approaches to control it, it is important to accurately and quantitatively assess the later stages of ovarian folliculogenesis (i.e.

The study aimed to establish a long-term 3D cell culture model using luteinized follicular cells to investigate the functionality and life cycle of the CL in felids. A mixture of cell types from antral follicles was luteinized in vitro and cultured for up to 23 days. The method, initially applied to the domestic cat, was later extended to Persian and Clouded leopards.

Context Antral follicle count (AFC) is reflective of ovarian reserve and linked to reproductive performance in mammalian females. We previously demonstrated earlier upregulation of endometrial oxytocin receptor transcription in heifers with low AFC, indicating an earlier onset of luteolysis. Aims We aimed to support the earlier onset of luteolysis in non-pregnant heifers with a low number of antral ovarian follicles (Open Low AFC) and hypothesized a reduced abundance of luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LH/CG-R ) and increased abundance of thrombospondin-1 (THBS1 ) in luteal tissue of those heifers.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Shanyao (SY, yam, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, the dried rhizome of Dioscorea oppositifolia L.) was recorded in the Chinese pharmacopoeia and was often used in the treatment of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).
Aim Of Study: To evaluate the efficacy of shanyao in cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced POI and explore its potential mechanism of action.

Wnt4 signaling is critical for mammalian female sex determination, in female reproductive organ development, in follicular and oocyte maturation, and in steroid hormone production. When Wnt4 function is impaired, female embryos undergo partial female to male sex-reversal. This phenotype is associated with the expression of a set of somatic genes that are typical for the male differentiation pathways such as those of the Leydig cells.
