Key Clinical Message: Yolk sac tumors are rare and malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary occurring in children and young women. Fertility-sparing surgical intervention with adjuvant chemotherapy has shown to improve prognosis.
Abstract: We present a case of a 14-year-old girl who presented with the complaints of lower abdominal pain and distention. Her tumor markers were increased, and radiological investigation suggested the diagnosis of malignant left ovarian mass. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of Yolk sac tumor. She was subsequently managed with fertility-sparing surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy.

As a representative agent of bicyclic antidepressants, venlafaxine (VEN) has become widely used worldwide and is frequently detected in surface waters with concentrations ranging from ng/L to µg/L. To evaluate the toxicological effects of such medications on aquatic species, studies on environmentally relevant concentrations are essential. Zebrafish were used as a model organism to assess growth and development in larvae and examine tissue accumulation, oxidative stress, and DNA methylation in adults.

Bird contour feathers exhibit a complex hierarchical structure composed of a rachis, barbs, and barbules, with barbules playing a crucial role in maintaining feather structure and function. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying barbule formation is essential for advancing our knowledge of avian biology and evolution. In this study, we identified a novel gene, pennaceous barbule cell factor (PBCF), using microarray analysis, RT-PCR, and in situ hybridization.

Reichert's membrane (RM) is a basement membrane of gigantic proportions that surrounds the mammalian embryo following implantation. It is part of the parietal yolk sac, which originates from the wall of the preimplantation blastocyst. RM persists from implantation to birth in rodents and analogous structures occur in other mammals, including primates.

Abamectin is an insecticide, miticide and nematicide that has been extensively used in agriculture for many years. The excessive use of abamectin inevitably pollutes water and soil and might even cause adverse effects on aquatic biota. However, it is currently unclear how abamectin exposure causes neurotoxicity in aquatic organisms.
