Article Synopsis
- - A study conducted in southwestern Slovakia (Levice, Bratislava, Stupava, and Vrbovce) during 2021-2022 collected 512 ticks from 51 wild mammals across six species.
- - The research identified eight different tick species, with notable findings from northern white-breasted hedgehogs, red foxes, and European badgers using both morphological and molecular techniques.
- - The study confirmed the first detection of a specific tick species in Slovakia, with molecular analyses showing that the Slovakian isolate is identical to those found in several other European countries like Romania, Poland, and Germany.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how transcription factor p53 and the hormone leptin influence ovarian cell functions such as growth, cell death, and hormone secretion.
- The results showed that increasing p53 levels led to higher apoptosis markers and reduced cell proliferation and progesterone secretion.
- Leptin independently increased p53 and apoptosis-related markers while decreasing proliferation but did not directly affect progesterone secretion; however, it altered the effects of p53 on cell functions.
