Researchers identified challenges in understanding sweet potato storage root initiation, suggesting further investigation of hormone signaling and prioritizing candidate genes from other crops.
Genetic variations in thyroid cancer, called SNPs, can help diagnose, predict outcomes, and develop personalized treatments for patients with this common endocrine tumor.
This study investigates floral mutants in barley and identifies two genes, HvSL1 and HvMADS16, that play key roles in stamen development. Understanding these pathways can help improve crop breeding.
Baicalin, a compound found in certain plants, has shown potential in improving polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal and metabolic disorder in women.
Study on quails reveals Withania somnifera root extract increases estrogen, decreases corticosterone, reduces neuronal apoptosis, and oxidative stress. Prolonged light exposure causes apoptosis and stress, but WS root extract reverses these effects through increased estrogen and ERα expression.
This study investigates the effects of A. cepa on ovarian torsion in rats, focusing on tissue fibrosis and adhesions caused by I/R damage.
This study found that substituting soybean meal with faba bean improved reproductive performance and did not affect sperm quality in Queue Fine de l'Ouest rams.
Scientists developed a highly sensitive sensor using gold nanoparticles and graphene to detect bisphenol A in different environments. The sensor showed accurate responses and can help assess risks associated with exposure to this endocrine-disrupting compound.
