Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) can directly suppress basic ovarian cell functions in two farm animal species and protect ovarian cells from the proliferation-stimulating influence of xylene.

Chia seed extract reduced markers of cell function in bovine and porcine ovarian cells. Xylene stimulated proliferation and hormones release but chia mitigated its effects on cell proliferation. Chia could be a natural protector against xylene's effects on ovarian cells.

Synaptoporin and parathyroid hormone 2 as markers of multimodal inputs to the auditory brainstem.

Researchers investigated the distribution of the synaptic vesicle protein synaptoporin in the mouse brainstem. They found region-specific differences in its accumulation, with higher levels in areas known to receive extra-auditory inputs. They also identified synaptoporin-positive synapses in the auditory system and traced their origin to the medial paralemniscal nucleus, which uses parathyroid hormone 2 as a transmitter. The study suggests that different inputs work together in the superior olivary complex.
