Testicular interstitial cells, and steroidogenic detection in the protogynous fish, Synbranchus marmoratus (Teleostei, Synbranchidae).
The swamp eel, Synbranchus marmoratus, is a freshwater protogynic diandric species. Primary males develop directly as males while secondary males arise from the sex reversal of females. Fishes from Argentine and Brazil inland waters were collected, examined and compared for this study. In order to characterize the interstitial testicular compartment, light and electron microscopy techniques and...
متن کاملTreg cells to the rescue.
In this issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism, Kong and colleagues report that collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), can be effectively treated by systemic injection of Treg cells (1). These results raise several questions: Are there defects in Treg cell numbers or function in RA? How should Treg cells be collected, generated, or expanded for use in the treatme...
متن کاملEstrogen dependence of a gonadotropin-induced steroidogenic lesion in rat testicular Leydig cells.
Leydig cells isolated from the testes of rats treated with intravenous exogenous gonadotropin (hCG) or subcutaneous gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) show markedly decreased luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors and a partial block in testicular 17,20 desmolase activity. In contrast, Leydig cells from animals with equivalent degrees of LH receptor loss induced by subcutaneous hCG treatment sho...
متن کاملAutochthonous T cells to the rescue
Successful cancer immunotherapy is thought to require de novo priming of tumor specific CD8(+) T cells in lymphatic organs. Contrasting these beliefs, cancer therapy based on interleukin-10 (IL-10) results in tumor rejection without a requirement for T-cell trafficking from lymphatic organs. Rather, IL-10 directly activates autochthonous, tumor-resident CD8(+) T cells.
متن کاملGenetic rescue to the rescue.
Genetic rescue can increase the fitness of small, imperiled populations via immigration. A suite of studies from the past decade highlights the value of genetic rescue in increasing population fitness. Nonetheless, genetic rescue has not been widely applied to conserve many of the threatened populations that it could benefit. In this review, we highlight recent studies of genetic rescue and pla...
