Temperature-dependent toxicity and mechanisms of florfenicol on the embryonic development of marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) by Xingying Guo, Xu Gong, Jinhui Wang, Tan-Duc Nguyen, Syed Shabi Ul Hassan Kazmi, Jiezhang Mo, Feng Hua, Wenhua Liu, Zhen Wang

“…This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects and potential mechanisms of florfenicol (0.5, 10, 100, 500 and 1000 μg/L) on the embryonic development of marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) through 21-d experiment under three temperature exposure scenarios (20, 25, and 30 °C). Considering embryo development, the highest level of florfenicol at 1000 μg/L decreased the hatching success at 25 °C, whereas the total inhibition of hatching was observed at 20 °C regardless of florfenicol concentrations of concern. …”

Comparison of vaginal versus intramuscular progesterone in programmed cycles for frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer in patients with endometriosis by Ziqi Jin, Guoxia Yang, Tianrui Wen, Benyu Miao, Chen Wang, Qingyan Zhang, Fang Gu, Yanwen Xu

“…Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that due to the presence of endometrium progesterone resistance in patients with endometriosis, it is considered that higher levels of progesterone may be required to achieve live birth during programmed frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Currently, the optimal progesterone support in FET cycles remains a contentious issue, and it mainly focused on the general infertile population, without specific attention to infertile patients with endometriosis. …”

Biointegration of soft tissue-inspired hydrogels on the chorioallantoic membrane: An experimental characterization by Manuel P. Kainz, Mathias Polz, Daniel Ziesel, Marta Nowakowska, Muammer Üçal, Sabine Kienesberger, Sophie Hasiba-Pappas, Raimund Winter, Nassim Ghaffari Tabrizi-Wizsy, Sarah Kager, Theresa Rienmüller, Julia Fuchs, Michele Terzano, Christian Baumgartner, Gerhard A. Holzapfel

“…Histological analyses revealed cell infiltration in 100% of soft, 75% of intermediate, and 13% of dense hydrogels, suggesting that softer hydrogels integrate better into the CAM by facilitating cell migration and enhancing interface strength. Chicken embryo survival rates and cytotoxicity assays confirmed the biocompatibility of the hydrogels and supported their potential for use in soft, hydrated three-dimensional scaffolds that mimic tissue environments in dynamic biological systems.Statement of significance Current research on soft scaffold materials for cell cultures often overlooks the critical relationship between mechanical properties and biological integration of these materials with host tissues. …”
