The Impact of COVID-19 on Gametes and Endometrium: A Narrative Review by Esra Karatas, Ali Can Gunes, Bilal Esat Temiz, Sezcan Mumusoglu, Gurkan Bozdag

“…Whereas the available data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 interferes with various types of molecular pathways in the oocyte, spermatozoa, and endometrium, the lack of co-expression in angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and transmembrane protease serine 2 in those cell lines theoretically avoid concerns by patients and reproductive endocrinologists. …”

Genotypic and Phenotypic Assessment of Hyaluronidase among Type Strains of a Select Group of Staphylococcal Species by Mark E. Hart, Morgan J. Hart, Anna J. Roop

“…These data support the hypothesis that among members of the Staphylococcus genus only strains of S. aureus possess the enzyme hyaluronidase. This would suggest that hyaluronidase represents yet another potential virulence factor employed by S. aureus to cause disease and may represent a diagnostically important characteristic for distinguishing S. aureus from other members of this genus.…”

Validation of a triiodothyronine (T3) ELISA for mouse fecal samples by Lucia M. Thompson, Brailey M. Coulter, Cinnamon L. VanPutte

“…We demonstrated that using a methanol extraction protocol produced the most reliable fecal T3 measurement in an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We found that during a thyroid hormone‐treated state, fecal and plasma T3 measurements from mice are directly related, while during a methimazole‐treated state, fecal and plasma T3 measurements from mice are inversely related. …”
