Revelation of ZnS Nanoparticles Induces Follicular Atresia and Apoptosis in the Ovarian Preovulatory Follicles in the Catfish Mystus tengara (Hamilton, 1822) by Nilanjana Chatterjee, Baibaswata Bhattacharjee

“…Due to exposure at relatively lower concentration of ZnS NPs (250 μg/L), most of the maturing follicles of M. tengara failed to complete the process of vitellogenesis properly and underwent preovulatory atresia followed by oocytic apoptosis. For relatively higher concentration of ZnS nanoparticles (500 μg/L), the previtellogenic process continued with increasing number of apoptotic cells; however the vitellogenic process was found to be totally blocked. …”

Spatial Transcriptome and Single Nucleus Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals Tetrahydroxy Stilbene Glucoside Promotes Ovarian Organoids Development Through the Vegfa‐Ephb2 Pair by Chunlan Mu, Xiaoyong Li, Jiamei Yang, Geng G. Tian, Hepeng Bai, Wenhui Lin, Linhui Wang, Ji Wu

“…This analysis indicates that TSG promotes ovarian organoid development through the vascular endothelial growth factor A‐Eph receptor B2 ligand‐receptor pair between granulosa cells and oocytes. This study has enhanced the understanding of the mechanisms of ovarian organoid development, establishes a technical platform for screening compounds for treating infertility and related diseases, and lays a foundation for clinically applying plant‐derived compounds.…”

Idiopathic Central Precocious Puberty Associated with 11 Mb De Novo Distal Deletion of the Chromosome 9 Short Arm by Mariangela Cisternino, Erika Della Mina, Laura Losa, Alexandra Madè, Giulia Rossetti, Lorenzo Andrea Bassi, Giovanni Pieri, Baran Bayindir, Jole Messa, Orsetta Zuffardi, Roberto Ciccone

“…In our case, more than 40 genes were encompassed in the deleted region, among which, DMRT1 which is gonad-specific and has a sexually dimorphic expression pattern and ERMP1 which is required in rats for the organization of somatic cells and oocytes into discrete follicular structures. Although we cannot exclude that precocious puberty in our del(9p) patient is a coincidental finding, the report of the other two patients with 9p deletions and precocious puberty indeed suggests a causative relationship.…”
