Recent Advances in Application of Male Germ Cell Transplantation in Farm Animals by Ali Honaramooz, Yanfei Yang

“…Therefore, this system represents a major development in the study of spermatogenesis and a unique functional assay to determine the developmental potential and relative abundance of spermatogonial stem cells in a given population of testis cells. The application of this method in farm animals has been the subject of an increasing number of studies, mostly because of its potential as an alternative strategy in producing transgenic livestock with higher efficiency and less time and capital requirement than the current methods. …”

Hypothesis: glyphosate-based herbicides can increase risk of hematopoietic malignancies through extended persistence in bone by Charles M. Benbrook

“…A novel two-part hypothesis is explored: first, the likely reason for the lack of variability in GLY levels in urine is that GLY stored in bone is excreted gradually over days to weeks, and augments the generally stable and modest levels of dietary exposure to GLY; and second, the prolonged systemic movement of GLY into bone marrow and bone extends contact between GLY and hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), increasing the risk of GLY-induced breaks and rearrangements in the DNA in HSCs. …”
