Decoding Vitellogenin Subtype Responses: A Molecular Approach to Biomarkers of Endocrine Disruption in <i>Scatophagus argus</i> by Meiqin Wu, Jun Zhang, Di Wu, Amina S. Moss, Weilong Wang

“…Differential expression analysis revealed that <i>vtgAb</i> exhibited the highest responsiveness to 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) exposure, with a 3-fold increase in vivo at 10.0 μg/g EE2 and a 30-fold increase in vitro at 10⁻⁷ mol/L EE2. The expression patterns were dose- and time-dependent, with peak expression observed 72 h post-exposure. …”

Physicians’ moral distinctions between medical assistance in dying (MAiD) and withdrawing life-sustaining treatment in Canada: a qualitative descriptive study by Midori Matthew, Kieran Bonner, Andrew Stumpf

“…Results Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 physicians, and the transcripts were thematically analyzed to identify common patterns and divergences in their perspectives. Three core themes were found: (1) consensus on MAiD’s moral equivalence with WLT despite differences between the practice, (2) discord regarding the use of the term ‘killing’, and (3) disjuncture between bioethical debates and practice. …”

The problem of conservation of gene pools of domesticated animals by Yu. A. Stolpovskiy, I. A. Zakharov-Gezekhus

“…The arguments in favor of preserving local breeds are: 1) economic factors, such as moderation of quality requirements for food products, moderation of hygienic and climatic conditions (new types of diseases, vaccines, changes in the external environment), necessity to keep a reserve for successful breeding, opportunity to use local breeds in harsh environmental conditions; 2) scientific factors, in particular, possibility of studying the gene pool of local breeds in order to reconstruct the evolution of domesticated species (exploring local breeds can reveal the mechanisms of the evolutionary processes, ontogeny, behavior patterns, natural and artificial selection); 3) cultural and historical factors related to the fact that native breeds represent living monuments of traditional culture of the population. …”
