The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed illuminate evolution highly insect societies. Bumblebees also invaluable natural and agricultural pollinators, there widespread concern over recent population declines in some species. High-quality genomic data will inform key aspects bumblebee biology, including susceptibility implicated viability threats.We report high quality draft genome sequences...
Summary Reimplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue ( OT ) can successfully restore function in young cancer patients after gonadotoxic treatment. However, for with leukaemia, there is a risk malignant cell transmission. Our objective was to evaluate minimal disseminated disease from leukaemia and test follicle isolation technique obtain disease‐free suspensions. Cryopreserved 12 thawed analysed by histology long‐term xenografting immunosuppressed mice. In 10 patients, follicles were...
STUDY QUESTIONDo primordial-primary versus secondary follicles embedded inside a fibrin matrix have different capabilities to survive and grow after isolation transplantation?
Cuticle renewal is a complex biological process that depends on the cross talk between hormone levels and gene expression. This study characterized expression of two genes encoding cuticle proteins sharing four conserved amino acid blocks Tweedle family, AmelTwdl1 AmelTwdl2, peroxidase containing Animal haem domain, Ampxd, in honey bee. Gene sequencing annotation validated formerly predicted tweedle genes, revealed novel gene, bee genome. Expression these was studied context...
What is the risk of finding malignant cells in cryopreserved ovarian tissue from sarcoma patients? Minimal disseminated disease (MDD) was not detected frozen-thawed 26 patients by any sensitive methods applied. In case leukemia, cell transmission through graft well known and widely documented. However, for bone cancer, like Ewing or osteosarcoma, only a small number reports, have been published. These cancers often affect prepubertal girls, whom cryopreservation transplantation option to...
Abstract Background The insect exoskeleton provides shape, waterproofing, and locomotion via attached somatic muscles. is renewed during molting, a process regulated by ecdysteroid hormones. holometabolous pupa transforms into an adult the imaginal molt, when epidermis synthe3sizes definitive that then differentiates progressively. An important issue in development concerns how exoskeletal regions are constructed to provide their morphological, physiological mechanical functions. We used...
Differences in the timing of exoskeleton melanization and sclerotization are evident when comparing eusocial solitary bees. This cuticular maturation heterochrony may be associated with life style, considering that bees remain protected inside nest for many days after emergence, while immediately start outside activities. To address this issue, we characterized gene expression using large-scale RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), quantified hydrocarbon (CHC) through gas chromatography-mass...
Objective Detection of nerve fibers in endometrial biopsies was recently proposed as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for endometriosis. However, their occurrence the functional layer endometrium still remains controversial. Nerve were found to be present endometriotic lesions themselves, which may account some pain experienced by patients, but origin is not clear. The objective study reevaluate presence and different types lesions. Patients Methods fiber density (PGP9.5 immunohistochemical...
Abstract Background Much of the complex anatomy a holometabolous insect is built from disc-shaped epithelial structures found inside larva, i.e., imaginal discs, which undergo rapid differentiation during metamorphosis. Imaginal discs-derived structures, like wings, are through action genes under precise regulation. Results We analyzed 30 honeybee transcriptomes in search for gene expression needed wings and thoracic dorsum construction larval wing discs primordia. Analyses were carried out...
Expression profile of a Laccase2 encoding gene during the metamorphic molt in Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera, Apidae). Metamorphosis holometabolous insects occurs through two subsequent molting cycles: pupation (metamorphic molt) and adult differentiation (imaginal molt). The imaginal L. was recently investigated both histological physiological-molecular approaches. Although this model bee is extremely important to development, it not well-known yet. In current study we used stage as an...
