Functional characterisation of the maturation of the blood-brain barrier in larval zebrafish. by Angeleen Fleming, Heike Diekmann, Paul Goldsmith

“…Studies have shown that Claudin-5 and ZO-1, tight-junction proteins which are essential for blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity in mammals, can be detected in some cerebral vessels in zebrafish from 3 days post-fertilisation (d.p.f.) onwards and this timing coincides with the retention of dyes, immunoreactive tracers and fluorescent markers within some but not all cerebral vessels. …”

Changes in the trophic status of lakes in the Suwałki Landscape Park (NE Poland) by Górniak Andrzej, Więcko Adam, Karpowicz Maciej

“…Unless rapidly developing cattle breeding leads to excessive fertilisation of waters in the catchment, the forecasted variability of weather conditions during global climate transformations will lead to fluctuations in the fertility of the majority of the analysed lakes at the threshold of meso- and eutrophy. …”

Comparative reproduction of the female horse, elephant and rhinoceros: implications for advancing assisted reproductive technologies by Janine Meuffels-Barkas, Sandra Wilsher, W R Twink Allen, Cyrillus Ververs, Imke Lueders

“…Since elephants and rhinoceroses share some reproductive features with equids, we postulate that procedures such as OPU, ICSI, in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET), which are well established in the horse, may represent a basis to develop protocols for endangered pachyderms. …”

Practical Application of Electrochemical Nitrate Sensor under Laboratory and Forest Nursery Conditions by William-Olivier Caron, Mohammed S. Lamhamedi, Jeff Viens, Younès Messaddeq

“…The developed sensor has been used in water-saturated growing medium and showed good correlation to certified methods, even in samples obtained over a multi-ion fertilisation season. A linear and significant relationship was observed between the resistance and the concentration of nitrates (R2 = 0.972), for a range of concentrations of nitrates. …”

RECONCEPTUALISING THE THIRD SPACE OF LEGAL TRANSLATION by Edward Clay, Karen McAuliffe

“…Due to complex internal production processes the ECJ produces texts which are undoubtedly hybrid in nature, and which exhibit distinctive features on a lexical and textual level marking them out as a product of cross-fertilisation of influences from source and target languages and legal cultures. …”

Sperm-fluid-cell interplays in the bovine oviduct: glycosaminoglycans modulate sperm binding to the isthmic reservoir by Coline Mahé, Thanya Pranomphon, Karine Reynaud, Ludivine Laffont, Thierry Meylheuc, Jennifer Schoen, Pascal Mermillod, Marie Saint-Dizier

“…Abstract When entering the oviduct for fertilisation, spermatozoa come into contact with the oviduct fluid (OF) and can bind to luminal epithelial cells in the isthmus to form a sperm reservoir. …”

Effect of lactation on oocyte quality and in vitro embryo production of Bos indicus cows by H. J. Narváez, D. Villalba, D. A. Vega

“…The reco¬vered oocytes were subjected to maturation, fertilisation, and in vitro culture. The results indicated that in lactating Gyr cows had the following values of studied variables: number of follicles visualised (22.1±11.38), number of recovered oocytes (17.4±10.21), number of grade III oocytes (7.0±5.86), rate of viable oocytes (72.1±13.11%), number of blastocysts D7 (2.5±2.26) and blastocyst rate (18.3±15.61%), in relation to non-lactating cows (27.7±11.53; 21.1±10.06; 9.8±6.08, 77.4±10.08%; 4.9±3.34; 30.2±15.41%, respectively). …”

Low genetic diversity and predation threaten a rediscovered marine sponge by Z. B. Randolph Quek, Juat Ying Ng, Sudhanshi S. Jain, J. X. Sean Long, Swee Cheng Lim, Karenne Tun, Danwei Huang

“…Recently in 2011, seven living individuals were rediscovered in Singapore with six relocated to a marine protected area in an effort to better monitor and protect the population, as well as to enhance external fertilisation success. To determine genetic diversity within the population, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes and nuclear ribosomal DNA of these six individuals and found extremely limited variability in their genes. …”
