Comparison of testicular cell population indexes in normal dogs using fine needle aspiration and imprint techniques by Kamali, Arash

“…The mean of the testicular cell population indexes for FNA versus imprint samples are as follow: sperm index (SI): 40.54 vs. 23.11, Sertoli cell index (SEI): 8.83 vs. 5.11,Sperm-Sertoli cell index (SSEI): 7.20 vs. 6.69, late spermatid index (LSI): 33.55 vs. 27,early spermatid index (ESI): 23.09 vs.42.77 and spermatocyte index (SPI): 2.61 vs.7.08.All testicular cell population indexes were significantly (P< 0.05) different between FNA and imprints, except for SSEI. …”

Epigenetic control of CD1D expression as a mechanism of resistance to immune checkpoint therapy in poorly immunogenic melanomas by Mona Meng Wang, Mona Meng Wang, Saara A. Koskela, Arfa Mehmood, Miriam Langguth, Eleftheria Maranou, Carlos R. Figueiredo, Carlos R. Figueiredo

“…Methylation reactions in the TME of melanoma impact the expression of B2M and SPI1, which controls CD1D expression. These findings suggest that epigenetic changes in the TME of melanoma may impact β2M and CD1d-mediated functions, such as antigen presentation for T cells and NKT cells. …”

Transcriptional Sequencing Uncovers Survival Mechanisms of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Salmonella enterica</named-content> Serovar Enteritidis in Antibacterial Egg... by Xiaozhen Huang, Xiujuan Zhou, Ben Jia, Nuo Li, Jingya Jia, Mu He, Yichen He, Xiaojie Qin, Yan Cui, Chunlei Shi, Yanhong Liu, Xianming Shi

“…RNA-Seq analysis of the transcriptome of Salmonella survival in egg white showed that a considerable number of genes involved in DNA damage repair, alkaline pH adaptation, osmotic stress adaptation, envelope damage repair, Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI-2), iron absorption, and biotin synthesis were significantly upregulated (fold change ≥ 2) in egg white, indicating that these pathways or genes might be critical for bacterial survival. …”
