Role of DOCK2 and DOCK180 in fetal thymus colonization.

29 Sep 2009 Fetal thymus colonization is initiated before the vascularization of the thymus primordium. This prevascular colonization of the fetal thymus by T-lymphoid progenitor cells is guided by the coordination of CCR7- and CCR9-mediated chemokine signals. ... Read more...

Stress and obesity: the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in metabolic disease.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Chronic stress, combined with positive energy balance, may be a contributor to the increased risk for obesity, especially upper body obesity, and other metabolic diseases. This association may be mediated by alterations in the ... Read more...

Effects of primary testicular damage on sperm DNA oxidative status and embryonic and foetal development.

29 Sep 2009 We evaluated the development of embryos generated from the fertilisation of oocytes with spermatozoa isolated from animals with primary testicular damage (PTD). Embryos derived in vivo or in vitro from oocytes fertilised with spermatozoa produced by ... Read more...
