Open AccessLineage tracing of mutant granulosa cells reveals in vivo protective mechanisms that prevent granulosa cell tumorigenesis
Ovarian granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) originate from granulosa cells (GCs) and represent the most common sex cord-stromal tumor in humans. However, the developmental regulations and molecular mechanisms underly...

Open AccessThe efficacy and safety of temperature controlled dual-mode radiofrequency in women with vaginal laxity
Vaginal laxity could negatively influence women’s sexual function. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of temperature controlled dual-mode (monopolar and bipolar) radiofrequency (RF) in women w...

Who Should We Choose to Sacrifice, Self or Pedestrian? Evaluating Moral Decision-Making in Virtual Reality
Ethical issues surrounding autonomous vehicles (AVs) have emerged as a classic topic in academic circles. When an AV faces a situation with inevitable casualties, how can the machine make the most ethical deci...

Open AccessHDAC3 maintains oocyte meiosis arrest by repressing amphiregulin expression before the LH surge
It is known that granulosa cells (GCs) mediate gonadotropin-induced oocyte meiosis resumption by releasing EGF-like factors in mammals, however, the detailed molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demon...

Open AccessNatriuretic peptides improve the developmental competence of in vitro cultured porcine oocytes
Natriuretic peptides (NPs), brain and C type NPs (BNP and CNP), were involved in the maintenance of porcine oocyte meiotic arrest. The present study investigated the effects of NPs on developmental competence ...

Open AccessEstrogen receptors in granulosa cells govern meiotic resumption of pre-ovulatory oocytes in mammals
In mammals, oocytes are arrested at the diplotene stage of meiosis I until the pre-ovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) surge triggers meiotic resumption through the signals in follicular granulosa cells. In thi...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Processing Own- and Other-Race Faces
Most adults have more experience in identifying faces of their own race than in identifying faces from another race, and thus may be considered as own-race face experts. This effect was investigated by recordi...
