Open AccessGene knockout of nuclear progesterone receptor provides insights into the regulation of ovulation by LH signaling in zebrafish
It is well established that the luteinizing hormone surge triggers ovulation, a dynamic process leading to the release of the mature oocyte from the ovarian follicle. But how this process controlled by LH sign...

Open AccessHeterophase-structured nanocrystals as superior supports for Ru-based catalysts in selective hydrogenation of benzene
ZrO2 heterophase structure nanocrystals (HSNCs) were synthesized with tunable ratios of monoclinic ZrO2 (m-ZrO2) to tetragonal ZrO2 (t-ZrO2). The phase mole ratio of m-ZrO2 versus t-ZrO2 in ZrO2 HSNCs was tuned f...
