High expression of CFTR in cumulus cells from mature oocytes is associated with high-quality of oocyte and subsequent embryonic development
The purpose of this study was to explore the association of expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in cumulus cells (CCs) from mature oocytes with oocyte quality and embryonic...

Open AccessFollicle stimulating hormone promotes production of renin through its receptor in juxtaglomerular cells of kidney
Post-menopausal hypertension has been attributed solely to declining estrogen levels. The purpose of the research is to elucidate the mechanism by which follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) increases renin produc...

Open AccessHigh Maternal Serum Estradiol in First Trimester of Multiple Pregnancy Contributes to Small for Gestational Age via DNMT1-Mediated CDKN1C Upregulation
High maternal serum estradiol (E2) levels in the first trimester of pregnancy are associated with a high incidence of low birth weight (LBW) and small for gestational age (SGA). This study aimed to investigate th...

Structure and Characteristics of Lignin
Lignin contributes up to 30% of lignocellulosic biomass by weight and provides an alternative renewable source of aromatic chemicals. However, it has not been exploited effectively due to its natural complexit...

Transdimensional Bayesian inversion of time-domain airborne EM data
To reduce the dependence of EM inversion on the choice of initial model and to obtain the global minimum, we apply transdimensional Bayesian inversion to time-domain airborne electromagnetic data. The transdim...

Open AccessInvolvement of Cl−/HCO3− exchanger SLC26A3 and SLC26A6 in preimplantation embryo cleavage
Bicarbonate (HCO3−) is essential for preimplantation embryo development. However, the mechanism underlying the HCO3− transport into the embryo remains elusive. In the present study, we examined the possible invol...

CFTR mediates bicarbonate-dependent activation of miR-125b in preimplantation embryo development
Although HCO3− is known to be required for early embryo development, its exact role remains elusive. Here we report that HCO3− acts as an environmental cue in regulating miR-125b expression through CFTR-mediated ...

Open AccessCo action of CFTR and AQP1 increases permeability of peritoneal epithelial cells on estrogen-induced ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome
Ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic complication associated with fertility drugs. It is characterized by increased vascular permeability and substantial fluid shift with accumulation in ...
