DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-53111-w
Abstract: Although biologists have described biofluorescence in a diversity of taxa, there have been few systematic efforts to document the extent of biofluorescence within a taxonomic group or investigate its general significance. Through a field survey… read more here.

Immunolocalization of Aquaporin 1, 2, and 9 in Anuran Testis of the Neotropical Pointedbelly Frog Leptodactylus podicipinus
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Current Issues in Molecular Biology"
DOI: 10.3390/cimb46090594
Abstract: Many anuran survival strategies involve hydric regulation, and reproduction is not different. The aquaporin (AQP) family plays an important role in water transport and regulation in many tissues, including the male gonad. The testes undergo… read more here.
