Testis differentiation requires high levels of proliferation of progenitor cells that give rise to two cell lineages forming the testis, the Sertoli and the Leydig cells. Hence defective cell cycling leads to testicular dysgenesis that has profound effects on androgen

Scabies is a parasitic skin disease endemic in resource-poor communities in low-income countries. The best ways to diagnose scabies in this setting have not been investigated. To compare the diagnostic properties of dermoscopy, the microscopic examination of a skin scraping
Exposure to arsenic in its inorganic form, arsenite, causes adverse effects to many different organs and tissues. Here, we have investigated arsenite-induced adverse effects on vascular tissues in the model organism zebrafish, Danio rerio. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to arsenite
