Abstract Copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) are a new pollutant in aquaculture, representing a
hazard to aquatic organisms. We investigated the effects of Cu NPs exposure on oxidative …

Fatty liver is widely observed during Takifugu fasciatus production, but the mechanisms
underlying fatty liver formation remain unknown. The present study was conducted to …

To elucidate the complex physiological process of testis development and spermatogenesis
in Sika deer, this study evaluated the changes of miRNA and mRNA profiles in the four …

Abstract Copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) are water pollutants, which has significant toxic
environmental effects. However, the effects of Cu-NPs on Takifugu fasciatus are still …

Piwi interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are involved in the epigenetic and post-transcriptional gene
silencing of retrotransposons in germ line cells, especially in spermatogenesis. There are …

DNA methylation is an important way to regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. In order to
reveal the role of DNA methylation in the regulation of germ cell-specific piwi gene …

Piwi is necessary for germ cell development in a diverse range of organisms and
homologues have been commonly used to identify primordial germ cells (PGCs) during …

PIWI family member piwil1, which associates with Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA), is

Objective To investigate the potential correlation between piwi-like RNA-mediated gene
silencing 1 (PIWIL1) polymorphisms and susceptibility to epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) …

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a deadly neurotoxin and usually accumulates in large amounts in the
ovaries but is non-toxic or low toxic in the testis of pufferfish. The molecular mechanism …
