Can Humanity Thrive Beyond the Galaxy? by Sayaka WAKAYAMA, Teruhiko WAKAYAMA

“…For example, when humans begin living and reproducing in space habitats or on other planets in the solar system, are there risks that future generations may suffer from adverse mutations induced by space radiation, or that embryos and fetuses will develop abnormally in gravitational environments that differ from that of Earth? …”

Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients: A Review by Tosin Ajala, Junaid Rafi, Peter Larsen-Disney, Richard Howell

“…Oncologists must be aware of situations where their treatment will affect fertility in patients who are being treated for cancer and they must also be aware of the pathways available for procedures such as cryopreservation of gametes and/or embryos. Improved cancer care associated with increased cure rates and long term survival, coupled with advances in fertility treatment means that it is now imperative that fertility preservation is considered as part of the care offered to these patients. …”

CRMP2 and CRMP4 Are Differentially Required for Axon Guidance and Growth in Zebrafish Retinal Neurons by Zhi-Zhi Liu, Jian Zhu, Chang-Ling Wang, Xin Wang, Ying-Ying Han, Ling-Yan Liu, Hong A. Xu

“…Collapsin response mediator proteins (CRMPs) are a family of intracellular proteins that have been found to mediate growth cone behavior in vitro; however, their roles in vivo in axon development are much less explored. In zebrafish embryos, we find that CRMP2 and CRMP4 are expressed in the retinal ganglion cell layer when retinal axons are crossing the midline. …”
