The Gluon Sivers Distribution: Status and Future Prospects by Daniël Boer, Cédric Lorcé, Cristian Pisano, Jian Zhou

“…Several very promising processes to measure the gluon Sivers effect directly have been suggested, which besides RHIC investigations, would strongly favor experiments at AFTER@LHC and a possible future Electron-Ion Collider. Due to the inherent process dependence of TMDs, the gluon Sivers TMD probed in the various processes are different linear combinations of two universal gluon Sivers functions that have different behavior under charge conjugation and that therefore satisfy different theoretical constraints. …”

Phenogenetics of cortical granule dynamics during zebrafish oocyte-to-embryo transition by Priscila García-Castro, Isabella Giambó-Falian, Ingrid Carvacho, Ricardo Fuentes

“…The evidence shows that immature oocytes often fail to prevent polyspermy due to ineffective CG exocytosis, attributed to impaired intracellular calcium increases, lower content of this ion, and incomplete CG migration. The study of how genetic variations lead to observable phenotypes (phenogenetics) during the oocyte-to-embryo transition, have identified several maternal-effect genes in zebrafish involved in CG behavior. …”
