TL;DR: Results suggest that, in addition to being actively involved in bacterial clearance, fish phagocytic granulocytes play a role in the initiation and support of the adaptive immune response.

TL;DR: It is found that the proliferation of spermatogonia increases during resting when, unexpectedly, both oogonia and oocytes also proliferate, suggesting that complex mechanisms operate in the regulation of gonocyte proliferation in hermaphrodite fish.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated by analytical size-exclusion chromatography that sbTNFα is an oligomeric protein but the dimer appears to predominate over the trimeric form, in contrast to mammalian TNFα.

TL;DR: The combination of LPS and VaDNA was found to be synergistic, suggesting that each ligand is recognized by a different pattern recognition receptor, and addition of extracellular ATP does not promote IL-1beta secretion by immune cells and fails to induce phosphatidylserine flip.

TL;DR: The most relevant result of this study was that E2 accelerates the final events of spermatogenesis, inhibits the proliferation of s permatogonia in early stages, and induces some of the processes that usually occur during postspawning, such as the infiltration of acidophilic granulocytes and the apoptosis of primary sperMatogonia.
