The objectives of the present study were to determine if β-NGF is present in the reproductive tract of the stallion and identify the specific site(s) of production. The hypotheses were that β-NGF would be present in the stallion reproductive tract and would primarily be localized in Sertoli cells of the testes and the prostate gland. Immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded paraformaldehyde-fixed tissues was performed using a rabbit polyclonal anti-β-NGF antibody on a total of six male equine reproductive tracts, including a one-day old colt, a one-year-old colt, and four adult stallion tracts. Strong immunostaining was observed in the efferent ducts of the testes and the epithelial cells of the prostate, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, and ampullae. Weaker β-NGF staining was noted in Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, and spermatogonia within the testes and in epithelial cells of the epididymis.

We have recently demonstrated that bee pollen and bee bread represent suitable biological material for the molecular identification of viral RNA. In the present study, we extracted total RNA from different bee products (pollen, n = 25; bee bread, n = 17; and royal jelly, n = 15). All the samples were tested for the presence of six of the most common honey bee-associated viruses-Deformed wing virus (DWV), Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), Chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV), Sacbrood virus (SBV), Kashmir bee virus (KBV), and Black queen cell virus (BQCV)-using a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). We successfully detected six records of DWV (10.5%, 6/57), four of ABPV (7.0%, 4/57), three of Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV) (5.3%, 3/57), and two of BQCV (3.5%, 2/57). Using ABPV primers, we also successfully detected the presence of IAPV. The obtained viral sequences were analyzed for phylogenetic relationships with the highly similar sequences (megablast) available in the GenBank database. The Bulgarian DWV isolates revealed a high homology level with strains from Syria and Turkey. Moreover, we successfully detected a DWV strain B for the first time in Bulgaria. In contrast to DWV, the ABPV isolates formed a separate clade in the phylogenetic tree. BQCV was closely grouped with Russian isolates, while Bulgarian IAPV formed its own clade and included a strain from China.

In this study, 20 healthy adult lion-head geese were randomly assigned to a control group (CONTROL, n = 10) and high-intake-fed group (CASE, n = 10).

Although STSs represent a class of rare tumors, especially in humans, they pose significant clinical challenges due to their potential for local recurrence and distant metastasis. Dogs, as a model for human STSs, offer several advantages, including exposure to similar environmental risk factors, genetic diversity among breeds, and the spontaneous development of tumors. Furthermore, canine tumors closely mimic the heterogeneity and complexity of human tumors, making them valuable for research into disease progression and treatment effectiveness. Current treatment approaches for STSs in both dogs and humans primarily involve surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, with treatment decisions based on tumor characteristics and patient factors. However, the development of novel therapeutic strategies is essential, given the high failure rate of new drugs in clinical trials. To better design new tailored treatments, comprehension of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is fundamental, since it plays a crucial role in STS initiation and progression by modulating tumor behavior, promoting angiogenesis, and suppressing immune responses. Notably, TME features include cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), extracellular matrix (ECM) alterations, and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that, depending on their polarization state, can affect immune responses and thus the patient's prognosis. In this review, new therapeutical approaches based on immunotherapy will be deeply explored as potential treatment options for both dogs and humans with STSs.
