Gluconeogenesis in the YSL-like tissue of cloudy catshark (Scyliorhinus torazame).

M. Shimizu, W. Takagi, Y. Sakai, I. Kayanuma, F. Furukawa

This study identifies gluconeogenic activity in the YSL-like tissue of cloudy catshark embryos, suggesting conserved yolk metabolism mechanisms between teleosts and elasmobranchs.

Low microbial abundance and community diversity within the egg capsule of the oviparous cloudy catshark (Scyliorhinus torazame) during oviposition

W. Takagi, A. Masuda, K. Shimoyama, K. Tokunaga, S. Hyodo, Y. Sato-Takabe

This study investigates the microbial environment inside the egg capsules of cloudy catsharks during oviposition, finding low bacterial density and unique microbial composition that may protect embryos from infection.

N-terminal Domain Regulates Steroid Activation of Elephant Shark Glucocorticoid and Mineralocorticoid Receptors

Y. Katsu, I. M. Shariful, X. Lin, W. Takagi, H. Urushitani, S. Kohno, S. Hyodo, M. E. Baker

The paper shows that the N-terminal domain of elephant shark GR regulates steroid activation, with functional divergence from MR.

Transcriptional Activation of Elephant Shark Mineralocorticoid Receptor by Corticosteroids, Progestins and Spironolactone

Y. Katsu, S. Kohno, K. Oka, X. Lin, S. Otake, N. E. Pillai, W. Takagi, S. Hyodo, B. Venkatesh, M. E. Baker

The paper analyzes the activation of elephant shark mineralocorticoid receptor by corticosteroids and progesterone, finding that aldosterone is absent in cartilaginous fishes and progesterone activates shark MR but not human MR.
