Ascension to the oviduct is necessary for Chlamydia to induce tubal infertility. Using the Chlamydia muridarum induction of hydrosalpinx mouse model, we have demonstrated a significant role of the uterotubal junction in preventing chlamydial ascending infection.

ABSTRACT In 1829 James Dunlop published the first southern double star catalogue of some 253 stars. The accuracy this has been determined by using Aladin to cross-match them with Gaia DR2 and estimate their positional (right ascension, declination, position angle, separation) magnitude accuracy. Seven per cent could not be identified 14 were single We found 13 stars (5 cent) currently listed in...
