There are roughly 600 million worldwide, with an estimated 80% being feral or strays, according to the , a nonprofit that promotes animal welfare. The shot works by delivering a gene into a female cat's muscle cells, which triggers the production of a substance called anti-Müllerian hormone. This disrupts the development of egg follicles inside the feline's ovaries, preventing ovulation, the release of mature eggs that could be fertilized, according to a study published June 6 in the journal . Ovulation is also associated with mate-seeking behaviors in cats.

The CHOOSE system, an innovative approach combining brain organoids and genetics, transforms autism research by allowing detailed analysis of mutations and their effects on brain development. Does the human brain have an Achilles heel that ultimately leads to Autism? With a revolutionizing novel system that combines brain organoid technology and intricate genetics, researchers can now comprehensively test the effect of multiple mutations in parallel and at a single-cell level within human brain organoids.
