Lipocalin‐2 as a fundamental protein in type 2 diabetes and periodontitis in mice

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lipocalin‐2 (LCN‐2) is an osteokine that suppresses appetite, stimulates insulin secretion, regulates bone remodeling, and is induced by proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of this work was to investigate the participation of LCN‐2 in periodontitis associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) by evaluating alveolar bone loss, glycemic ...

A new preclinical sheep model of medial meniscus anterior root repair: Part 1—Quantitative morphology and relationships to adjacent structures

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To analyse the quantitative morphology of the menisci, their roots and relations with a focus on the medial meniscus anterior root (MAR) as a basis for a preclinical model. Methods Data was obtained from 24 tibial plateaus of skeletally mature, female Merino ewes. The MAR attachment (MARA) was scanned with micro‐computed tomography and

Bioelectronic Hydrogels: Exemplifying the Synergy Between Biopolymers and Conjugated Polymers

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review aims to highlight the benefits of biopolymer‐based conductive hydrogels as soft bioelectronics for biointerface applications. Biopolymers deliver biocompatibility, commercial availability, low cost, and sustainability, whereas conjugated polymers provide electronic conductivity.

Effects of Quercetin Metabolites on Glucose‐Dependent Lipid Accumulation in 3T3‐L1 Adipocytes

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Quercetin metabolites (QMs), found in foods like fruits and vegetables, can influence how fat cells process fats and sugars. This study shows that QMs help reduce fat storage and sugar uptake in fat cells when sugar levels are high. Under conditions mimicking caloric restriction, they boost sugar use for energy.

PGC‐1α Activation by Polyphenols: A Pathway to Thermogenesis

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Polyphenols, derived from dietary sources such as berries, undergo digestion and interact with gut microbiota, leading to their metabolization in the liver. This process influences bile acid composition, which in turn activates PGC1α, a key regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and thermogenesis.

TransAnaNet: Transformer‐based anatomy change prediction network for head and neck cancer radiotherapy

Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) can compensate for the dosimetric impact of anatomic change during radiotherapy of head–neck cancer (HNC) patients. However, implementing ART universally poses challenges in clinical workflow and resource allocation, given the variability in patient response and the constraints of available resources ...

Exploring the Grammatical Complexity of International Teaching Assistants: A Comparative Corpus Study

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyze the grammatical complexity features of international teaching assistants' (ITAs) mock‐teaching presentations and to compare the distributions of these features to those found in the Oral English Proficiency Test (a local ITA assessment), university classroom teaching, conversation, and academic writing ...

Photoperiod influences visceral adiposity and the adipose molecular clock independent of temperature in wild‐derived Peromyscus leucopus

FASEB BioAdvances, EarlyView.
Physiology is closely synchronized to daily and seasonal light/dark cycles. Wild‐derived white‐footed mice were housed in long‐day (LD – 16L:8D) or short‐day (SD – 8L:16D) photoperiods at thermoneutrality (27°C). LD selectively increased visceral WAT mass and decreased Adrβ3 and Ucp1 expression while inducing misalignment of clock genes compared to SD.
