Radiographic Screening of Wild and Semi‐Wild Cape Ground Squirrels (Geosciurus inauris) for the Presence of Peri‐Apical Masses Associated With Elodont Incisor Teeth

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
Peri‐apical masses were absent in both wild and semi‐wild Cape ground squirrels, despite dietary differences and minor incisor trauma. These findings suggest such lesions are rare outside captivity and not induced by low‐fiber diets alone, adding to the literature on environmental and dietary risk factors in elodont tooth pathology.

Human hunters are no substitute for vanishing apex predators

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study reveals that human hunters fail to replicate the collective and individual ecological functions of natural apex predators in sustaining biodiversity and promoting stable spatial patterns. These insights are vital for rethinking predator conservation and wildlife management in human‐dominated landscapes.

Folklore Studies, Fieldwork and the Making of a Domestic Anthropology in Fin‐de‐Siècle Britain

open access: yesHistory, EarlyView.
Abstract This article follows the ‘communities of knowledge‐making’ that formed around folklore collection at the end of the nineteenth century. Often regarded as eccentric or marginal figures in the history of human science, these collectors in fact engaged in lively and sophisticated discussions about the methodologies needed to study the mental ...

A New Model of Feeding Biomechanics Based on Tied‐Arch Principles

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This new biomechanical model explains the major stress and strain patterns generated through the cranium during biting. The model proposes that the cranium resolves bite‐induced reaction forces through arcs of compressive stress that span the cranial structure between biting teeth and both jaw joints.

Diacerein Disrupts Testicular Homeostasis: The Essential Role of Basal Cytokines in Maintaining Sertoli Cell Integrity and the Immune Microenvironment

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pro‐inflammatory cytokines, TNF and IL‐1B, are essential for testicular homeostasis. Diacerein, an anti‐inflammatory drug, inhibits these cytokines, impairing M2 macrophages and Leydig cells (LCs). However, its impact on Sertoli cells (SCs) and M1 (CD68) macrophages remains unknown.

Diabetes‐Induced Testicular Injury: Potential Protective Roles of Curcumin, Garcinia kola, and Momordica charantia in Rats

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces multifaceted cellular and structural alterations in the male reproductive system, thereby predisposing to infertility. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the morphological, stereological, biochemical, histopathological, and ultrastructural changes induced by DM in testicular tissue, and to ...

Clinical manifestations of dual‐gene variants in retinitis pigmentosa

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal disease (IRD), whereby each affected individual typically harbours pathogenic variants in a single causative gene, yet the disorder exhibits marked genetic heterogeneity, with more than 100 genes reported to underlie RP.

Tongue and Glottis Morphology of Cathartes aura and the Secret of Its Functional Adaptation

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cathartes aura, commonly known as the Turkey vulture, is a scavenger bird belonging to the family Cathartidae that is widely distributed throughout the Americas and classified as a New World vulture. Its diet primarily consists of small‐sized carcasses, predominantly of wild animals.

Non‐Alzheimer Aβ deposits in the human CNS: Implications with hypoxia and related conditions

open access: yesBrain Pathology, EarlyView.
An Aβ deposit in a non‐Alzheimer's brain from an individual who experienced hypoxia/energy failure. Abstract We recently reported the deposition of Aβ in the frontal cortex of individuals who died of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), or who did not have COVID‐19 but had respiratory distress, or infants with severe cardiac malformations.

Serotonin engages divergent 5‐HT receptor pathways for cell type‐resolved modulation of prefrontal layer 5 microcircuits

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Serotonin differentially modulates layer 5 mPFC microcircuits through cell type‐specific pre‐ and postsynaptic receptor pathways. Presynaptic 5‐HT1BRs suppress glutamate and GABA release, whereas presynaptic and postsynaptic 5‐HT3ARs enhance fast‐spiking interneuron activity, whilst distinct pyramidal neuron subtypes exhibit divergent 5‐HT1AR‐ and 5 ...
