Evaluation of a Waistband for Attaching External Radiotransmitters to Anurans

, 2015
Radiotelemetry provides fine-scale temporal and spatial information about an individual\u27s movements and habitat use; however, its use for monitoring amphibians has been restricted by transmitter mass and lack of suitable attachment techniques.

Alternative Developmental Toxicity Screening Methods Using Chick Embryo‐Based Models

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonclinical developmental toxicity studies are used to investigate the potential toxicities of drugs and chemical candidates on normal embryonic and fetal development during pregnancy, generally using mammalian laboratory animals such as rats and rabbits.

Seasonality influences skin bacterial community structure and anti-Bd function in two anuran species

Frontiers in Microbiology
Microorganisms on amphibian skin reduce disease susceptibility and play an important role in pathogen defense. We hypothesized that anuran skin bacterial communities would change in response to seasonal variation and host species. To test this hypothesis,

Molecular dynamics simulations of oleuropein diffusion in chitosan‐based nanoparticles

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study explores the diffusion mechanisms of oleuropein (OLE), a promising polyphenolic compound, within chitosan‐based nanoparticles using molecular dynamics simulations. Chitosan nanoparticles serve as drug delivery carriers, leveraging biocompatibility and tunable release properties influenced by environmental factors such as ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

From regulatory mechanisms to cutting‐edge applications: Research progress of ultrasound, electrical, magnetic, and optical stimulation in neural modulation

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, the clinical treatment and symptom management of neurological disorders have faced significant challenges due to the high complexity of the nervous system's structure and function. Against this backdrop, physical stimulation techniques have emerged as a vital complementary approach to traditional pharmacological treatments and
