Tissue‐Stimulator Platform for Electrically Stimulating Pancreatic β‐Cells for Long‐Term Functional Regulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present a tissue‐stimulator platform for seamless electrode integration with pancreatic tissue, applying uniform electrical stimulation through optimized design with biohybrid 3D printing. Advantageous effects of electrical stimulation on β‐cell function were observed, including enhanced calcium signaling, islet morphology, and maturation.

Abundance and local range of broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris, Alligatoridae) in the northwest of Santa Catarina Island [PDF]

Biotemas, 2008
This is the first report on the distribution and relative abundance of the broad-snouted caiman on Santa Catarina Island. The study estimated the relative abundance of caiman along the rivers at Estação Ecológica de Carijós, in addition to evaluating the

Review of river fisheries valuation in Central and South America [PDF]

, 2008
Unlike Africa and Asia, where a large part of the population are heavily dependent upon fishing for their livelihoods, fishing for a living in the interior of Central and South America (CSA) remains a marginal occupation for all but the most isolated of ...

Bioengineered 3D hPSC‐Cholangiocyte Ducts With Physiological Signals for Biliary Disease Modeling

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Tian and colleagues generated a bioengineered bile duct from human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)‐derived intrahepatic cholangiocytes within a high‐throughput, 384‐well platform to systematically examine the influence of biliary physiological signals including fluid flow, stromal cells and bile acids, and models intrahepatic biliary disease progression ...

Temperature variation in nests of Caiman crocodilus (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae)

Acta Herpetologica, 2007
Caiman crocodilus is a widely distributed species in the Neotropics; however, studies of incubation temperatures in wildlife are uncommon. Incubation temperature in four nests of Caiman crocodilus were measured with a digital thermometer, in the National

A Taxa de conversão do alimento (FCR) do Caiman latirostris é mais eficiente a temperaturas mais elevadas [PDF]

, 2009
The effects of temperature on the growth of Caiman latirostris were investigated in order to evaluate the efficiency of food conversion at 29 and 33°C. Sixty-eight captive raised animals, two months old, taken from four nests, were used.

Designed Liquid Crystalline Nanoassemblies From Clinically Validated Polyunsaturated Lipids for Combined Antioxidant, Anti‐Apoptotic, and Neurotrophic Treatments

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Ionizable lipid nanoparticles target multiple pathological pathways in neurodegeneration. The designed self‐assembled materials undergo a pH‐triggered structural transformation from a cubosome/hexosome coexistence to a hexosome phase, enhancing intracellular delivery of a multi‐target phytochemical formulation. The antioxidant‐loaded pH‐responsive LNPs

The invasive spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus) in Florida, United States: invasion timeline, insights, and implications for Everglades restoration

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
The spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus) is a crocodylian native to Central and South America that has been introduced and established (reproducing in the wild) in several insular (i.e., Cuba, Puerto Rico, San Andres) and continental (i.e., Florida ...

Metriorhynchidae (Crocodylomorpha: Thalattosuchia) del jurásico superior–cretácico inferior de la Cuenca Neuquina (Argentina), con comentarios sobre los moldes naturales del encéfalo [PDF]

, 2015
Los Metriorhynchidae fueron los únicos Crocodylomorpha con un estilo de vida marino pelágico. Relacionado con este estilo de vida, su peculiar plan corporal permite diferenciarlos claramente de los demás Crocodylomorpha.
