Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective RAP‐219, a potent selective negative allosteric modulator (NAM) of α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) associated with γ8 transmembrane AMPAR regulatory protein (TARPγ8), is in phase 3 development for refractory focal epilepsy. This study was undertaken to assess efficacy and motor function following

Bio‐inspired vision: From principle, material architectures to system‐level integration
FlexMat, EarlyView.This review introduces the development and mechanism of electronic and ionic bio‐inspired vision devices respectively. Then, it explores the impact of structure on bio‐inspired visual performance from the scale of intrinsic materials and device. Finally, it concludes that only by combining advanced software and technology can more complex vision ...

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a major risk factor for cataract development, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process, particularly the involvement of regulated cell death pathways such as ferroptosis, remain unclear. Transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses were performed on lens tissues from UVB‐induced cataract rat ...

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Oral non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used for analgesia in dogs with spontaneous chronic corneal epithelial defects (SCCEDs). Topical NSAIDs can delay epithelialisation and promote stromal melting, but the safety of systemic NSAIDs in SCCEDs is unknown.
