Role of ANO1‐Expressing PDGFRα+ Smooth Muscle Cells in Generating Spontaneous Phasic Contractions of the Rodent Epididymis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Spontaneous phasic contractions (SPCs) in the epididymal duct play an important role in transport and maturation of sperm. In proximal cauda of the rat epididymis, platelet‐derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα)‐positive smooth muscle cells (SMCs) generate ANO1 Ca2+‐activated chloride channels (CaCCs)‐dependent spontaneous ...

Rescaling the Developmental State: Competitive Shrinkage Governance and the Spatial Restructuring of Higher Education in South Korea

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Against the backdrop of sustained demographic contraction across the Asia‐Pacific, the developmental state (DS) paradigm, long premised on growth, faces profound challenges. While existing research on shrinking regions focuses on urban planning, little attention has been paid to how the state restructures its spatial power under contraction ...

Evaluation of the Rb/Sr ratio as an indicator of chemical weathering: a case study from five sedimentary sections in Northeast China

Boreas, EarlyView.
Chemical weathering plays a pivotal role in the Earth's surface material cycle and global climate regulation. It not only facilitates the reconstruction of palaeoclimate characteristics but also provides essential insights into Earth's evolutionary history.

Circumscribed Meningeal Melanocytic Neoplasms: CNS WHO Grade, Molecular Profile, and Clinical Outcomes

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
In this study including 31 circumscribed meningeal melanocytic neoplasms (melanocytoma, intermediate‐grade melanocytic tumor [IMT], and melanoma), overall survival (OS) differed significantly among the groups, with melanoma showing significantly worse OS than melanocytoma and IMT showing intermediate OS between melanocytoma and melanoma.

High‐resolution pressure myography reveals pressure‐dependent local contractile and geometric dynamics in the renal pelvis and ureter

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Coordinated peristalsis between the renal pelvis and ureter is critical for effective urine transport. However, intraluminal pressure impact on upper urinary tract (UUT) contractility and pharmacologic responsiveness remains poorly understood due to absence of suitable investigative methods.

Advancing Global Oral Health Research Through Community and Academic Partnerships: An Overview of the CORE Programme

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The increasing burden of oral diseases in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) and limited access to and affordability of oral care disproportionately impact disadvantaged groups. Oral health research has been dominated by professional academic perspectives with limited contribution from the communities involved. The aim of this

Cardiometabolic Protein Profile Changes During Gender‐Affirming Hormone Therapy: A Prospective Clinical Study

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is elevated in transgender individuals during gender‐affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) with expected different mechanisms between T‐ and E2‐based GAHT. We investigated prospective changes in cardiometabolic proteins relating to complement, inflammation, and transport during GAHT.

Licence Loss: Revocations of Residential Care Licences in Four Nordic Countries

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With placement in residential care, society assumes overall responsibility for a child's daily care, well‐being and development. How public authorities respond to poor care quality is of crucial importance. To guarantee quality care and minimise risks, welfare states increasingly develop different mechanisms and systems to supervise out‐of ...

Advances in 4D Representation: Geometry, Motion, and Interaction

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We survey 4D representation through three key pillars — geometry, motion, and interaction — offering a selective, representation‐centric perspective to guide researchers in choosing and customizing the right 4D representation for their tasks. Abstract We present a survey on 4D generation and reconstruction, a fast‐evolving subfield of computer graphics

Environmental supportiveness, physical activity, and sedentary time in children with cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Greater environmental supportiveness in home, school, and community settings was associated with reduced sedentary time among children with cerebral palsy, while home environmental supportiveness was related to increased light‐intensity physical activity.
