Novel Extraluminal silicone tracheal stent: Development and evaluation in a rabbit model of tracheomalacia

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A novel extraluminal silicone stent was developed and applied in a rabbit model of tracheomalacia. The stent effectively maintained airway patency and minimized tissue reaction without causing cartilage damage. This approach may offer a safe and effective alternative for treating tracheal collapse in small animals.

Histochemical indications for a chemically complex signal produced by the cervical gill slit gland of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland
