Development, Evaluation, and Characterization of a Novel Mucoadhesive Film Containing Pterodon pubescens Benth Ethanolic Extract for Dental Use

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Pterodon pubescens Mucoadhesive Film for dental use. ABSTRACT Periodontal diseases involve infectious and inflammatory processes that affect oral tissues. Extracts from Pterodon pubescens Benth (sucupira) have demonstrated antinociceptive, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐edematogenic, and antiplatelet effects, highlighting their therapeutic potential for ...

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Finite element analysis of feeding in red and gray squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris and Sciurus carolinensis)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

Segmentation of cortical bone, trabecular bone, and medullary pores from micro‐CT images using 2D and 3D deep learning models

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Computed tomography (CT) enables rapid imaging of large‐scale studies of bone, but those datasets typically require manual segmentation, which is time‐consuming and prone to error. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) offer an automated solution, achieving superior performance on image data.

Dietary ecology of Smilodon across time and space: Additional perspectives from Smilodon gracilis and Smilodon fatalis in Florida

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Dental microwear texture analysis of Smilodon samples from Florida's Pleistocene reveals moderate carcass utilization (like modern African lions) across space and time, with more subtle dietary shifts in response to fluctuating climates. Abstract Smilodon, the iconic saber‐toothed cat, was a Pleistocene apex predator comprised of three morphologically ...

Linking individual variation in facial musculature to facial behavior in rhesus macaques

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expression is a key component of primate communication, and primates (including humans) have a complex system of facial musculature underpinning this behavior. Human facial musculature is highly variable across individuals, but to date, whether other primate species exhibit a similar level of inter‐individual variation is unknown ...

But how does it smell? An investigation of olfactory bulb size among living and fossil primates and other euarchontoglirans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).
