Adipocyte‐specific NIK depletion enhances energy metabolism and glucose tolerance in mice

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Obesity is associated with reduced energy expenditure and increased hepatic lipid accumulation. This study reveals that loss of NIK in adipocytes stimulates FGF21‐driven expression of thermogenic genes, including UCP1, and mitochondrial uncoupled respiration.

The variability of giraffe skull morphology

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
What does giraffe skull shape tell us about their development and evolution? Abstract Giraffe (Giraffa spp.) are among the most unique and charismatic extant animals, largely due to their distinct morphology. The evolutionary and developmental origin of ossicones is a key factor in giraffid biology, yet other features building their characteristic head

APOE4 negates the effects of ovarian hormones on cerebrovascular endothelial and mitochondrial function

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We examined the interaction effect of ovarian hormones and APOE genotype on cerebrovascular and mitochondrial function. Our data revealed that APOEε3 mice that were ovariectomized exhibited impaired endothelial function and greater oxidative stress and inflammation compared to sham controls.

Activational Effects of Gonadal Hormones on Social Reward Motivation in Adolescence and Adulthood in Female and Male Long–Evans Rats

Developmental Psychobiology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT There are age and sex differences in the processing of social reward, although the basis for these differences is not well established. We previously found greater social motivation at P50 (postpubertal adolescence) than at P70 (adulthood), and that female rats showed greater social motivation than male rats.

High‐Carbohydrate Diet Enhances Peripheral Nerve Regeneration via Hemoglobin Upregulation in Schwann Cells

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
A short‐term high‐carbohydrate diet enhances peripheral nerve regeneration more effectively than high‐protein or high‐fat diets by upregulating hemoglobin genes in Schwann cells. Increased hemoglobin promotes Schwann cell proliferation and migration, facilitating nerve repair.

Proximity to bait and social interactions influence individual wild pig (Sus scrofa) visitation at bait sites

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Individual wild pig bait site visitation and time to initial detection is primarily influenced by space use (i.e., proximity to bait) and whether wild pigs from other social groups visited before. Specifically, females are less likely to visit a bait site if an adult male visits a site before them.
