Assessing survey techniques for eastern spotted skunks: camera traps, detection dogs, and scent lures

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Experimental layout comparing 3 survey methods (tree‐mounted cameras, enclosed camera traps, and a detection dog) and 2 scent lures (rabbit urine and weasel gland paste) for detecting eastern spotted skunks (Spilogale putorius) in Florida, USA. All survey methods yielded low but similar detection probabilities.

Adjusting Our Thinking About Feeding Animals: Fiber as the Metric for Mimicking Natural Diets

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
A typical effect of the change of an animal group to a diet higher in fiber: juveniles keep growing, animals of ideal body weight maintain their weight, and obese individuals lose weight. ABSTRACT Free‐ranging animals often ingest markedly different diets than their counterparts under human care, whether companion animals, production animals, or zoo ...

Host Phylogeny and Feeding Habit Jointly Govern Mammalian Gut Microbiota Composition

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Herbivores showed higher alpha diversity than carnivores/omnivores, while omnivores had the highest beta diversity. Host phylogeny influenced gut microbiota more strongly in herbivores/omnivores, with phylogenetic distance correlating to microbiota dissimilarity.

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

α‐Synuclein strain homogeneity in multiple system atrophy subtypes

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Two different subtypes of multiple system atrophy are recognized: MSA‐C and MSA‐P. In this manuscript, Lau et al. investigate whether MSA‐C and MSA‐P are caused by different strains of α‐synuclein aggregates. By performing conformational fingerprinting experiments as well as in vitro and in vivo seeding assays, their findings suggest that both MSA‐C ...

PTEN homozygous deletion is a negative prognostic factor in tumor treating fields‐treated glioblastoma, IDH wildtype patients

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
In a molecularly confirmed cohort of 64 newly diagnosed, TTFields‐treated glioblastomas, IDH‐wildtype, homozygous PTEN deletion was associated with markedly shorter overall survival (368 vs. 603 days) and remained an independent adverse prognostic factor.

New biosensors and transgenic mice for multiplex cGMP imaging

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a versatile second messenger that is important for human (patho‐)physiology and pharmacotherapy. Live‐cell imaging of cGMP with biosensors allows to elucidate its spatiotemporal dynamics in real time under close‐to‐native conditions. However, to monitor two separate cGMP pools or cGMP/cAMP

Repurposed catechol‐O‐methyltransferase inhibitors tolcapone and entacapone preferentially suppress aggregation and seeding of P301 mutant tau in human neuronal models

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and purpose Pathogenic aggregation and propagation of seed‐competent TAU assemblies drive tauopathies. MAPT P301 mutations accelerate aggregation and enhance seed competence, yet pharmacological strategies selectively targeting these pathogenic species remain limited.

Cholinergic inputs to motoneurons in the spinal cord augment focal muscle spasticity in rodents

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cholinergic premotor inputs to motoneurons support high levels of motor output when required. However, the possible role of these inputs in pathologically elevated muscle tone has not been characterised. To address this, we examined the modulatory effect of spinal acetylcholine (ACh) on experimental spastic paralysis ...

RCC1 neuropathy mimics childhood axonal Guillain–Barré syndrome with variable clinical severity and survival

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
We present 10 patients who presented with acute onset axonal neuropathy following infection, mimicking childhood axonal Guillain–Barré syndrome. We review phenotypes, undertake survival analysis, and assess function of novel RCC1 variants in vitro. Abstract Aim To assess the phenotype and genotype of 10 new patients with biallelic RCC1 variants who ...
