Metformin enhances external urethral sphincter integrity and restores continence via AMPK activation in a rat model of stress urinary incontinence

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The pathogenesis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is intimately associated with injury to the external urethral sphincter (EUS). In this study, we established an SUI model induced by double vaginal distension and demonstrated that metformin treatment activated the AMPK signaling in the EUS tissue.

Novel Monoclonal Antibody Detects Small Aβ Oligomers More Sensitively Than Lecanemab in Alzheimer's Disease CSF, Serum and Culture Media

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Aqueously diffusible oligomers of the amyloid β‐protein (oAβ) are neurotoxic and play a role in neuronal dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Accurate quantification of oAβ in brains and biofluids could be valuable for understanding and monitoring AD.

CNC–PNIPAM Drug Delivery System Improves Endometrial Receptivity via Natural Killer Cell Immune Tolerance in Endometriosis

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
An injectable CNC–PNIPAM hydrogel is developed for intrauterine co‐delivery of levonorgestrel and botropase. This platform reprograms uterine natural killer cells toward an immune–tolerant phenotype and enhances endometrial receptivity marker expression. The results demonstrate a promising strategy to counteract endometriosis–associated infertility and

Hominoid‐specific calretinin‐immunopositivity of the optic radiation (geniculocalcarine tract)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Calretinin‐immunostained coronal section through the primary (V1) and extrastriate (ExSt) cortex of the lar gibbon. Note that the optic radiation (OR) is strongly calretinin‐immunoreactive. This calretinin‐immunopositivity of the OR distinguishes the Hominoidea from other primates in terms of the neurochemistry of the OR.
