How Insect Exocrine Glands Work
Annual Review of EntomologyExocrine glands release a secretion to the body surface or into a lumen and are likely to be found in all insect taxa. Their secretions are diverse, serving many physiological, behavioral, and defensive functions. Much research has characterized gland structure and secretion identity and function, but little research has attempted to understand how ...

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis Revealing Primary Sjögren Syndrome: Report of 2 Cases
Case Reports in Medicine, 2013 Sjögren syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease of the exocrine glands, characterized by focal lymphocytic infiltration and destruction of these glands. Neurologic complications are quite common, mainly involving the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Small, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bioactive gold plasmonic nanostructures are enabling non‐invasive saliva diagnostics by amplifying weak Raman signals and converting complex biofluid chemistry into information‐rich spectral fingerprints. This Review examines saliva‐based Raman and surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) from a ...

Cell therapy in Sjögren's syndrome: opportunities and challenges
Expert Reviews in Molecular MedicineSjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease caused by immune system disorders. The main clinical manifestations of SS are dry mouth and eyes caused by the destruction of exocrine glands, such as the salivary and lacrimal glands, and systemic ...

Recent advances in primary Sjogren's syndrome [version 1; referees: 3 approved]
F1000Research, 2016 Primary Sjögren’s syndrome, a chronic inflammatory process, is among the most commonly occurring rheumatologic diseases. The clinical hallmark of this disease is exocrine gland dysfunction, resulting predominately in dry eyes and dry mouth.

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.A 3D‐bioprinted platform with stem cells activates “nerve‐bone” signaling by enabling the spatiotemporal delivery of Nell‐1. This activation enhances neurovascular and bone regeneration through the CYFIP1 cascade. In rat calvarial defects, the platform doubled bone regeneration and nerve repair and tripled vascular density, resulting in superior ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.In this study, we examined whether realistic ozone concentrations can interfere with sexual communication in the insect pest Plutella xylostella, the diamondback moth. Ozone exposure caused a degradation of pheromone components, leading to significant changes in blend composition and component ratios.

The clinical spectrum of primary Sjögren’s syndrome: beyond exocrine glands
Reumatismo, 2017 Although primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a mild indolent chronic disease mainly characterized by mucosal dryness in the majority of cases, a consistent subgroup of patients display extra-glandular manifestations.

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.Severe abdominal aortic calcification on preoperative CT may identify vascular frailty in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Integrated with fistula‐risk scores and frailty assessment, it may inform discussion of standard PD versus planned total pancreatectomy in selected high‐risk patients, while AAC alone is not an indication for TP ...
