ABSTRACT Cells sense the stiffness of their extracellular matrix (ECM) and adapt their behavior accordingly. We investigated how ECM stiffness affects the spatial organization of talin1, a key mechanosensitive focal adhesion protein. Using polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels with tunable stiffnesses (0.2–188 kPa), we analyzed cell morphology, migration ...

On the water lapping of felines and the water running of lizards
We consider two biological phenomena taking place at the air-water interface: the water lapping of felines and the water running of lizards. Although seemingly disparate motions, we show that they are intimately linked by their underlying hydrodynamics ...

Laser neoureterocystostomy to treat ectopic ureters
Abstract Background Ureteral ectopia is an uncommon but clinically important congenital abnormality in horses. If left untreated, it can lead to persistent dermatitis, urinary tract infections, and failure to thrive. Surgical correction is necessary, but traditional approaches have produced mixed results with high morbidity.

Pancreatic α‐cell dysfunction associated with equine insulin dysregulation
Abstract Background Insulin dysregulation (ID) in horses is characterised by insulin resistance and exaggerated insulin responses, yet the underlying endocrine mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In humans, α‐cell dysfunction characterised by exaggerated glucagon secretion contributes to metabolic disease; however, the role of pancreatic α‐cell ...

Metastatic simple tubular mammary carcinoma in an ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) [PDF]
: Mammary neoplasms are common in domestic felines but are rarely reported in wild felids. On the other hand, understanding the diseases that affect these animals is crucial, considering the importance of wild felines for the environmental balance ...
