The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Effects of intermittent exposure to hypobaria and cold on the microarchitecture and morphofunctional profile of rat gastrocnemius muscle

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Comprehensive Characterization of Acer truncatum Leaf Extract: Identification of Systemic Metabolites and Effects on Performance, Antioxidant Status, and Intestinal Microbiota in Laying Hens

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary A. truncatum leaf extract is absorbed and improves laying performance in aged hens by enhancing systemic antioxidant capacity and modulating the gut microbiota. ABSTRACT The demand for natural feed additives is considerably increasing in the antibiotic‐free feed era.

The hare and the tortoise: Open access publications' immediate impact and lasting advantage

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Open Access has changed how research is published and discovered. Studies generally report that OA articles are cited and mentioned more often than non‐OA, describing an open access advantage (OAA). The mechanisms causing the OAA are under‐investigated: this research analyzes citation and altmetrics post‐publication, reporting on the ...

A phase 1 evaluation of inhaled oxytocin: Physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic model informed dosing of a novel heat‐stable oxytocin delivery system

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim To develop and validate a physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model enabling inhaled oxytocin dose selection for clinical evaluation. Subsequently, to conduct a phase 1 study investigating the pharmacokinetics and safety of selected doses of an optimized inhaled oxytocin product in healthy, non‐pregnant female participants.

A phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of PF‐07261271 in healthy participants

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim There is an unmet need for more effective therapies in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A single drug that blocks multiple distinct pathogenic pathways may offer therapeutic benefit superior to current monotherapies. PF‐07261271, a bispecific antibody targeting both the p40 subunit of interleukin‐12/23 and tumour necrosis factor‐like cytokine 1A ...

Single‐subject designs in character education: Methods for rigorous, contextual, and practitioner‐led research

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Character education research is often constrained by blunt methodological tools. Surveys capture breadth without depth; case studies offer richness but lack replicability; and randomised controlled trials (RCTs), though indispensable at the policy level, are costly, disruptive and ill‐suited to everyday practice with individual pupils.

Digital Transformation and Informal Innovation in Africa: Reframing STI Policy for Inclusive Circular Economy Transitions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid increasing environmental and economic pressures, Africa's transition to a circular economy (CE) presents a vital pathway to inclusive, low‐carbon development. Yet, how digital transformation, informal innovation, and science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy readiness shape CE outcomes remains underexplored.
