The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
, 2019 The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Implantable Medical Devices, Biomaterials, and the Foreign Body Response: A Surgical Perspective
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 113, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Implantable medical devices improve quality of life and reduce mortality by restoring the form and function of the human body. Their biomaterial surface components in contact with tissues are, however, susceptible to the host's foreign body response, which drives inflammation and implant fibrous encapsulation.

Emerging Therapeutic Strategies for Hearing Loss
Advanced Therapeutics, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2025.Challenges still exist in treating hearing loss in cases of severe damage to hair cells or spiral ganglion neurons. Here, a schematic diagram of cochlear sensory hair cells and auditory nerves is presented. It is found that in normal Corti organs, hair cells have upright stereocilia at the top and auditory neurons at the base. Ototoxic drugs, noise, or
