Plant‐derived nanovesicles as potential drug delivery systems for topical use: Emerging applications in dermatology and cosmetology

VIEW, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are naturally secreted by fruit, vegetables, seeds, leaves and other natural sources. Used as drug delivery systems, they can combine intrinsic therapeutic activity, enhanced skin permeation and cargo‐carrying capacity, suitable for dermatological and cosmetic applications including hydration, antioxidant/anti ...

An Experimental Study on the Protective Effect of Memantine in Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the potential protective effects of memantine, an N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, against acoustic trauma (AT) in guinea pigs, using electrophysiological and histopathological analyses. Methods Thirty guinea pigs with normal hearing were divided into six groups (n = 5 per group): Group 1 (control),

Morphological and vascular evidence of glaucomatous damage in myopic guinea pigs with scleral crosslinking

Scientific Reports
Guinea pigs are often used as models for myopia studies. However, the imaging structure and vasculature of the optic nerve head (ONH) in guinea pigs are tentative.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Antimicrobial Use in Livestock: The Economic Cost of Action or Inaction

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper quantifies the economy‐wide consequences of two independent global stress‐tests in livestock production. The first assesses the effects of phasing out antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs), and the second evaluates the long‐term impacts of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) progression.

Comparative study on the effects of high fat diet and capsicum diet on the digestive organs of guinea pigs

Scientific Reports
This study examined the different effects of high-fat and capsicum diets on the digestive organs of guinea pigs. Hartley guinea pigs (n = 24) were divided into the high-fat diet (HFD), capsicum diet (CD), and control (C) groups. Guinea pigs in the C, HFD,

Role of ANO1‐Expressing PDGFRα+ Smooth Muscle Cells in Generating Spontaneous Phasic Contractions of the Rodent Epididymis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Spontaneous phasic contractions (SPCs) in the epididymal duct play an important role in transport and maturation of sperm. In proximal cauda of the rat epididymis, platelet‐derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα)‐positive smooth muscle cells (SMCs) generate ANO1 Ca2+‐activated chloride channels (CaCCs)‐dependent spontaneous ...
