An elastic segment of the whisker shaft enables coding of the whisking phase via whisker torsion in rats and mice

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
An elastic segment was found in the basal part of the whisker shaft in rats and mice. Application of force to the whisker bulb of isolated follicles caused bending and twisting of this segment. Active whisker movements deform this segment, causing whisker shaft deflection and selective activation of mechanoreceptors at different phases of whisking ...

Does salinity make a difference—Kidney anatomy of Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract As habitat salinity markedly differs between the endangered, freshwater‐dwelling Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa saimensis Nordquist, 1899) and the brackish water‐inhabiting Baltic ringed seal (Pusa hispida botnica Gmelin, 1788), we investigated whether this difference has resulted in morphological changes to their kidneys.

Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

Preliminary insights on high‐fidelity embalming solutions for surgical skills training—An evaluation using the McMaster Embalming Scale and mechanical tests

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Simulation‐based training is critical for surgical skill acquisition and typically uses soft‐preserved body donors, as they represent high‐fidelity models (vs. hard‐fixed donors) with prolonged periods of preservation (vs. unembalmed donors).

System failure? Exploring the interplay of fear of failure, competition, cooperation and sense of belonging in education in England and Flanders

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Fear of failure is damaging in a host of ways yet is rife in many schools. Drawing on self‐worth theory, we explore whether fear of academic failure is higher in education systems with features that increase students' experiences of competition. To do this, we compare two very different education systems: England, where, for instance, national

‘Literal torture’: Vulnerability, resilience and young people's experiences of pressure in physical education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper combines vulnerability and resilience theory to explore the pressure young people experience in Physical Education (PE) and sport at secondary school. The theoretical framework was used to understand both how young people experience PE in school and how vulnerability and resilience function interdependently in social contexts like ...

Radial capacity and hemodynamics evaluation in vitro and implantable feasibility validation in vivo of thinner bioresorbable polymer vascular stents

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A series of in vitro experiments, numerical simulations and in vivo experiments were conducted to jointly evaluate the effects of different thicknesses of bioabsorbable polymer vascular stents on their radial capacity, hemodynamics and in vivo outcomes.
