Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

Integrating Indoor Hibernation into the Italian Outdoor Snail Farming System: A Potential Solution for Colder Climates

Animals
(1) Background: Hibernation in Lutrasil-covered enclosures led to elevated mortality rates for Cornu aspersum on Romanian farms. This two-year study evaluated the feasibility of adapting indoor hibernation technology to the Italian outdoor snail farming (

Placental crises: disruptive selection and maternal under‐investment as the foundations of mammalian placental evolution and dysfunction

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among the vertebrates, mammals are notable for the dominance of live birth and placental nutrition. The structural diversity of the mammalian placenta is remarkable, despite sharing a single common ancestor and conserved physiological functions.

HIBERNATION, A MODEL OF NEUROPROTECTION [PDF]

TheScientificWorldJOURNAL, 2001
Hibernation, a natural model of tolerance to cerebral ischemia, represents a state of pronounced fluctuation in cerebral blood flow where no brain damage occurs. Numerous neuroprotective aspects may contribute in concert to such tolerance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether hibernating brain tissue is tolerant to penetrating brain ...

Short-Term Estivation and Hibernation Induce Changes in the Blood and Circulating Hemocytes of the Apple Snail Pomacea canaliculata

Metabolites, 2023
States of natural dormancy include estivation and hibernation. Ampullariids are exemplary because they undergo estivation when deprived of water or hibernation when exposed to very low temperatures.

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Consumer Mobile Phone Recycling Behaviour: A Systematic Review and Future Research Agenda

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mobile phone recycling has received increasing attention from scholars and practitioners due to its environmental, social, and economic impacts. However, knowledge about consumer mobile phone (MP) recycling behaviour is fragmented, making it challenging to develop effective strategies to promote this behaviour. This study follows the Preferred

Serum immune-related proteins are differentially expressed during hibernation in the American black bear. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Hibernation is an adaptation to conserve energy in the face of extreme environmental conditions and low food availability that has risen in several animal phyla.

Periodic expression of Per1 gene is restored in chipmunk liver during interbout arousal in mammalian hibernation

Scientific Reports
Circadian rhythms play an important role in many physiological processes. We have previously reported that no periodic fluctuation in the Bmal1 mRNA is observed in the liver of the chipmunk, a mammalian hibernator, in the hibernation season, suggesting ...

Creativity and its link to epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Creative thinking represents one of our highest‐order cognitive processes, involving multiple cortical structures and an intricate interplay between several cortical and subcortical networks. It results in novel ideas that translate to useful products or concepts. The evolutionary purpose of creativity is therefore apparent, as it advances our
