The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The stratum corneum, as the outermost layer of the skin, functions as a critical barrier that maintains cutaneous hydration and systemic homeostasis. Among its structural lipids, ceramides constitute the most abundant and diverse component. These molecules are essential for the formation of lamellar structures that secure barrier integrity ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.The graphical abstract illustrates our rapid PI‐based spheroid viability assay: hepatocyte spheroids are formed and stained with AO/PI, imaged after a 15‐min incubation, and analyzed for PI brightness normalized to area. This metric correlates strongly with functional urea/DNA output, validating PI intensity as a fast, reliable indicator of spheroid ...
