New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) in Alternative Methods: A Comparative Cytotoxicity Analysis of Nanostructured Hydroxyapatite in Adipose Stem Cells Spheroids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Toxicological assessment is essential in NP approval for health and medical applications. Although 2D cell culture has been widely used, 3D models, especially spheroids, provide better predictive value for toxicological risk assessments since they replicate complex cellular interactions more accurately.

Radiation Risk in 2D Mammography Screening: A Scoping Review of Modelling Strategies and Emerging AI Applications

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This scoping review examined models estimating long‐term radiation risks from repeated mammography screening. While modelling indicates the risks are low, approaches vary by protocol and vendor. Emerging AI tools show promise for improving personalised risk estimation, though further development is needed for cross‐platform compatibility.

Assessing the intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in the Nefud Desert, northern Arabia

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The climate history of the major dryland zones of the world, such as the Saharo–Arabian Desert belt, plays a key role in the dispersal of early humans through these intermittently inhospitable regions. Here, we assess the relative intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in northern Arabia through lithological, geochemical, palaeoecological ...

Freeze‐dried Lactobacillus spp. improved average daily liveweight gain and reduced methane intensity in growing lambs

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Direct fed microbials (DFM) are natural and safe enteric methane mitigants for ruminant livestock systems. While previous studies have demonstrated the effect of Lactobacillus spp. on methane mitigation, challenges remain in effectively delivering DFM in extensive grazing systems. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the
