Apoptotic action of botulinum toxin on masseter muscle in rats: early and late changes in the expression of molecular markers [PDF]
, 2016 The purpose of this study was to compare the early or late expression levels of p65, Bcl-2, and type II myosin and the frequency of TUNEL-positive nuclei in the rat masseter muscle after injection of different concentrations of botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A).

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOc) is strongly associated with facial aging as its contraction causes the formation of crow's feet. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is a representative treatment targeting muscle. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical relationship between the OOc and the zygomaticus complex muscles, and ...

Bridging Anatomy Curricular Gaps: Leveraging Student‐Created Video Resources in Elective Courses
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Traditional anatomical donor‐based dissection has long served as the cornerstone of anatomical education. However, with increasingly condensed curricula and diverse student learning preferences, multimedia tools have become vital adjuncts to support engagement, comprehension, and accessibility.
