Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainville, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

A model for de novo pigmentation of amelanotic retinal pigment epithelial cells

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) cells perform critical functions in the visual cycle. Their melanin pigmentation, which is organized into specialized compartments – melanosomes, is highly critical for proper vision. A chemical method to induce pigmentation in a non‐pigmented model of ARPE‐19 cells was applied using L‐DOPA as a ...

Morphological and Morphometric Analysis of Animal Hair From 18th Century Burial Sites in Mazamet (Southwest France)

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Morphological and morphometric analysis of archaeological animal hairs offers a nondestructive method to explore past clothing. We examined hair from two 18th‐century burial areas (SP03 and SP04) in Mazamet, France. SP03 specimens exhibited a continuous medulla, a low medullary index (0.2 ± 0.03) and cuticular features suggesting goat or ...

Limbal cystotomy by fine needle aspiration of a translucent iris cyst in a horse

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 4‐year‐old Cremello crossbred mare was referred to the Equine Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Utrecht University for a translucent iris cyst from the dorsal pupillary margin corpora nigra in the right eye. Although noninvasive diode laser treatment is the preferred method of pigmented cyst ablation, two attempts did not result in disruption ...

Natural‐based antioxidants in cosmeceuticals: Extraction, bioavailability and skin ageing applications

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Natural antioxidants from plants, fruits, seeds and fungi combat ageing by neutralizing free radicals, boosting collagen and protecting against UV damage. Enhanced by green extraction and smart delivery systems, they offer powerful anti‐inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits.

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...

Differentiating solar lentigines from post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation with hyperspectral imaging: A pilot study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This preliminary study attempted to characterize solar lentigines and post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) observed on Japanese women. Colorimetric features and chromophore concentrations were measured using hyperspectral imaging for each hyperpigmentation type.

A deep learning–clinical nomogram hybrid for predicting sentinel lymph node metastasis in melanoma

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
We developed MISSLE, a deep learning–clinical nomogram hybrid model, to predict sentinel lymph node metastasis in invasive cutaneous melanoma with a high area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.950 on the test set. MISSLE identifies key histopathological features and integrates AI for improved clinical decision‐making.

Welfare and Physiological Consequences of Non‐Lethal Blood Sampling From the Caudal Vasculature of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate welfare and health effects following single and repeated non‐lethal blood sampling from the caudal vasculature of Atlantic salmon. Two experiments were conducted at three different temperatures: a 6‐week freshwater experiment with fish weighing 50–100 g, undergoing up to four blood withdrawals, and a

Rapid postfire color shift in a Mediterranean lizard

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We quantified dorsal luminosity and color composition of Psammodromus algirus in burned and adjacent unburned habitats at different times since fire. Lizards inhabiting recently burned areas displayed lighter dorsal coloration, particularly during the early stages of postfire succession, with the effect being more pronounced in larger individuals ...
