High‐Altitude Adaptation of Frogs (Case Study: Nanorana parkeri): From Physiological Phenotypes to AltitudeOmics

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.

Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, 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 ...

Amphibian‐Derived Peptide OA‐AL14 Alleviates UVB‐Induced Skin Photoaging via Autophagy Activation Mediated by the AMPK/mTOR Pathway

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The schematic diagram illustrates that the amphibian‐derived peptide OA‐AL14 protects against UVB‐induced skin photoaging through a dual mechanism: activating the Nrf2 pathway to counteract oxidative stress and modulating the AMPK/mTOR axis to induce protective autophagy. ABSTRACT Skin photoaging, primarily driven by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, is a

Integrated Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveals the Genetic Basis of Phenotypic Variation in Tibetan Sheep

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
SNaPshot‐validated GWAS results demonstrated significant correlations between candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and body size traits in Tibetan sheep. Concurrently, hematoxylin and eosin staining, alongside muscle fiber analysis, confirmed pronounced morphological differences in muscle tissue between sheep of varying conformation.

Efficacy and Safety of 755‐nm Picosecond Alexandrite Laser for Acquired Bilateral Naevus of Ota‐Like Macules (Hori Naevus): A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesAustralasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acquired bilateral naevus of Ota‐like macules (ABNOM), also known as Hori's naevus, is a common dermal melanocytosis causing facial hyperpigmentation. While the 755‐nm Q‐switched alexandrite lasers (QSAL) are traditionally used, they are limited by moderate clearance and substantial risk of post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Hair Degradation Patterns in Aquatic and Soil Environments

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hair is a biological material that can provide information in archaeology and forensics. Previous studies have mainly examined changes occurring post‐mortem. In this study, we focused on hair pulled out ante‐mortem. The aim of the study was to identify patterns in the degradation of hair in water and soil.

Molecular heterogeneity and prognostic biomarkers in primary meningeal melanocytic tumors

open access: yesBrain Pathology, EarlyView.
Integrated molecular profiling reveals biological heterogeneity among primary meningeal melanocytic tumors, identifying intermediate‐grade PMMT subgroups with distinct recurrence risk. Molecular alterations including SF3B1 mutations and chromosome 8q gains support prognostic stratification, while PRKAR1A alterations and chromosome 17/21q losses aid ...

Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

Early Visual Development in Albinism

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Visual system development is incomplete at birth, and while fixation and tracking usually emerge within the first weeks of life, some infants show delayed visual development (DVDev). This is frequently observed in infants with albinism, yet the timing of visual attentiveness and subsequent visual acuity development remains unclear ...
