Age‐ and Growth‐Based Life‐History Traits of Striated Surgeonfish (Ctenochaetus striatus) and Achilles Tang (Acanthurus achilles) from Miti‘āro, Cook Islands

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.
Striated surgeonfish (Ctenochaetus striatus) and Achilles tang (Acanthurus achilles) are two surgeonfish species commonly harvested for subsistence on Miti‘āro, Cook Islands. Using individuals collected by local fishers, this study provides the first age‐ and growth‐based assessment of these species from Miti‘āro.

Mitigation of Hepatic and Pancreatic Injury by Spondias tuberosa Extract Through Oxidative Enzyme Modulation and TGF‐β Downregulation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Treatment with Spondias tuberosa extract ameliorated pancreatic and hepatic morphological damage in STZ‐induced diabetic rats, potentially by reducing oxidative stress and modulating profibrotic signaling mediated by TGF‐β. ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion and/or ...

Current‐Generation Crosslinked Polyethylenes for Total Hip Arthroplasty: Mechanistic Insights Into Oxidative Stability and Antioxidant Efficiency

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Highly crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) has revolutionized total hip arthroplasty (THA), but increased radiation doses and complex crosslink structures may increase oxidation susceptibility. The long‐term oxidative stability of XLPE depends on manufacturing factors, including crosslink density, antioxidant (vitamin E) concentration ...

The L108I polymorphism in mouse prion protein drives spontaneous disease and enhances transmission of atypical and classical prion strains

Brain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.
A single amino acid change (L108I) combined with PrP overexpression drives spontaneous atypical prion formation in mice, enabling also efficient propagation of diverse prion strains. This model allows studying how spontaneous prion diseases arise and provides powerful tools for investigating strain emergence, transmission barriers, and mechanisms ...

Using Principal Components Analysis to Visualize Motion and Mitigate Artifacts in Dynamic Optical Coherence Tomography

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
We demonstrate that Principal Component Analysis (PCA) can be used in dynamic OCT to substantially reduce artifacts from strong specular reflections, isolate movement within the sample, and create thin, histology‐like images, thereby avoiding the need for complex, time‐consuming techniques used in clinical histopathology.

Raman Microscopy at the Organic–Inorganic Interfaces in Human Calcified Aortic Valves Shows the Co‐Existence of Whitlockite Crystals and Carbonated Hydroxyapatite‐Mineralized Collagen Fibrils

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 42, 26 May 2026.
This study advances our understanding of aortic valve stenosis by capturing spatially resolved chemical and structural changes at the nanoscale. The findings highlight the potential of combined Raman and electron microscopy for understanding calcification mechanisms across diverse tissue types.

Pulp Fiber Bending Stiffness in Wet and Dry State Measured from Moment of Inertia and Modulus of Elasticity

BioResources, 2014
The bending stiffness of pulp fibers in both dry and wet states is of great importance with respect to many optical and physical paper properties. We introduce a method that evaluates fiber bending stiffness from the fibers’ Young’s modulus (E) and the ...

Investigating the Therapeutic Potential of Tamarix aphylla Leaf Extract Against Toxicity Caused by Graphene Nanosheets in Cirrhinus mrigala

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Tamarix aphylla leaf extract significantly alleviated graphene nanosheet–induced toxicity in Cirrhinus mrigala, reducing oxidative tissue damage and restoring organ integrity. Rich in antioxidant compounds, the extract offers a promising natural strategy for mitigating the biological impacts of graphene‐related pollutants.
