A novel mouse model simulating C5 palsy after cervical surgery
This study establishes a reliable mouse model of permanent C5 palsy (post‐laminectomy complication) via dorsal approach, selectively severing the C5 anterior nerve root while preserving the posterior root through partial C4 and C5 laminectomy. The model successfully replicates clinical C5P features—flaccid shoulder paralysis, electrophysiological ...

We applied quantitative MRI of the lower limb and automated home‐cage phenotyping to a mouse model of calpainopathy to detect early disease changes. At 15 months, calpain 3‐deficient mice showed increased water T2 values correlating with immune cell infiltration in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles, while assessment of motor activity revealed only ...

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.
