Effects of central muscle relaxants on the morphine-induced Straub tail reaction.
An investigation of the pharmacological mechanism of the Straub tail reaction (STR) was made of the intracerebral (i.c.) injection of morphine. In addition, the effects of central muscle relaxants on the STR were examined. The STR was elicited by i.c. injection of morphine.

Designing the Next Generation of Biomaterials through Nanoengineering
Nanoengineering enables precise control over biomaterial interactions with living systems by tuning surface energy, defects, porosity, and crystallinity. This review highlights how these nanoscale design parameters drive advances in regenerative medicine, drug delivery, bioprinting, biosensing, and bioimaging, while outlining key translational ...

Metabolism of afloqualone, a new centrally acting muscle relaxant, in monkeys and dogs.
The disposition and metabolism of afloqualone [6-amino-2-fluoromethyl-3-(o-tolyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinone, AFQ] were studied in monkeys and dogs after oral administration of 14C-AFQ. In both species the blood radioactivity reached a maximum 1 to 2 h after the administration, and decreased with apparent half-lives of 3.2 h in the monkey and 7.2 h in the dog.

A Photonastic Prototissue Capable of Photo‐Mechano‐Chemical Transduction
Mimicking energy transduction in prototissue assemblies remains a challenge of bottom‐up synthetic biology. In this work, prototissues integrating protocells with photothermal gold nanoparticle proto‐organelles and a thermoresponsive polymeric proto‐cortex are developed.
