Influence of the Intervertebral Disc Microenvironment on Matrix Synthesis and Metabolism in Goat Nucleus Pulposus Cells

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Goat nucleus pulposus cells cultured under clinically relevant oxygen, glucose, pH, and osmolarity revealed pH to have the most influential impact on viability and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Interactions between factors showed that disc cell behavior is shaped by the microenvironment, highlighting its importance in regenerative therapy design for the

Characterization of Ovine Intervertebral Disc Health Across the Lifespan: Relationships Between Quantitative MRI, Radiological, Histological, Biochemical, and Biomechanical Assessments

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Quantitative MRI reveals age‐related degeneration of lumbar intervertebral discs. Axial T2 and T2* relaxation time maps from representative young (15‐month) and old (130‐month) sheep demonstrate substantially higher relaxation times in young discs, particularly within the nucleus pulposus, indicating a well‐hydrated and proteoglycan‐rich matrix.

Toward All 2D‐Based Printed Raindrop Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Small, Volume 22, Issue 17, 20 March 2026.
A raindrop triboelectric nanogenerator (RD‐TENG) based on solution‐deposited 2D materials is described, where successive drop impacts generate short‐circuit signals. Graphene–SWCNT hybrid films serve as conductive contacts and transition metal dichalcogenides as active layer.

Cement Lines are Stiffer and Harder than Bone but Exhibit Different Mineral–Mechanics Relationships due to Thicker and Shorter Mineral Particles

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Bone's complex hierarchical structure contains many internal interfaces, including the cement line (CL) around osteons. This article shows that the CL is stiffer and harder than surrounding bone but has different mineral–mechanics relationships. These findings challenge the view of the CL as a soft, protective interface and provide insights for ...

The Impact of Feeding Organic Trace Minerals Using Advanced Chelate Technology on Reproductive Efficiency and Blood Parameters in Ghezel Ewes

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Supplementing the flushing diet with organic trace minerals based on advanced chelate technology enhanced the reproductive performance of ewes as compared with inorganic trace minerals. ABSTRACT Background The bioavailability of trace minerals (TM) in a diet is important for improving reproductive performance and fertility parameters.

Small Ruminant Farming in Benin: Characterization, Knowledge and Practices of Breeders Facing Peste des Petits Ruminants

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
A study on small ruminant farmers' knowledge identified three profiles (G1, G2, G3): the majority, young men, favor the Djallonké breed due to its affordability. While groups G1 and G2 showed a low level of knowledge due to extensive farming practices, group G3 stood out.

Strain Traits of Intracranially Administered L‐Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Prions Are not Significantly Modified During Intraspecies Transmission in Cynomolgus Monkeys

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 166-174, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Among the three prion strains of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), classical BSE (C‐BSE) prions are known causative agents of variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. By contrast, human infections with L‐type (L‐) or H‐type (H‐) BSE prions have not been reported.

Developing Indigenous Plant‐Enriched Yogurt to Enhance Iron Solubility—A Collaboration With Senegalese Women Farmers

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study utilized collaborations with Senegalese women farmers to investigate the impact of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation of sorghum, baobab, and milk on nutritional and sensory qualities for plant‐enriched yogurt. Using a simplex lattice mixture design, five samples of varying weight ratios of sorghum/baobab (17.5/32.5–47.5/2.5, w.
