Refining a preclinical model of viral myocarditis in accordance with biotech standards
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.This study aimed to refine a murine model of Coxsackievirus B3‐induced myocarditis by integrating dietary and imaging innovations to improve animal welfare, data quality, and clinical applicability. The refined diet significantly reduced animal health burden, reduced weight loss, and stabilized blood glucose during development of cardiac inflammation ...

Perivascular Spaces as Determinants of Amyloid, Tau, and Vascular Biomarker Progression
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐visible enlarged perivascular spaces (PVS) are markers of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) and aging, processes implicated in both neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular pathologies. However, longitudinal positron emission tomography (PET) studies examining PVS as a mechanism underlying Alzheimer's disease ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Dehydroamino acids (DHAA) are atypical electrophilic sites that lead to crosslinked proteins in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. No catalyst for their formation has been known in humans. We report that metal oxides catalyze β‐elimination of phosphoserine and phosphothreonine in model peptides at pH 7.5°C and 37°C, yielding DHAAs.

Distribution of Big Tau Isoforms in the Human Central and Peripheral Nervous System
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Tau is widely studied in neurodegeneration, yet most work has focused on canonical brain tau isoforms. A longer isoform, “big tau,” produced by inclusion of exon 4a, is expressed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) regions.

Modified Titanium Dental Implants: The Current Progress of Soft‐Tissue Integration Methods
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.Dental implants are an established solution for tooth loss, yet achieving soft tissue integration (STI) around the transmucosal region remains a challenge. The natural tooth–gingiva interface is poorly replicated on titanium implants. This review explores surface modification strategies, ranging from surface chemistry and topography to biological ...
