Animal stroke models and outcome evaluation: A review

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Rodents are the preeminent stroke model species. Large animal models exist too, but are poorly standardized. Ischemic and hemorrhagic experimental models are available, with the intraluminal filament model being predominant. Outcomes are evaluated via quantifying subjects' sensorimotor impairment, cognitive memory faculties, degree of cellular ...

Beyond Nature's Blueprint: Macrocyclic Peptides Containing Unnatural Amino Acids in Therapeutic Development

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Strategic incorporation of unnatural amino acids transforms macrocyclic peptides into drug‐like molecules capable of engaging challenging targets. These building blocks enhance stability, permeability, and bioavailability, accelerating the development of next‐generation peptide therapeutics.

Aortic valve disease: Novel animal models for advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Due to the complex pathophysiology of aortic valve disease (AVD) and the resulting lack of effective pharmacotherapy, existing animal models are valuable research tools, but each has its own strengths and limitations. This review systematically surveys the major AVD models, compares their induction methods, pathological features, advantages and ...

Metal Oxides Catalyze Formation of Dehydroamino Acids by Phosphate β‐Elimination Under Physiological Conditions

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.

Serum Chitotriosidase Links to Activated Glia at Chronic Active Lesion Rims in Multiple Sclerosis Brain

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to explore the association between 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO)‐positron emission tomography (PET)–measurable glial activation and serum chitotriosidase (CHIT1) in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), and its expression in postmortem MS brain tissue.

Functional Polymer‐Engineered Magnetic Nanoparticles as Dual‐Modal Theragnostic Probes for Early Alzheimer's Disease Detection and Therapy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The nanoparticle consists of a 3 nm iron oxide core functionalized with an amphiphilic polymer coating containing Aβ‐targeting DSA moieties and biocompatible PEG chains. This design supports measurable transport in a BBB‐related model and specific interaction with Aβ species, while providing MRI contrast enhancement for diagnosis and therapeutic ...

Silk Fibroin for Cardiovascular Medical Devices: Review of Material Properties, Applications, and Clinical Potential

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Silk fibroin is an attractive natural biomaterial that can be engineered into diverse cardiovascular constructs, including vascular grafts, cardiac patches, heart valves, and stent coatings. Its tunable biological and mechanical properties have driven substantial preclinical progress; however, widespread clinical translation in cardiovascular ...

Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...
