Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Prebiotic fiber blend supports growth and development and favorable digestive health in puppies

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionA healthy gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome has been shown to be essential for proper nutrient absorption and metabolism, maintenance of intestinal epithelial integrity and osmolarity, gut immunomodulation, and overall health.

On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.

Histopathologic Analysis of the Morpho‐Functional Zones of the Human Acetabular Labrum

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The structural and functional adaptation of soft tissues to mechanical load controls their ability to withstand injury and influences their capacity for healing. Similar to the knee meniscus, the acetabular labrum exhibits zonal differences in mechanical load distribution, resulting in distinct regions with unique structural and functional ...

Expression of mutant TIE2 p.L914F during mouse development causes embryonic lethality and defects in vascular remodeling

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sporadic venous malformation (VM) is associated with the hyperactivating p.L914F mutation in TIE2, a receptor tyrosine kinase essential for vascular development. This mutation is not found in hereditary VM, suggesting incompatibility with life when expressed during early vascular development.

Goofy/123Cre lineage tracing differentiates olfactory and vomeronasal neurons from GnRH‐1 and terminal nerve neurons during neuronal migration and reveals additional olfactory placode‐derived cells in the brain

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract The olfactory placode (OP) generates a broad array of chemosensory neurons in the nasal region, including olfactory sensory neurons, vomeronasal sensory neurons, neurons of the septal organ, and Grueneberg ganglion. During invagination, the OP also generates migratory neuronal populations, including gonadotropin‐releasing hormone‐1 (GnRH‐1 ...

Drosophila male genitalia rotation depends on permissive remodeling of the posterior abdomen

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background One of the most characteristic morphogenetic processes in Drosophila is the 360° rotation of the male pupal genital disc. This movement is driven by the myosin Myo1D, whose expression in the genital disc is controlled by the Hox gene Abdominal‐B (Abd‐B).

Timing is everything: The effect of early‐life seizures on developing neuronal circuits subserving spatial memory

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Spatial memory, the aspect of memory involving encoding and retrieval of information regarding one's environment and spatial orientation, is a complex biological function incorporating multiple neuronal networks. Hippocampus‐dependent spatial memory is not innate and emerges during development in both humans and rodents.
