S14G‐humanin attenuates renal ischaemia–reperfusion injury, potentially through activation of STAT3 and ERK1/2 signalling pathways in rats

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Renal ischaemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury leads to acute tubular necrosis and renal failure, triggering pathological mechanisms including inflammation, reactive oxygen species generation, apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction. The mitochondrial peptide humanin (HN), known to possess anti‐apoptotic and anti‐inflammatory properties, has been ...

Protective effect of cannabinoid type 2 receptor agonist (JWH‐133) against hepatotoxicity induced by Prangos ferulacea Lindl. extract

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated Prangos ferulacea (PF)‐induced hepatotoxicity, its potential association with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and proinflammatory cytokines, and the effect of the cannabinoid type 2 receptor agonist JWH‐133. Rats (n = 37) were divided into four groups: control–sham group (CSG, n = 9), PF extract group (PG, n = 9), PF ...

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Born early, age fast: Consequences of premature birth on chronic disease and accelerated ageing

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend ELGANs are exposed to several postnatal pro‐oxidant stressors, including ambient and supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, infections, hyperalimentation, excessive glucocorticoids and intermittent hypoxia. Since endogenous antioxidant defences are underdeveloped, this imbalance promotes oxidative stress and inflammation ...

Preeclampsia‐derived small extracellular vesicles disrupt blood–brain barrier integrity and activate glial cells in vitro

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This study assessed the impact of plasma‐derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from healthy pregnant women and those diagnosed with late‐onset preeclampsia (PE) on the blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity and glial cell response. PE patients had higher sEV concentrations than healthy controls.

A Topographical Anatomical Description of the Orbit of the Alpaca, Vicugna pacos

open access: yesVeterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To describe the gross anatomy of the orbita in Huacaya alpacas, identify species‐specific features, and provide comparative anatomical information relevant to clinical ophthalmic practice. Animals Studied Nine heads from postmortem donated Huacaya alpacas were used. Procedures Two skulls were evaluated to characterize the orbita, and

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

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2214-2239, October 2026.
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

CX3CR1 Modulates Migration of Resident Microglia Towards Cortical Laser‐Induced Lesions

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 10, October 2026.
CX3CR1 deficiency promotes microglial migration toward CNS injury. Proteomic profiling reveals altered RHO‐mediated cytoskeletal signaling, while in vivo two‐photon imaging demonstrates increased process extension, velocity, and accumulation of Cx3cr1‐deficient microglia at lesion sites. ABSTRACT Microglia are innate immune cells of the central nervous

Laparoscopic Methylene Blue Photodynamic Therapy for Intraabdominal Infection: A Preclinical Feasibility Study in a Rabbit Model of Perforated Appendicitis

open access: yesLasers in Surgery and Medicine, Volume 58, Issue 8, Page 644-655, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Perforated appendicitis commonly results in intra‐abdominal infection requiring prolonged antibiotic therapy. Intraoperative antimicrobial adjuncts are limited, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) may provide a targeted, resistance‐independent approach.

Clinical and Histopathological Evaluation of Maximal and Supramaximal Energy Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT): A Rabbit Model Safety Study

open access: yesLasers in Surgery and Medicine, Volume 58, Issue 8, Page 693-703, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aimed to assess the clinical and histopathological effects of maximal available and supramaximal energy exposure in direct selective laser trabeculoplasty (DSLT®) on target and nontarget ocular tissues compared with selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and sham treatments.
