Contribution of animal models to diabetes research: Its history, significance, and translation to humans. [PDF]
Animal models of diabetes and application to human studies ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus is still expanding globally and is epidemic in developing countries. The combat of this plague has caused enormous economic and social burdens related to a lowered quality of life in people with diabetes.

Artificial intelligence for neurodegenerative experimental models
Abstract INTRODUCTION Experimental models are essential tools in neurodegenerative disease research. However, the translation of insights and drugs discovered in model systems has proven immensely challenging, marred by high failure rates in human clinical trials.

A marker of intestinal inflammation was 44% greater in Parkinson's disease, exceeding a cut‐point for inflammatory bowel disease in 16%. It was associated with a higher maltose and sucrose intake. The emerging picture is of systemic inflammatory response consequent on intestinal inflammation, clinical phenotype being described by deficits in faecal ...

Caenorhabditis nematodes colonize ephemeral resource patches in neotropical forests
Caenorhabditis nematodes are real animals that live in nature. Field collections and experiments in tropical forests reveal new information about their diversity, ecology, behavior, phylogenetics, population biology, and biogeography. Abstract Factors shaping the distribution and abundance of species include life‐history traits, population structure ...

Abstract P2RX7, an ionotropic receptor for extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), is expressed on immune cells, including macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells and is upregulated on nonimmune cells following injury. P2RX7 plays a role in many biological processes, including production of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)‐1β ...

Innate lymphoid cell characterization in the rat and their correlation to gut commensal microbes
Rat ILCs are here defined and characterized across multiple tissues, and we have defined the borders between rat NK cells and ILC1s via scRNA‐Seq. Variations of intestinal ILC frequencies in individual rats were mapped against composition of the commensal microbiota. Abstract Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are important for tissue immune homeostasis, and

Fine mapping of bone structure and strength QTLs in heterogeneous stock rat [PDF]
We previously demonstrated that skeletal structure and strength phenotypes vary considerably in heterogeneous stock (HS) rats. These phenotypes were found to be strongly heritable, suggesting that the HS rat model represents a unique genetic resource for

Nest-building behaviour in male rats from three inbred strains: BN/HsdCpb, BDIX/Or1Ico and LEW/Mol
AbstractThree inbred strains of male laboratory rat (BN/HsdCpb, BDIX/Or1Ico and LEW/Mol) were provided with nest boxes and nest materials, and were observed for nest-building activity. After 7 days, each cage and nest box was examined. Each nest was weighed and scored for complexity, and returned to the cage.

Mycophenolate mofetil inhibits lymphocyte binding and the upregulation of adhesion molecules in acute rejection of rat kidney allografts. [PDF]
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) interacts with purine metabolism and possibly with the expression of adhesion molecules. In the present study, we analysed the expression of these molecules in transplanted kidney allografts treated with RS LBNF1 kidneys were ...
