Alterations in brain metabolites in rats with experimental periodontitis: A metabolomic approach

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disease with systemic effects. Emerging evidence suggests a link between periodontal inflammation and neurological changes, but the biochemical mechanisms in key brain regions, such as the hippocampus and amygdala, remain unclear.

LPCAT3 as a Potential Drug Target for Ultraviolet Radiation–Induced Cataract: Insights From Multiomics Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a major risk factor for cataract development, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process, particularly the involvement of regulated cell death pathways such as ferroptosis, remain unclear. Transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses were performed on lens tissues from UVB‐induced cataract rat ...

A new nuclear marker, the “VKORC1 gene exon 3 region”, for the identification of Anatolian Rattus spp.

BMC Zoology
In this study, exons 1, 2, and 3 of the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) gene, which has been used to indicate anticoagulant rodenticide resistance, were analyzed to investigate whether it is an effective marker for the ...

Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy Associated With Systemic Treatment in Osteoradionecrosis: An In Vivo Study

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), systemic pharmacological therapy, and their combination on irradiated mandibular post‐extraction bone repair relevant to osteoradionecrosis (ORN) development in a rat model. Methods Twenty‐six male Wistar rats were initially randomized into five experimental groups:

Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

Relational values, motivations, and benefits drive community commitment to urban predator control for ecological restoration

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Volunteers play a crucial role in urban ecological restoration, and in the Aotearoa New Zealand context, volunteer effort is a central tool used to drive landscape‐scale conservation outcomes. Here, we identify the motivations and benefits that drive community involvement and commitment to conservation initiatives, drawing on a unique case ...

Trophic niche of invasive murid rodents in urban and peri-urban areas in South Africa: insights from stable isotope analysis

BMC Zoology
There are three invasive Rattus species (R. norvegicus, R. rattus, R. tanezumi) that are known to occur in South Africa. The three Rattus species are widespread in urban and peri-urban areas where they have had a significant impact on human health ...

Integrative Bioinformatics, Experimental Validation, and Interpretable Machine Learning Reveal Oxyresveratrol‐Mediated Protection Against Cadmium‐Induced Lung Adenocarcinoma‐Related Transcriptional Dysregulation

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal strongly implicated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) through mechanisms involving oxidative stress, epigenetic dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. This study aimed to identify Cd‐responsive genes associated with LUAD and to evaluate the protective effects of oxyresveratrol (O‐RES) against Cd‐induced ...
