Evaluating EndoC βH5 pseudoislets as a model for human islet transplantation

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The EndoC βH5 cell line represents a promising human β‐cell model for preclinical diabetes research. Indeed, EndoC βH5 cells aggregate into islet‐like organoids, secrete insulin in a glucose‐dependent manner, and express a variety of β‐cell functional markers.

Von Willebrand Factor and ADAMTS13 in Relation to Atherosclerosis in the General Population: The Rotterdam Study

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Higher von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels and lower ADAMTS13 activity are linked to increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but their association with atherosclerosis burden, a potential underlying mechanism, remains unclear.

The reporting of dental studies involving animal models requires improvement

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor reporting of animal model studies undermines their value and contributes to research waste. In this study, reporting adherence of dental animal studies in relation to the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines was assessed. A Medline via PubMed search to identify studies published between 1st January 2018 and 31st December 2025 was performed.

Wee1 kinase differentially regulates maize CDKA2;1a and CDKB1;1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In eukaryotes, Wee1 kinase inhibits the kinase activity of CDK/Cyc complexes through phosphorylation of a conserved residue in the CDK moiety. Wee1 is also present in plants, but has been scarcely studied. We have studied maize Wee1 regulation of CDKA/CycD2;2a or CDKB/CycD2;2a complexes.

Characterization of dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate profiles during brain regeneration in Styela plicata

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.

Tankyrase‐2 regulates adipocyte differentiation through AMPK/mTOR signaling

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Tankyrase 2 (TNKS2), a PARP family member, underpins adipocyte differentiation. TNKS2 controls LKB1 protein level, and consequently, the activity of the mTOR/AMPK system and adipocyte differentiation through a layered process. Pharmacological inhibition of TNKS2 leaves other PARPs and DNA repair active and therefore represents a novel target in ...

A live‐cell autophagy reporter reveals reversible vacuolation in naked mole‐rat skin fibroblasts under lysosomal stress

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
A tandem fluorescent mCherry–EGFP–LC3 reporter enables live‐cell visualisation of autophagy–lysosome dynamics in naked mole‐rat skin fibroblasts. Chloroquine‐induced lysosomal stress promotes accumulation of neutral LC3‐positive compartments and triggers pronounced LC3‐associated vacuolation.

Surface charge alterations in urinary extracellular vesicles mirror diabetic kidney disease pathophysiology

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study reveals that changes in the electrical charge, that is zeta potential of large extracellular vesicles (uEVs) found in urine, can reflect disease progression from diabetes to kidney scarring (fibrosis). With further clinical development, measurement of uEVs charge could provide a simple, noninvasive way to monitor disease progression and help

Human dissection and comparative anatomy: Archaeological evidence for nineteenth‐century anatomical practice at University College London

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Excavation at University College London revealed more than 8700 human skeletal fragments representing at least 38 individuals, alongside over 800 animal remains. Features consistent with dissection, specimen preparation and curation provide evidence for the use of human and animal material in nineteenth‐century anatomical education, offering rare ...

Neuroanatomy education through the years: Revisiting the teaching slides used by Sir Wilfrid Edward Le Gros Clark

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This paper examines the life and legacy of British anatomist Sir Wilfrid Le Gros Clark through his neuroanatomical teaching collection at the University of Oxford. The authors catalogued 103 specimens and analyzed selected slides—including cases of multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, tabes dorsalis, syringomyelia, and the pineal gland's ...
