Dystrophia Smolandiensis is characterized by a novel NQO1 variant and a distinct phenotype from COL17A1‐associated epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To determine the molecular cause of the two epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophies, Dystrophia Smolandiensis and Dystrophia Helsinglandica, and to identify phenotypic differences between the two conditions. Methods DNA samples and clinical data from structured interview records were obtained from the Swedish families in which ...

Trace Element Patterns in Juvenile Wild Chimpanzee Dentitions

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trace elements are used to infer mammalian early‐life diets, environmental toxins, dispersal patterns, stress histories, and weaning ages. Here, we employ laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) to reveal elemental patterns in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees.

Nonhuman Primate Model of Oculocutaneous Albinism with TYR and OCA2 Mutations

Research, 2020
Human visual acuity is anatomically determined by the retinal fovea. The ontogenetic development of the fovea can be seriously hindered by oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), which is characterized by a disorder of melanin synthesis.

The Company We Keep: Effects of Different Social Environments on Male Guinea Pig Behaviour and Hormones Over the Course of the Ontogeny

Ethology, EarlyView.
To examine how their behaviour and hormones change over different life phases, male guinea pigs experienced two different social environments from juvenility to adulthood. Only one environment contained social stimulation by unfamiliar conspecifics. Although no differences in testosterone and cortisol concentrations were found, it was interesting that ...

Developing a Virtual Model of the Rhesus Macaque Inner Ear

Bioengineering
A virtual model of the rhesus macaque inner ear was created in the present study. Rhesus macaques have been valuable in cochlear research; however, their high cost prompts a need for alternative methods.

Albinism in a juvenile rhesus macaque Macaca mulatta (Zimmermann 1780) from the Brahmaputra Valley of Assam, India (Primates: Cercopithecidae)

Natural History Sciences
Color aberrations are rare phenomena in wild mammals and are often associated with genetic disruptions affecting melanin production or deposition. The rhesus macaque Macaca mulatta, one of the most widespread primate species in India, has only rarely ...

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 ...

Periodontal considerations during orthodontic intrusion and extrusion in healthy and reduced periodontium

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract In patients with advanced periodontal disease, pathological tooth migration may occur, which may require subsequent orthodontic treatment for both aesthetic and functional purposes. When planning orthodontic treatment mechanics, intrusive or extrusive forces are frequently indicated.

Understanding extracellular vesicles in antiaging

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Aging is a multifactorial process marked by gradual cellular dysregulation, regulated by hallmarks, including genomic instability, mitochondrial dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, have emerged as pivotal mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication with potential roles in both ...
