Axons Giving Rise to the Palisade Endings of Feline Extraocular Muscles Display Motor Features [PDF]

, 2013
Palisade endings are nerve specializations found in the extraocular muscles (EOMs) of mammals, including primates. They have long been postulated to be proprioceptors. It was recently demonstrated that palisade endings are cholinergic and that in monkeys

Differential gaze behavior towards sexually preferred and non-preferred human figures [PDF]

, 2011
The gaze pattern associated with image exploration is a sensitive index of our attention, motivation and preference. To examine whether an individual’s gaze behavior can reflect his/her sexual interest, we compared gaze patterns of young heterosexual ...

Innovative Transfer Method for Rib Coaptation Plate in Thoracoscopic Fixation of Rib Fractures

Annals of Thoracic Surgery Short Reports
Purpose: Complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for rib fracture has gained extensive clinical recognition. Precise placement and robust fixation of rib coaptation plates are crucial for the success of this technique.

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...
