Distribution of Big Tau Isoforms in the Human Central and Peripheral Nervous System
Objective Tau is widely studied in neurodegeneration, yet most work has focused on canonical brain tau isoforms. A longer isoform, “big tau,” produced by inclusion of exon 4a, is expressed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) regions.

Objective Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by deletions or mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene and subsequent reduction in the expression of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. The disease is characterized by degeneration of α motor neurons and subsequent muscle atrophy.

Intermittent catheter use can damage the urinary tract and predispose to infection. We deployed a complex human urothelial model to investigate. Catheter contact induced compressive and shear stress causing umbrella cell disruption, reduced barrier function, inflammation and increased cell adhesion to the catheter surface.

Spatial Cell Death and Oxidative Stress Dynamics in Gas Plasma‐Treated Tumor Tissues
Schematic representation of the four experimental models to study tissue penetration and oxidation. Four tissue models were used. Human pancreatic cancer cells were grown on the chorioallantois membrane of chicken embryos and gas plasma‐treated in ovo, murine colorectal tumor tissue was gas plasma‐exposed ex vivo, murine squamous cell carcinoma cells ...

Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...
