Research progress in animal models of dry eye disease: Types, mechanisms, and application prospects
Pivotal multifactorial animal models for translational dry eye disease research. Abstract Dry eye disease (DED) is a prevalent and complex multifactorial ocular surface disorder, leading to significant visual discomfort and diminished quality of life.

Ingestive behaviour and physiology of the medicinal leech [PDF]
Ingestion lasts 25 min in Hirudo medicinalis and is characterized by pharyngeal peristalsis which fills the crop. This peristalsis has an initial rate of 2.4 Hz which decays smoothly to 1.2 Hz at termination of ingestion. During ingestion, the leech body

Four aspiration methods (UV, IN, IT, and OA) were compared, and OA was identified as the most effective delivery technique. A chronic aspiration pneumonia model was then established through repeated OA of food suspension or gastric contents. Integrated analyses, including micro‐CT, histopathology, cytokine profiling, and RNA sequencing, revealed ...

Artificial Mucin-based Saliva Preparations - Physicochemical and Tribological Properties.
To create and investigate artificial mucin-based saliva substitutes with properties similar to natural saliva.Natural saliva and six saliva preparations were tested. Saliva substitutes were made using phosphate buffered saline (PBS) prepared in deionised water or plasma-treated water (PBSPT) with addition of porcine gastric mucin and guar gum or ...

Natural Aging of Biomaterials in Ambient and Physiological Environments
Biomaterials used in biomedical applications can change their physical properties over time, even under ambient and physiological conditions. This review highlights key studies on the natural aging of materials ranging from soft hydrogels to metals and ceramics, emphasizing how time‐dependent changes influence function and performance.
