Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Root Repair With Centralization Using Reversed Suture Anchors for Extruded Medial Meniscus Tears

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract The root of the meniscus, as a core structure maintaining the biomechanical stability of the knee joint, plays a decisive role in delaying the occurrence of osteoarthritis by restricting abnormal displacement of the meniscus and ensuring the integrity of circumferential tension.

Combined Arthroscopic Medial Meniscal Root Repair and Centralization Using All‐Suture Anchors Without a Posteromedial Portal

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Medial meniscus posterior root tears frequently result in meniscal extrusion and disruption of normal tibiofemoral contact mechanics. Several techniques, including transtibial pullout and anchor‐based repair methods, are used for root repair and meniscus centralization.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.
