A Fluorine-19 Magnetic Resonance Probe, Shiga-Y5, Downregulates Thioredoxin-Interacting Protein Expression in the Brain of a Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease

Molecules, 2021
Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) is involved in multiple disease-associated functions related to oxidative stress, especially by inhibiting the anti-oxidant- and thiol-reducing activity of thioredoxin (TXN).

Bleeding anorectal varices treated by a direct puncture approach through the greater sciatic foramen: The utility of a steerable microcatheter for reverse catheterization

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Bleeding is less common from anorectal varices than from esophageal varices, but it is potentially life-threatening. Here, we present a case of a woman in her 70s with critical hemorrhage from anorectal varices.

The Swimming Setae of Daphnia carinata [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 1950
ABSTRACT The structure, renewal, embryonic development, and regeneration of the swimming setae of Daphnia carinata are described. Each seta is formed by four giant cells, two (the core cells) forming the distal segment, and two (the sheath cells) the proximal segment. The inner ends of these cells extend back, as the seta strand, through

How Does a Delicate Insect Wing Resist Damage? Chitin Orientation Is Adapted to the Mechanical Demands at the Nanoscale

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoscale chitin fiber orientations in the insect wing play a critical role in adapting to complex mechanical demands. These findings reveal two distinct and functionally adaptive chitin orientation patterns in the membranes that vary regionally, optimizing mechanical resilience and deformation control.
