Evaluation of non-invasive hair snares for North American beavers (Castor canadensis): placement, efficiency, and beaver’s behavioral response [PDF]
PeerJAlthough the commercial demand for North American beaver (Castor canadensis) hair shaped much of the socio-ecological landscape of North America, use of beaver hair in wildlife research has focused on the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) and collection ...

Mechanism behind reduced resection ability of bent snares during cold snare polypectomy [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAccidental bending of the snare sheath occasionally occurs during cold snare polypectomy (CSP). We aimed to demonstrate whether snare bending reduces resection ability and, if it does, what causes this reduction.

Killing Neck Snares Are Inhumane and Non-Selective, and Should Be Banned [PDF]
AnimalsIn North America, where fur trapping remains an active practice, killing neck snares continue to be used for capturing canids, particularly red fox (Vulpes vulpes), coyote (Canis latrans), and gray wolf (Canis lupus).

Dual snare endoscopic extraction of a gastric foreign body using a dual‐channel endoscope [PDF]
DEN OpenForeign body ingestion, though rare, poses significant health risks, with 10%–20% of cases requiring endoscopic intervention. This article presents a novel case of a 16‐year‐old female who ingested a cigarette lighter, leading to abdominal pain and ...

Comprehensive study of SNAREs involved in the post-Golgi transport in Drosophila photoreceptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyPolarized transport is essential for the construction of multiple plasma membrane domains within cells. Drosophila photoreceptors serve as excellent model systems for studying the mechanisms of polarized transport.

Secretory vesicles are preferentially targeted to areas of low molecular SNARE density [PDF]
, 2012 Intercellular communication is commonly mediated by the regulated fusion, or exocytosis, of vesicles with the cell surface. SNARE (soluble N-ethymaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins are the catalytic core of the secretory ...

Reprocessing and Reuse of Endoscopic Accessories
Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, 2021 Endoscopic accessories are critical devices that breach sterile body sites. They have unique reprocessing difficulties compared with other medical and surgical devices because of their complex structure, narrow lumens, thermolabile construction materials,

SNARE Zippering Is Suppressed by a Conformational Constraint that Is Removed by v-SNARE Splitting
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Intracellular vesicle fusion is catalyzed by soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs). Vesicle-anchored v-SNAREs pair with target membrane-associated t-SNAREs to form trans-SNARE complexes, releasing free ...

SNAREs Regulate Vesicle Trafficking During Root Growth and Development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins assemble to drive the final membrane fusion step of membrane trafficking.

eLife, 2020 Yeast vacuole fusion requires R-SNARE, Q-SNAREs, and HOPS. A HOPS SM-family subunit binds the R- and Qa-SNAREs. We now report that HOPS binds each of the four SNAREs.
