Erythrocyte ‘Feierzeit’ reaction: Novel filamentous and vesicular response to n‐butyl acetate
Abstract Human erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs) undergo spontaneous disassembly after several hours of exposure to n‐butyl acetate (nBA). Images of the morphological changes were captured in time‐lapse sequences using differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscopy.

Abstract Hunter‐gatherers faced the survival threat of confusing edible mushrooms with their poisonous twins, imposing selection pressure on those who failed to detect subtle visual differences. Grounded in the ancestral priorities framework, which posits that the human mind is adapted to handle prehistoric challenges, we investigated whether humans ...

Old dog, new trick: Charybdotoxin as a novel ryanodine receptor blocker
Abstract figure legend The peptide toxin charybdotoxin (ChTx) from the scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus was tested on single‐channel currents of the ryanodine receptor incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. The structure–function relationship of ChTx was investigated using toxin variants generated by isosteric substitutions of the basic amino acids ...

Professional Segmentation as a Barrier to Reform in Turkish Nursing
ABSTRACT This paper argues that segmentation within Turkish nursing is a major factor holding back the modernisation of nurse management. Since the millennium Türkiye's healthcare system has been transformed by NPM‐style reforms that changed financing mechanisms and strengthened aspects of performance management, but had only limited impact on nursing ...

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Abstract Snake envenomation remains a critical global public health challenge. In Brazil, the genus Bothrops is responsible for most accidents, typically resulting in coagulopathy, hemorrhage, and renal failure. Despite its clinical prevalence, the molecular mechanisms driving plasma protein disturbances remain poorly understood.
