SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLES AND VULNERABLE ROAD USERS
American Journal of Public Health, 2007 We read with interest the article by Robertson,1 and we certainly agree that the sports utility vehicles (SUVs) pose an increased risk to small car occupants as well as vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, older persons, and children.2 In many developing countries, pedestrians, cyclists, rickshaw operators, and moped users represent

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.
