Metabolism Controls the Timing of Human Brain Development and Maturation
ABSTRACT Among primates the human brain is the largest in size, exhibiting a higher neuronal density and connectivity. The prolonged expansion and subsequent connectome reorganization of the human brain have been suggested to promote higher cognitive and behavioral abilities.

In vivo imaging enables high resolution preclinical trials on patients' leukemia cells growing in mice. [PDF]
Xenograft mouse models represent helpful tools for preclinical studies on human tumors. For modeling the complexity of the human disease, primary tumor cells are by far superior to established cell lines.

Laparoscopic Embryo Transfer in Swine: An Effective Alternative to Traditional Open Surgery
ABSTRACT While embryo transfer (ET) has not yet been widely adopted in the commercial swine industry, it is an essential tool in biomedical research, including the creation of gene‐edited pigs. Traditionally, ET in pigs is performed by open surgery (laparotomy), an effective but invasive and time‐consuming method associated with risks such as infection

Xenoperfusion—The Transformative Role of Machine Perfusion in Xenotransplantation
ABSTRACT Recent advances in xenotransplantation have gained substantial public and clinical attention as genetically modified porcine organs are now being transplanted into living human recipients. While only case reports have been published to date, the first clinical trials for kidney xenotransplantation are now ongoing.
