This study shows that galectin-3 and N-acetylglucosamine enhance myogenesis and improve muscle function in the mdx DMD mouse model.

The paper sequences and analyzes the genome of a uropathogenic E. coli strain, identifying pathogenicity-associated genes and D3-specific transposable elements.

The paper generates a reference genome for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae and identifies pathogen-specific regions and novel effector candidates through genomic and transcriptomic analysis.

This study reports ocular and uteroplacental pathology in rhesus macaques infected with ZIKV during pregnancy, showing prolonged viral replication and severe fetal outcomes.

This study compares transcriptomics between rats and axolotls after spinal cord injury, finding shared upregulation of collagen-1 and its association with vascular remodelling.

The study investigates the biological effects of extracts from cryopreserved piglet heart and skin on wound healing and myocardial ischemia in rats, showing improved tissue regeneration and immune response.

This study uses MRI in a rat model to show impaired glymphatic flow in brain regions linked to cognitive deficits in chronic liver disease and minimal hepatic encephalopathy.

This study identifies 41 potential prognostic biomarkers for oral squamous cell carcinoma through a systematic review of existing literature.

This study evaluates the effects of combined XO-Inhibitors and ACE-Inhibitors on VEGF-A expression in the myocardium and renal cortex of chronic hypertensive rats, finding reduced fibrosis and enhanced angiogenesis with the combination treatment.

This paper develops a mouse model of biliary pancreatitis that mimics human gallstone and pancreatitis etiology, showing severe pancreas damage and multi-organ dysfunction.

This study identifies ATP1A1, BCL11B, and GLG1 as specific immunohistochemical markers for Ewing sarcoma, offering high specificity for diagnosis.

This study shows that obesity and T2DM lead to increased scar formation and fibrotic healing in tendons through enhanced M2 macrophage polarization and matrix synthesis.

This study establishes an improved murine model of cystic echinococcosis that mimics the natural infection route and immune response with stable growth dynamics.

This paper develops a computational model of 16 oncogenic RAS mutants and 14 RASopathy mutants to analyze their signaling strengths and implications for personalized medicine.

The paper describes a method for multiplex immunostaining on routine tissue sections using antibody stripping and common reagents, enabling multiple stains per section with reduced cost and complexity.

This study evaluates the stability of haematological parameters at different storage temperatures, finding that most parameters degrade rapidly at 33°C but some remain stable.

This study shows that chondroitin sulfate feeding in mice increases sulfatase-secreting bacteria, damages mucus layers, and causes systemic inflammation and multi-organ pathologies.

The paper reports on oral disease prevalence in a Chilean population over 14 years and compares it with a systematic review of eight countries.

This study infects pregnant rhesus macaques with ZIKV and observes prolonged maternal viremia and fetal tissue infection, indicating efficient vertical transmission.

The paper develops two models for predicting cause of death using mortality data, finding that a deep learning model with LSTMs outperforms N-gram based models by capturing temporal patterns.
