This study shows that OPA1 mutation causes corneal innervation issues, including reduced sensitivity and impaired regeneration, despite normal epithelial function.

This study shows that IAPV remains infectious and quantifiable in postmortem honey bees for at least 48 hours.

This study compares the effects of endurance and resistance exercise on OPMD skeletal muscle in mice, finding that resistance exercise reduces PABPN1 aggregates and reverses muscle atrophy, while endurance exercise increases aggregates and collagen deposition.

The paper develops two qPCR assays to detect and quantify Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus clades in maize kernels, showing strong correlations between DNA and aflatoxin levels.

This study reviews and analyzes preclinical treatments for Chagas disease using animal models, finding promising candidates but limited clinical success.

This study shows that myeloid-specific thrombospondin-1 deficiency increases aortic rupture risk by suppressing extracellular matrix proteins and inflammation in aneurysms.

This study develops a CKD-PH rat model through 5/6 nephrectomy and high-salt diet, showing increased Ang II and RAAS imbalance, ACE2 downregulation, and metabolic changes linked to pulmonary hypertension.

This study quantifies host feeding patterns of Culicoides species, finding some exhibit fixed preferences while others are opportunistic, with geographic variations influencing behavior.

This study identifies PbEGF1, an effector from Plasmodiophora brassicae, which manipulates plant immunity and promotes infection by degrading BnNHL13.

This study identifies a circRNA_012164/miR9-5p axis that promotes cardiac fibrosis in diabetic cardiomyopathy through regulation of fibrotic gene expression.

This study maps the qualitative changes in coronary atherosclerotic cap characteristics during lesion progression and destabilization using a pseudo-timeline approach.

This study compares protein adsorption by PMMA and PES hemodiafilters in OL-HDF, finding PMMA adsorbs more inflammatory proteins like IL-6 and beta-2 microglobulin.

This study identifies NFIX as a critical regulator of cancer stemness in gastric cancer using spatial transcriptomic analysis and shows its correlation with poor prognosis.

The paper analyzes rabies outbreaks in Zambia from 2013 to 2023, identifying trends in cases and risk zones through epidemiological methods and spatial analysis.

This study shows that Endomucin deficiency delays retinal vascular development and reduces pathological neovascularization in mouse models.

This paper develops a deep learning model to detect HER2 status in breast cancer, showing higher concordance with ground truth than pathologists for HER2-low cases.

This study shows that moderate-term dimethyl fumarate treatment reduces dystrophic muscle pathology in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, with anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-lipogenic effects.

The paper provides a protocol for measuring retinal capillary and subendothelial matrix stiffness in mice using atomic force microscopy.
