Thiazolidinediones are partially effective bitter blockers

This study evaluates the effectiveness of thiazolidinediones (TZDs) as bitter blockers by testing their ability to reduce bitterness of TAF and PRAZ in two taste panels.

Targeting hypoxic habitats with hypoxia pro-drug evofosfamide in preclinical models of sarcoma

This paper develops deep-learning models to identify hypoxic tumor regions using MRI and histology, showing their effectiveness in predicting hypoxia and guiding TH-302 therapy response in sarcoma models.

Genetics of mouse Tas1r3-independent sucrose intake

This study identifies two new QTLs, Scon3 and Scon4, that influence sucrose intake in mice and act through a common postoral mechanism.

Genetics of mouse behavioral and peripheral neural responses to sucrose

This study identifies QTLs for sucrose consumption and neural responses in mice, finding new loci and confirming a known one involving the Tas1r3 gene.
