The use of human tissue surrogates in anatomical modeling for gunshot wounds simulations: an overview about “how to do” experimental terminal ballistics by Lucas Meciano Pereira dos Santos, Marcelo Rodrigues da Cunha, Carlos Henrique Bertoni Reis, Daniela Vieira Buchaim, Daniela Vieira Buchaim, Ana Paula Bernardes da Rosa, Leandro Moreira Tempest, José Augusto Parola da Cruz, Rogério Leone Buchaim, Rogério Leone Buchaim, João Paulo Mardegan Issa, João Paulo Mardegan Issa

“…Human tissue simulating materials are currently used in scientific research mainly because they help to avoid possible ethical issues, unlike what happens with studies involving live animals and/or human cadavers. The use of ballistic gelatin as a human soft tissue surrogate stands out, although other types of materials can be used, including polyurethane and polydimethylsiloxane in the simulation of bones and skin respectively, not to mention some computational models that completely replace the physical use of surrogate models for gunshot wound simulation. …”

Gene function revealed at the moment of stochastic gene silencing by Shreyan Gupta, James J. Cai

“…Analysis of real data demonstrates that scSGS can reveal regulatory relationships up- and downstream of target genes, circumventing the survivorship bias that often affects gene knockout and perturbation studies. scSGS thus offers an efficient approach for gene function prediction, with significant potential to reduce the use of genetically modified animals in gene function research.…”

Synaptic Plasticity and Excitation-Inhibition Balance in the Dentate Gyrus: Insights from In Vivo Recordings in Neuroligin-1, Neuroligin-2, and Collybistin Knockouts by Peter Jedlicka, Julia Muellerleile, Stephan W. Schwarzacher

“…In this minireview, we discuss recent studies unraveling molecular mechanisms of excitatory/inhibitory synaptic transmission, long-term synaptic plasticity, and dentate granule cell excitability in the hippocampus of live animals. We focus on the role of three major postsynaptic proteins localized at excitatory (neuroligin-1) and inhibitory synapses (neuroligin-2 and collybistin). …”

Role of Bile Acids in Dysbiosis and Treatment of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease by Caihua Wang, Chunpeng Zhu, Liming Shao, Jun Ye, Yimin Shen, Yuezhong Ren

“…During the past decade, stimulation of bile acid receptors with their agonists has been extensively explored for the treatment of NAFLD in both animal models and clinical trials. Early evidence has suggested the potential of bile acid receptor agonists in NAFLD management, but their long-term safety and effectiveness need further clarification.…”

Rescue RM/CS-AKI by blocking strategy with one-dose anti-myoglobin RabMAb by Xinyue Wang, Ning Li, Lu Han, Ou Qiao, Xin Chen, Pengtao Wang, Lancao Zhang, Yingjie Hou, Fengjiao Bao, Herui Hao, Sania Saeed, Li Zhang, Zizheng Li, Xiaohong Duan, Shuquan Rao, Zichuan Liu, Yanhua Gong

“…A single dose of anti-Mb RabMAb injection is sufficient for emergency rescue in both homologous and heterologous RM/CS-AKI male animal models. The main goal of blocking the passage of free Mb through the glomerular filtration barrier has been achieved by using the anti-Mb RabMAb, which has a long-term stable therapeutic effect within 14 days and promotes phagocytosis of Mb. …”

Tospoviruses (Family Bunyaviridae, Genus Tospovirus) by Scott Adkins, Tom Zitter, Tim Momol

“…At this time, the identification and characterization of several similar viruses, including Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV), led to the creation of the plant-infecting Tospovirus genus within the Bunyaviridae family, a large group of predominantly animal-infecting viruses. More than a dozen tospoviruses have since been identified and characterized and previously unknown species of the genus continue to be described on a regular basis. …”

Introducing maximum sustainable yield targets in fisheries could enhance global food security by Christian Elleby, Ignacio Pérez Domínguez, Rasmus Nielsen, Max Nielsen, Ayoe Hoff

“…Maximum sustainable yield management of overfished stocks could increase yields by 10.6 Megatons, equivalent to 12% of total catches and 6% of aquatic animal production in 2022. This would alleviate the need for aquaculture expansion by an equivalent of 3 years of growth in the aquaculture sector at its current level, and reduce meat and feed demand. …”

Epigenetic Modifications and Potential New Treatment Targets in Diabetic Retinopathy by Lorena Perrone, Carmela Matrone, Lalit P. Singh

“…As with other diabetic complications, diabetic retinopathy (DR) is characterized by the metabolic memory, which has been observed both in DR patients and in DR animal models. Evidences have provided that after a period of poor glucose control insulin or diabetes drug treatment fails to prevent the development and progression of DR even when good glycemic control is reinstituted (glucose normalization), suggesting a metabolic memory phenomenon. …”
