Non-invasive physical plasma improves conventional wound management of cut and bite wounds in wild European hedgehogs by Jürgen Eichler, Björn Rulik, Alexander Abazid, Matthias B. Stope

“…Based on the biomedical effects known to date, it can be assumed that NIPP can also be used for wound treatment in non-human mammals. In this prospective, non-randomized monocentric clinical trial, 43 European hedgehogs with cut and bite wounds were treated with conventional wound management (CWM: 21 patients) and compared with 22 patients with CWM plus NIPP treatment (CWM + NIPP). …”

Multispanning membrane protein SIDT2 increases knockdown activity of gapmer antisense oligonucleotides by Kohshi Kusumoto, Kiyomi Sasaki, Yasunori Uchida, Ayaka Utsumi, Tokuyuki Yoshida, Satoshi Obika, Takao Inoue, Keiichiro Okuhira

“…In the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, the multi-pass transmembrane protein, SID-1, is involved in the cellular uptake of double-stranded RNAs. In mammals, SIDT1 and SIDT2 (SID-1 transmembrane family, members 1 and 2, respectively) are homologs of SID-1, yet their functional differences are not fully understood. …”

Why the brown ghost chirps at night by Livio Oboti, Federico Pedraja, Marie Ritter, Marlena Lohse, Lennart Klette, Rüdiger Krahe

“…Since the pioneering work by Moeller, Szabo, and Bullock, weakly electric fish have served as a valuable model for investigating spatial and social cognitive abilities in a vertebrate taxon usually less accessible than mammals or other terrestrial vertebrates. These fish, through their electric organ, generate low-intensity electric fields to navigate and interact with conspecifics, even in complete darkness. …”

Microplastic accumulation in snake-eyed lizard (Ophisops elegans Menetries, 1832) after long-term monitoring: habitats matter, not years by Cantekin Dursun, Kamil Candan, Kaan Karaoğlu, Çetin Ilgaz, Yusuf Kumlutaş, Elif Yıldırım Caynak, Serkan Gül

“…As these particles infiltrate various habitats, they are ingested by a wide range of organisms, from plankton to large marine mammals. The ingestion of MPs disrupts the food web, causing physical and chemical harm to animals at multiple trophic levels. …”

Dietary Conjugated Linoleic Acid Supplementation Leads to Downregulation of PPAR Transcription in Broiler Chickens and Reduction of Adipocyte Cellularity by Suriya Kumari Ramiah, Goh Yong Meng, Tan Sheau Wei, Yeap Swee Keong, Mahdi Ebrahimi

“…Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) act as an important ligand for nuclear receptors in adipogenesis and fat deposition in mammals and avian species. This study aimed to determine whether similar effects are plausible on avian abdominal fat adipocyte size, as well as abdominal adipogenic transcriptional level. …”

Genomic Variability among Field Isolates and Laboratory-Adapted Strains of Leptospira borgpetersenii Serovar Hardjo by Alejandro Llanes, Carlos Mario Restrepo, Pablo Riesgo-Ferreiro, Sreekumari Rajeev

“…Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo colonizes cattle kidneys and may occasionally infect humans and other mammals. Strains belonging to two clonal subtypes (types A and B) with marked differences in their pathogenicity in the hamster experimental model have been described for this serovar. …”

Unveiling Tissue‐Specific RNA Landscapes in Mouse Organs During Fasting and Feeding Using Nanopore Direct RNA Sequencing by Chengfei Jiang, Ping Li, Haiming Cao

“…Abstract Understanding tissue‐specific RNA landscapes is essential for uncovering the functional mechanisms of key organs in mammals. However, current knowledge remains limited, as short‐read RNA sequencing—the predominant method for assessing gene expression—depends on incomplete gene annotations and struggles to resolve the diverse transcripts produced by genes. …”

Specyfika rozwoju osobniczego Homo sapiens na tle ssaków łożyskowych i Naczelnych by Sławomir Kozieł, Anna Siniarska

“…During ontogeny, there are many phenomena that significantly differentiate humans from other mammals, including Primates. The present considerations and analysis of regression applied for many species to illustrate allometric relations of developmental spurts of height and weight to final values of these parameters in adults, allow to compare processes of growth of Homo sapiens with other Primates and to submit the following results: In Homo sapiens, the maximal rate of growth in length and body mass exists at the prenatal period (during gestation), and after birth, it decelerates. …”
