The Wildcat That Lives in Me: A Review on Free-Roaming Cats (<i>Felis catus</i>) in Brazil, Focusing on Research Priorities, Management, and Their Impacts on Cat Welfare by Luana S. Gonçalves, Daiana de Souza Machado, Maria Eduarda Caçador, Giovanne Ambrosio Ferreira, Christopher R. Dickman, Maria Camila Ceballos, Fabio Prezoto, Aline Cristina Sant’Anna

“…In Australia, for example, cats are responsible for the decline in many vertebrate populations and extinction of several native mammals. However, in Brazil, few studies have explored either direct impacts of predation on wildlife, or other indirect impacts, such as competition for resources, niche overlap, hybridization, and disease transmission. …”

Xenopus laevis neural stem progenitor cells exhibit a transient metabolic shift toward glycolysis during spinal cord regeneration by Paula G. Slater, Paula G. Slater, Miguel E. Domínguez-Romero, Guillermo Campos, Guillermo Campos, Vania Aravena, Vania Aravena, Javier Cavieres-Lepe, Verónica Eisner

“…Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in severe disruption of communication between the brain and body, causing motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunctions. While SCI in mammals leads to permanent impairment due to limited regenerative capacity, certain non-mammalian species, such as Xenopus laevis larval stages, exhibit remarkable regenerative abilities. …”
