Machine learning-based model for behavioural analysis in rodents applied to the forced swim test.

Scientific reports
The Forced Swim Test (FST) is a widely used preclinical model for assessing antidepressant efficacy, studying stress response, and evaluating depressive-like behaviours in rodents. Over the last 10 years, more than 5500 scientific articles reporting ...

A soft robotic total artificial hybrid heart.

Nature communications
End-stage heart failure is a deadly disease. Current total artificial hearts (TAHs) carry high mortality and morbidity and offer low quality of life. To overcome current biocompatibility issues, we propose the concept of a soft robotic, hybrid (pumpi...

Volumetric atlas of the rat inner ear from microCT and iDISCO+ cleared temporal bones.

PeerJ
BACKGROUND: Volumetric atlases are an invaluable tool in neuroscience and otolaryngology, greatly aiding experiment planning and surgical interventions, as well as the interpretation of experimental and clinical data. The rat is a major animal model ...

The Role of Hydrogen Sulfide in the Localization and Structural-Functional Organization of p53 Following Traumatic Brain Injury: Development of a YOLO Model for Detection and Quantification of Apoptotic Nuclei.

International journal of molecular sciences
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers a cascade of molecular and cellular disturbances, including apoptosis, inflammation, and destabilization of neuronal connections. The transcription factor p53 plays a pivotal role in regulating cell fate followin...

Identification of m5C RNA modification-related gene signature for predicting prognosis and immune microenvironment-related characteristics of heart failure.

Hereditas
BACKGROUND: Methylation of RNA is involved in many pathophysiological processes. The roles of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N7-methylguanosine (m7G) in heart failure (HF) have been established. However, the impact of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) on HF and i...

Intestinal permeability of N-acetylcysteine is driven by gut microbiota-dependent cysteine palmitoylation.

Nature communications
Trillions of intestinal microbiota are essential to the permeability of orally administered drugs. However, identifying microbial-drug interactions remains challenging due to the highly variable composition of intestinal flora among individuals. Usin...

Evaluating safe infrared neural stimulation parameters: Calcium dynamics and excitotoxicity thresholds in dorsal root ganglia neurons.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: As a promising neural stimulation technique, infrared neural stimulation (INS) has recently gained significant attention due to its ability to stimulate neuronal activities without needing exogenous agents. NIR light is absorbed by water ...

Impact of dental pulp cells-derived small extracellular vesicles on the properties and behavior of dental pulp cells: an in-vitro study.

BMC oral health
BACKGROUND: Dental pulp cells-derived small extracellular vesicles (DPCs-sEVs) had shown immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and tissue function restorative abilities. Therefore, DPCs-sEVs should be considered as a promising regenerative tool for de...

Altered aminoacid and lipid metabolism in a rat orofacial inflammation model determined by omics approach: potential role in trigeminal sensitisation.

The journal of headache and pain
BACKGROUND: Trigeminal activation and sensitisation involved in chronic inflammatory orofacial pain share several similarities with headaches, including migraine. Therefore, understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms is important to determine no...
