Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibition inhibits epithelial ATP release and restores detrusor contractility in rats with type 2 diabetes via an increase in bladder blood flow

This study shows that PDE-5 inhibition improves bladder function in T2DM rats by increasing blood flow, reducing ATP release, and modulating inflammatory and growth factor markers.

An image segmentation pipeline optimized for human microglia uncovers sources of morphological diversity in Alzheimer's disease

This study develops an image segmentation pipeline to analyze human microglia morphology in Alzheimer's disease, revealing that microglia associated with amyloid plaques have distinct morphological features.

Intra- and inter-specific density dependence of body condition, growth, and habitat temperature in chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus)

This study examines how density dependence affects body condition, growth, and habitat temperature in chub mackerel, finding that conspecific and heterospecific abundance negatively impact body condition more than temperature.

BIN1 protein isoforms are differentially expressed in astrocytes, neurons, and microglia: neuronal and astrocyte BIN1 implicated in Tau pathology

The paper identifies BIN1 protein isoforms expressed in astrocytes, neurons, and microglia, finding that neuronal and astrocytic BIN1 containing exon 7 is associated with tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease.
