Climate Change Impacts on Broussenetia papyrifera Pollens - Metabolome Investigations and Prospects of Allergy Prevalence

This study investigates how climate change affects Broussonetia papyrifera pollen physiology and allergenicity through metabolome and morphological analyses across seasons and regions in Pakistan.

Outcome-selective reinstatement is predominantly context-independent, and associated with c-Fos activation in the posterior dorsomedial striatum

This paper investigates outcome-selective reinstatement in rats, finding it is context-independent and linked to c-Fos activity in the posterior dorsomedial striatum.

Tissue Engineered Axon-Based Living Scaffolds Promote Survival of Spinal Cord Motor Neurons Following Peripheral Nerve Repair

This study compares living and non-living scaffolds for nerve repair, finding that tissue-engineered grafts (TENGs) preserve motor neuron health and function as effectively as autografts.

The response of culturally important plants to experimental warming and grazing in Pakistan Himalayas

This study examines how warming and grazing affect medicinal plants in the Pakistan Himalayas, finding warming increases plant cover and biomass while grazing reduces it, with implications for local communities.

Comparison among the first representative chloroplast genomes of Orontium, Lasia, Zamioculcas, and Stylochaeton of the plant family Araceae: inverted repeat dynamics are not linked to phylogenetic signaling

The paper compares chloroplast genomes of four Araceae genera, finding inverted repeat dynamics are homoplasious and not useful for phylogenetic analysis.

Tyrosine-Derived Polycarbonate Nerve Guidance Tubes Elicit Pro-Regenerative Extracellular Matrix Deposition When Used to Bridge Segmental Nerve Defects in Swine

This study evaluates tyrosine-derived polycarbonate nerve guidance tubes in swine, showing they promote pro-regenerative extracellular matrix deposition and Schwann cell infiltration compared to collagen-based tubes.

Tissue Engineered Axon Tracts Serve as Living Scaffolds to Accelerate Axonal Regeneration and Functional Recovery Following Peripheral Nerve Injury in Rats

This study shows tissue-engineered axon tracts enhance axonal regeneration and functional recovery in rats with sciatic nerve injuries, outperforming nerve guidance tubes and matching autografts.

Calcitriol and Non-Calcemic Vitamin D Analogue, 22 Oxacalcitriol, Attenuate Developmental and Pathological Ocular Angiogenesis Ex Vivo and In Vivo

This study validates the anti-angiogenic effects of calcitriol and 22-oxacalcitriol in ocular models, showing reduced choroidal angiogenesis and improved safety profiles.

Pharmacological Restoration of Visual Function in a Zebrafish Model of von-Hippel Lindau Disease

This study shows that sunitinib restores visual function and corrects vascular abnormalities in vhl-/- zebrafish, suggesting its potential therapeutic use for VHL-related retinal issues.

Efficient and reproducible somatic embryogenesis and micro propagation in tomato via novel structures -Rhizoid Tubers.

The paper develops an efficient method for tomato somatic embryogenesis and micropropagation using rhizoid tubers, reducing regeneration time from 60 to 45 days.
