Isolation of primary keratinocyte stem cells (KSCs) from neonatal mouse epidermis is essential for studying skin physiology and related disorders. Traditional methods often struggle to balance keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, and although recent advancements using low-calcium culture conditions have improved these techniques, protocols remain scattered. This study presents a streamlined approach to expand mouse KSCs in low-calcium medium (<0.

Accurate identification of decreasing trends is a prerequisite for successful conservation, but can be challenging when immigration compensates local declines in abundance. Here, we show that a potential declining trend driven by low vital rates was overridden and converted into a spectacular increase by massive immigration into the population of a semi-social raptor, the black kite Milvus migrans, breeding in a highly contaminated area near a major landfill. Immigration was promoted by a growing food-base of live prey, coupled with the attraction exerted by the progressive gathering of a large flock of non-breeders at the area, resulting in an "attraction spiral" that lured large numbers of breeders to settle into a contaminated population incapable of self-sustenance.

Since its advent, artificial intelligence (AI) has been continuously researched, and substantial progress has been made in many fields, such as the diagnosis and therapies for cancer. Due to the advantages of high efficiency, rapidity, and precision, AI has been increasingly adopted in the medical field to improve patient prognosis and the efficiency of medical procedures. Thus, AI technology has become a powerful driving force and support mechanism in the medical and health industry.

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is a real-time, intuitive, sensitive, and minimally invasive technique for monitoring changes from pulmonary nodules (PN) to lung cancer (LC). The integration of submandibular vein blood sampling enables rapid, stable, and straightforward detection of imaging and key target alterations during the progression of PN to LC. In this study, we administered a dosage of 100 mg/kg of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone in A/J mice to develop a lung adenocarcinoma model.

Introduction/aims: Improved methodologies to monitor the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are needed, especially in the context of clinical trials. We report changes in muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters in participants with DMD, including changes in lean muscle volume (LMV), muscle fat fraction (MFF), and muscle fat infiltration (MFI) and their relationship to changes in functional parameters.
Methods: MRI data were obtained as part of a clinical study (NCT02310763) of domagrozumab, an antibody-targeting myostatin that negatively regulates skeletal muscle mass.
