CHEWED OUT: AN EXPERIMENTAL LINK BETWEEN FOOD MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND REPETITIVE LOADING OF THE MASTICATORY APPARATUS IN MAMMALS

Chewed out: an experimental link between food material properties and repetitive loading of the masticatory apparatus in mammals

Using a model organism (rabbits) that resembles a number of mammalian herbivores in key aspects of its chewing behaviors, we examined how variation in dietary mechanical properties affects food breakdown during mastication.Such data have implications for understanding phenotypic variation in the mammalian feeding apparatus, particularly with respec

Case report: A rare DLST mutation in patient with metastatic pheochromocytoma: clinical implications and management challenges

BackgroundPheochromocytoma is one Rod Holders of the most hereditary human tumors with at least 20 susceptible genes undergoing germline and somatic mutations, and other mutations less than 1% -2%.In recent years, other rare mutations have gradually been discovered to be possibly related to the pathogenesis and metastasis of pheochromocytoma.Most p

Dysregulated SREBP1c/miR-153 signaling induced by hypertriglyceridemia worsens acute pancreatitis and delays tissue repair

Severe acute pancreatitis (AP) is a life-threatening disease with up to Polyurethane 30% mortality.Therefore, prevention of AP aggravation and promotion of pancreatic regeneration are critical during the course and treatment of AP.Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is an established aggravating factor for AP that hinders pancreatic regeneration; however, i
