Healthy young female New Zealand White rabbits had an operation on their lower back disc (between L3 and L4 vertebrae): surgeons made a tiny cut through side belly muscles to reach the disc, used X-ray guidance to find the spot, sliced a 1.5-2 mm window in the tough outer disc ring with a scalpel, scooped out the soft jelly center (nucleus pulposus) using a curette to remove as much as possible, then closed up the muscles and skin; rabbits got pain meds, healed without limping or nerve problems, and were checked out at 6 or 12 weeks before testing spine flexibility. Right after surgery (on dead rabbits), the spine became looser and moved more in bending, stretching and twisting, but in live rabbits, scar tissue grew over time to make it stiffer and more stable than normal, suggesting the body heals to protect the back.},

abstract = {This study looked at whether giving testosterone back to neutered male dogs is safe and what dose works best. Twelve neutered dogs were given weekly testosterone injections at different dose levels for 90 days. The researchers checked their blood hormone levels, general health, prostate size and behaviour throughout the study. They found that testosterone levels rose as expected and that even the highest doses did not cause major short-term health or behaviour problems. One hormone that is usually high after neutering (luteinizing hormone, or LH) decreased at higher testosterone doses, which may have potential health benefits. Overall, the treatment appeared to be well tolerated during the study period, though one dog with a past history of seizures had seizures again while on treatment. The findings suggest that carefully monitored testosterone therapy may be a possible option to restore hormones in neutered dogs. However, the study was small and short-term, and the researchers note that more research is needed to understand long-term safety.},

They also discovered changes in DNA markers (epigenetics) that may help explain how pollution exposure in the womb leads to lasting effects on lung health.

Male Sprague–Dawley rats were either housed individually (social isolation) or in groups of four (controls) from postnatal day 22–24 to day 64–66, then killed so that their prefrontal cortex could be removed and analysed using RNA sequencing and follow‑up PCR tests. The isolated rats showed 183 gene expression changes, many overlapping with changes in human frontal cortex from patients and involving proteins that existing or potential drugs can target. The researchers concluded that the findings support this post‑weaning isolation procedure as a model for studying how chronic social stress alters the brain and for identifying new treatment targets.},

The most anterior part of the prefrontal cortex (frontopolar cortex) is highly developed in anthropoids; however, no previous study has examined its essential (indispensable) role in regulating the interplay between action execution and inhibition. In this cross-species study, we examine the performance of humans and macaque monkeys in the context of a stop-signal task and then assess the consequence of selective and bilateral damage to frontopolar cortex on monkeys’ behaviour. Humans and monkeys showed significant within-session practice related adjustments in both response execution (increase in response time (RT) and decrease in response variabilities) and action inhibition (enhanced inhibition). Furthermore, both species expressed context-dependent (post-error and post-stop) behavioral adjustments. In post-lesion testing, frontopolar-damaged monkeys had a
longer RT and lower percentage of timeout trials, compared to their pre-lesion performance. The practice-related changes in mean RT and in RT variability were significantly heightened in frontopolar-damaged monkeys. They also showed attenuated post-error, but exaggerated post-stop, behavioural adjustments. Importantly, frontopolar damage had no significant effects on monkeys’ inhibition ability. Our findings indicate that frontopolar cortex plays a critical role in allocation of control to response execution, but not action inhibition.},

abstract = {Peptide-based vaccines can trigger highly specific immune responses, although peptides alone are usually unable to confer strong humoral or cellular immunity. Consequently, peptide antigens are administered with immunostimulatory adjuvants, but only a few are safe and effective for human use. To overcome this obstacle, herein a peptide antigen was lipidated to effectively anchor it to liposomes and emulsion. A peptide antigen B cell epitope from Group A Streptococcus M protein was conjugated to a universal T helper epitope, the pan DR-biding epitope (PADRE), alongside a lipidic moiety cholesterol. Compared to a free peptide antigen, the lipidated version (LP1) adopted a helical conformation and self-assembled into small nanoparticles. Surprisingly, LP1 alone induced the same or higher antibody titers than liposomes or emulsion-based formulations. In addition, antibodies produced by mice immunized with LP1 were more opsonic than those induced by administering the antigen with incomplete Freund’s adjuvant. No side effects were observed in the immunized mice and no excessive inflammatory immune responses were detected. Overall, this study demonstrated how simple conjugation of cholesterol to a peptide antigen can produce a safe and efficacious vaccine against Group A Streptococcus – the leading cause of superficial infections and the bacteria responsible for deadly post-infection autoimmune disorders.},

Non-diabetic baboons also show a dose-dependent reduction in blood glucose. No biochemical or haematological toxicity or adverse events were observed in mice, rats and non-human primates.

There is a pressing need to develop an effective vaccine suitable for equitable distribution globally. Consequently, we previously developed a proprietary DNA vaccine encoding secreted non-structural protein 1 of ZIKV (pVAX-tpaNS1) to elicit rapid protection in a T cell-dependent manner in mice. In the current study, we evaluated the stability, efficacy, and immunogenicity of delivering this DNA vaccine into the skin using a clinically effective and proprietary high-density microarray patch (HD-MAP). Dry-coating of pVAX-tpaNS1 on the HD-MAP device resulted in no loss of vaccine stability at 40°C storage over the course of 28 days. Vaccination of mice (BALB/c) with the HD-MAP-coated pVAX-tpaNS1 elicited a robust anti-NS1 IgG response in both the cervicovaginal mucosa and systemically and afforded protection against live ZIKV challenge. Furthermore, the vaccination elicited a significantly higher magnitude and broader NS1-specific T helper and cytotoxic T cell response in vivo compared with traditional needle and syringe intradermal vaccination. Overall, the study highlights distinctive immunological advantages coupled with an excellent thermostability profile of using the HD-MAP device to deliver a novel ZIKV DNA vaccine},

abstract = {Objectives: This study aimed to validate a repeated measures cognitive affective bias (CAB) test in a rat model of chronic stress and compare CAB with forced swim test (FST) measures.
Method: Male and female Sprague Dawley rats were trained to associate large and small rewards with scent, spatial, and tactile cues, and their response to an ambiguous tactile stimulus tested. Rats underwent weekly CAB testing for 4 weeks with no intervention, or for 2 weeks of chronic restraint stress (CRS), followed by 2 weeks of fluoxetine, vehicle, or no treatment. CRS rats also underwent the FST at selected timepoints.},

abstract = {Primary visual cortices in many mammalian species exhibit modular and periodic orientation preference maps arranged in pinwheel-like layouts. The role of inherited traits as opposed to environmental influences in determining this organization remains unclear. Here, we characterize the cortical organization of an Australian marsupial, revealing pinwheel organization resembling that of eutherian carnivores and primates but distinctly different from the simpler salt-and-pepper arrangement of eutherian rodents and rabbits. The divergence of marsupials from eutherians 160 million years ago and the later emergence of rodents and rabbits suggest that the salt-and pepper structure is not the primitive ancestral form. Rather, the genetic code that enables complex pinwheel formation is likely widespread, perhaps extending back to the common therian ancestors of modern mammals.},
