This review summarizes recent research on the molecular properties and functions of L-PGDS and PGD2, but reports no new findings, highlighting their pathophysiological roles and guiding future studies.

This review discusses the occurrence and impact of background histopathologic changes in nonhuman primate research, emphasizing the importance of understanding these factors to enhance study validity and interpretation.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher global adiposity and increased visceral fat, particularly in the ip and mesenteric depots, compared to women without androgen excess.

This study observed that in spontaneously hypertensive rats, testosterone's effects on endothelium-dependent vasodilation involved reduced nitric oxide levels, increased oxidative stress, and greater reliance on endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization, with variations in these responses noted when testosterone was combined with either anastrozole or finasteride.

In this case study, a 78-year-old Japanese woman with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome experienced mesenteric lymphadenopathy, which reduced in size after treatment with the corticosteroid prednisolone. This suggests that mesenteric lymphadenopathy, though uncommon in CCS, may respond to steroid therapy.

This case study suggests that thrombosis was related to anti-phospholipid antibody in a woman with systemic lupus erythematosus, characterized by multiple aseptic bone necroses and arterial blockages.

The researchers reported that VEGF increases vascular permeability in mesenteric microvessels of anaesthetized frogs through specific cellular pathways involving tyrosine autophosphorylation and PLC activation.

In this study, minoxidil sulfate was found to relax norepinephrine-induced contractions in rabbit mesenteric arteries, possibly by acting as a K+ channel agonist, but it did not relax K+-induced contractions.

This study found that topical application of carpronium chloride led to arteriolar vasodilation and increased blood flow in rat mesenteric arterioles, without affecting systemic blood pressure.

This study found that supraphysiological doses of testosterone alter endothelial relaxation pathways in hypertensive rats, with varied contributions from nitric oxide, prostanoids, and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors, influenced by estrogen and dihydrotestosterone levels.

In isolated rat lymph vessels, this study found that ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers impair lymph contractions and reduce lymph flow, potentially contributing to peripheral edema.

This case report describes a 7-year-old girl initially misdiagnosed with SMA syndrome, but later found to have a gastric trichobezoar via EGD, highlighting the diagnostic challenges in children with nonspecific symptoms.

This case report highlights that equine multisystemic eosinophilic epitheliotropic disease should be considered in horses presenting with skin lesions and gastrointestinal symptoms, as illustrated by the progression in a 5-year-old horse despite treatment.

This study identified a single autosomal recessive gene responsible for hypotrichosis in a mutant rabbit strain, affecting hair growth and causing epidermal and hair follicle abnormalities.

This study observed that methylene blue staining and zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide techniques effectively revealed anatomical details of intraepidermal nerve fibre endings in the rat's mystacial pad, suggesting their potential role in mechanoreception.

This study found that methylene blue staining may reveal anatomical details of intraepidermal nerve fibre endings in the rat mystacial pad with greater clarity than the zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide technique.

In this study, researchers observed that P2X3-immunoreactive fibers extensively innervate the epidermis of rats, suggesting a primary role in detecting noxious stimuli in cutaneous tissue.

This study proposes that the terminal tuft structure in sensory nerve endings, involving Schwann cell processes and axon fingers, potentially plays a role in mechano-electric transduction in rats.

This study found that sensory and sympathetic innervation in the mystacial pads of mice is governed by a balance of neurotrophin signaling, highlighting the roles of NGF/trkA and NT-3/trkC pathways.

This study suggests that the anchorage of the arrector pili muscle to the extracellular matrix is likely mediated by α5β1 integrin, with α1β1 integrin involved in muscle cell-cell adhesion.

In this case study, a 26-year-old female with PLEC mutations and features of muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis showed significant improvement in symptoms following steroid treatment.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.

This study found that concentrated clusters of noradrenergic nerve fibers form a longitudinal linear system in rat skin, particularly innervating arrector pili muscles.

This study observed that electrical stimulation of specific mechanoreceptive afferents in the orofacial region can evoke sensations consistent with their response properties, while others may require multiple afferents to access perceptual levels.

This study found that the vermilion border and mucosa of the monkey lip have a dense sensory innervation, which correlates with their known tactile sensitivity.

The researchers reported that mast cell and nerve fiber interactions in mouse skin are highly selective for nerve fiber types and vary depending on the hair cycle phase.

This study observed that innervation of the mystacial pad in rats by fine-caliber axons is more extensive and complex than previously described, with distinct differences in labeling patterns depending on the tracer and survival time.

This study revealed the complex three-dimensional innervation of touch domes in cat forepaw skin, highlighting the extensive branching and unmyelinated endings associated with Merkel cell–axon complexes.

This review summarizes a 15-year collaboration on the role of synaptic-like vesicles in mechanosensory nerve terminals and suggests potential therapeutic implications for conditions like hypertension and muscle spasticity.
