“…Figure 3Q–S and Figure S8F–H (Supporting Information) show that administration of NPs could significantly reduce oxidative stress in ICH model rats by blocking the lipid peroxidation chain reaction and improving the activity of antioxidative enzymes compared with the other three groups. [ 15a ] These results were consistent with the in vitro results and intracellular ROS levels described above.…”

“…In organisms, glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disulfide (GSSG), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) are part of complex antioxidative systems that counteract excessive ROS production and maintain physiological homeostasis. [ 15 ] In the present study, the levels of GSH/GSSG, SOD, and MDA within HT‐22 cells that were treated with H 2 O 2 (700 µ m ) were measured, and the results showed that the addition of 100 µg mL −1 NPs increased the GSH/GSSG and SOD levels and reduced the MDA level in H 2 O 2 ‐treated cells compared with PACs and Mino (Figure 2I–K). Furthermore, the biosafety of the three drugs (NPS, Mino, and PACs) in vivo was also evaluated by haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining samples from major organs, including the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney, 7 days after ICH induction (4 days after the last drug administration).…”

Poor prognosis is often expected after the treatment of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) when the approach lacks effective neuroprotective interventions. Minocycline (Mino) is a promising clinical neuroprotective candidate for acute ICH therapy that mainly inhibits activation of microglia/macrophages. However, to address iron neurotoxicity, ferroptosis, and oxidative stress‐induced multiple neuroinjury mechanisms, the neuroprotective effect of minocycline still urgently needs to be enhanced. To address this issue, procyanidins (PACs), typical natural polyphenols, is used to improve the neuroprotective effect of Mino by constructing PACs‐Mino nanoparticles (NPs) using 3‐aminophenylboronic acid as the crosslinker. The yielding NPs possessed improved antioxidant and iron‐removing capacities in vitro. More importantly, PACs‐Mino NPs exerted excellent therapeutic effects on ICH, showing improved neuroprotective activity and resulting in neurobehavioral recovery, in an in vitro cellular model and an in vivo ICH rat model. This study can provide a general strategy that uses natural polyphenols to boost the performance of drugs for ICH treatment, and the results may be further extended to other injuries of the central nervous system, such as brain injury and spinal cord injury.

“…Competition for spatial niches leading to habitat partitioning may occur at our study site. Olfactory marking induced by the presence of a potential competitor or predator can generate physiological stress that leads to different behavioural responses (Febrer-Serra et al, 2023). In particular, in the presence of a nocturnal co-occurring species (i.e.…”

One gecko’s pain is another gecko’s gain: is the Moorish geckoTarentola mauritanicabecoming invasive in France?

The Moorish geckoTarentola mauritanicais currently expanding around the Mediterranean basin as a result of natural dispersal and anthropogenic spread. The species is observed at several sites in sympatry with other gecko species. To date, no impact has been observed on the native species andT. mauritanicais not considered invasive. We present an eight-year survey in southern France, where it lives in sympatry with the European leaf-toed geckoEuleptes europaea. The survey started when the Moorish gecko was rare which enabled us to observe an important increase in abundance. This increase was strongly correlated with a notable decline ofE. europaea, explaining 49% of transect-specific temporal variation in abundance. We suspect that the increase inT. mauritanicadensity is causally related to this decline and recommend intensive monitoring of the species throughout the Mediterranean Basin to determine whether or not the species should be classified as invasive.
