DOI: 10.1016/j.jinsphys.2021.104247
Abstract: Terestrial isopods have evolved adaptations to reduce water loss, which is necessary for life in low humidity environments. However, the evolution of a waterproofed cuticle to prevent loss of water to the environment could also… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/17448069211000910
Abstract: Common approaches to studying mechanisms of chronic pain and sensory changes in pre-clinical animal models involve measurement of acute, reflexive withdrawal responses evoked by noxious stimuli. These methods typically do not capture more subtle changes… read more here.
