Animal studies of fatty liver disease over-estimate the benefit of drugs due to publication bias and are confounded by off-target weight loss, illustrating the challenge of successful translational across species.
Brain lactate and pH changes, identified as common features in diverse neuropsychiatric animal models, may represent transdiagnostic endophenotypes associated with cognitive impairment.

The introduction of infectious pathogens to a simulated animal population leads to rapid evolutionary transitions in how individuals move in a social context, with distinct movement morphs evolved that make trade-offs between sociality and infection risk.
A novel animal model of economic decision-making captures complex patterns of choice behavior similar to those of humans, opening the way for mechanistic studies to probe the neural basis for this important form of executive function.
Correlative imaging of the heart at multiple spatial scales has the potential to revolutionize the way we understand deficiencies in congenital heart disease.

Administration of cryopreserved as compared freshly cultured MSCs do not appear to negatively impact measures of in vivo efficacy or in vitro potency in animal models of inflammation.
Crosses of loaches with various genetic and karyptype divergence cause different reproductive outcomes in hybrids, ranging from sexual reproduction to sterility, inviability, and clonality among females.
