Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) remains a critical concern in epilepsy management, with the underlying mechanisms still not fully understood. Recent research from Iyer, S., et al (2024) has highlighted the role of respiratory dysfunction in SUDEP, particularly involving the orexinergic system in the brain. This blog delves into a fascinating study that investigates how altered ventilatory respon
Anorexia, a condition characterized by a significant reduction in food intake despite negative energy balance, poses severe risks to health and quality of life. It manifests in various forms in humans, including anorexia nervosa and physiological anorexia. While psychological and social factors have been widely studied, the physiological causes remain less understood.

The evaluation of cardiovascular toxicity is a significant challenge in drug development. Preclinical evaluation of cardiovascular safety involves a multifaceted approach, encompassing a plethora of in vitro and in vivo endpoints.
These assessments continuously evolve, aiming to mitigate the incidence of cardiovascular toxicity that may emerge during clinical trials.
To shed light on the
Ischaemic heart diseases continue to be a major global health concern and a leading cause of death. To develop more effective treatments, it is essential for researchers to work with animal models that closely replicate human cardiac physiology. In a notable step forward, Pius et al. present a refined, minimally invasive ovine model of ischaemia–reperfusion–infarct
A recent study led by Decan Jiang and colleagues from RWTH Aachen and Heidelberg University Hospitals in Germany has shed light on how porcine models are helping surgical training—particularly in the complex field of kidney transplantation.
Pigs are anatomically and physiologically close to humans, making them ideal candidates for surgical training. Practicing renal autotransplanta
