This study shows that sugar diets affect humidity preference and survival in mosquitoes, with potential for mosquito control.

This study uses RNAi to investigate Catalase's role in freeze tolerance in the spring field cricket, finding temperature-dependent RNAi efficacy and no effect of Catalase knockdown on freeze survival.

This study shows that low-dose prenatal DBP exposure reduces placental efficiency in female fetuses but not males in CD-1 mice.

The paper identifies a unique cardiac neuronal population expressing calbindin-D28k with distinct electrophysiological properties linked to arrhythmia susceptibility and cardiac pathologies.

This study shows that SETD2 promotes lipotoxic injury in cHFpEF by regulating SREBP1 and lipid metabolism, and its inhibition improves cardiac function.

This study shows that mTORC2 and dietary potassium coordinate renal glucose reabsorption and gluconeogenesis through independent mechanisms, with implications for diabetes management.

This study shows CXCL16 drives synovial inflammation and joint pain through CXCR6, suggesting it as a target for treating post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

This study shows that sildenafil enhances microvascular adaptations to exercise training in obese mice, independent of endothelial nitric oxide synthase function.

This study identifies myostimulin, a protein derived from C1ORF54, which enhances muscle function and recovery in mice, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic for musculoskeletal diseases.

This study examines sex-specific metabolic effects of FGF21 deficiency and glucagon analog treatment in female mice, revealing exacerbated obesity and altered glucose tolerance in females.

This study finds no impact of western red cedar hive boxes on honey bee overwintering survival or detoxification enzyme expression compared to pine boxes.

This study uses computational models to show that low levels of PKP2 gene therapy transduction in ACM patients do not significantly improve conduction velocity but may increase conduction block risk with higher transduction.

This study identifies TMEM65 as a regulator of NCLX-dependent mitochondrial calcium efflux, showing its role in preventing calcium overload and cell death in excitable tissues.

This study shows that cervical lymphatic obstruction in rats leads to brain swelling, increased cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue water content, resembling hydrocephalus and cerebral edema.

The paper presents a general theory of metabolism linking animal taxonomy and size to metabolic scaling laws, showing how the Metabolic Module explains metabolic rate across species.

The paper identifies a set of genes whose expression predicts obesity susceptibility before symptoms appear, validated across species and tissues.

This study shows that Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice causes skeletal muscle dysfunction, as evidenced by reduced muscle force during tetanic contractions, highlighting similarities with human MS.

The paper shows that arterial loops regress under hemodynamics-based diameter adaptation in computational and mathematical models.

This study examines age-dependent differences in cardiac hypertrophy and regression in female mice following exercise and detraining, identifying distinct molecular pathways in young versus adult hearts.
