This study examines shoulder torque and power trade-offs during isokinetic and multiplanar tasks, finding that torque decreases while power increases with angular velocity, independent of torso conditions.

This study identifies a paracellular water secretion pathway in the lacrimal gland regulated by non-muscle myosin IIC, which modulates tight junction permeability and can be targeted for dry eye treatment.

This study investigates the role of B55α in cardiac transcriptome regulation, finding sex-specific effects on cardiac fibrosis and gene expression.

This paper identifies structural determinants of PKA-C essential for CFTR activation, showing two distinct regions mediate reversible and irreversible activation, and highlights the role of PKA-C myristoylation in this process.

This study shows that hibernation reduces GABA signaling in brainstem circuits, enhancing respiratory motor activity at cooler temperatures.

This study shows septins regulate heart contractility by modulating store-operated calcium entry in cardiomyocytes, using Drosophila models and genetic manipulations.

This paper compares action potential thresholds across different electrostimulation models and shows how they affect occupational exposure limit values.

This study identifies ELO-6 expression as a predictor of longevity in isogenic C. elegans populations and shows its regulation by PQM-1.

This study identifies reduced insulin-mediated suppression of fatty acid release and altered skeletal muscle lipid droplet characteristics as predictors of insulin resistance in adults with obesity.

This paper describes a protocol for analyzing muscle fiber type and cross-sectional area in cryosections of whole lower mouse hindlimbs using immunofluorescence and histochemistry.

This study develops a rat model of unilateral Glenn circulation to study early and progressive intrapulmonary shunting in single ventricle pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.

This study shows that neurons detect harmful food sources and trigger systemic digestive shutdown to avoid harm.

This study identifies maternal phenotypes influenced by temperature and photoperiod in Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, showing photoperiod increases starvation resistance while temperature affects egg retention and oviposition timing.

This study establishes a new rodent model of preeclampsia by inducing intrauterine growth restriction in pregnant rats, showing elevated blood pressure and oxidative stress.

This study shows that α-synuclein overexpression and the microbiome alter the gut and brain metabolome in mice, with TMAO levels correlating across tissues and linking to PD-like outcomes.

This study examines how LPS and Shiga toxin exposure affect gene expression in endothelial cells, finding synergistic effects at 24 hours.

This study investigates the role of mu-opioid receptors in pancreatic islet alpha cells, showing they regulate glucagon secretion and are linked to metabolic disease.

This paper demonstrates that overexpressing the N-terminal fragment of Nav1.5 restores cardiac sodium current and electrical activity in models of Brugada syndrome.

The paper reports the coexistence of ST-segment depression and exaggerated blood pressure response in older runners during exercise stress tests, suggesting the need for cardiovascular risk assessment in masters athletes.

This study improves the 90:20 Isometric Posterior Chain Test by adding precise instructions and parameters, resulting in better validity and reliability for assessing hamstring strength.
