This study examines bodily sensations in individuals with depressive tendencies during music listening, finding strong head sensations linked to negative emotions and specific chord progressions.

This study shows that fluid shear stress increases megalin trafficking rates in proximal tubule cells, enhancing endocytic capacity and drug uptake, despite reduced surface megalin levels.

This study identifies SLC35G1 as a chloride-sensitive transporter responsible for basolateral citrate absorption in the intestine.

This study investigates codeine's effects on swallowing in anesthetized cats, finding both central and peripheral mechanisms contributing to dysregulated swallowing.

This study compares TRα and TRβ knockout mice with DNA-binding-deficient mutants to show noncanonical TR signaling contributes to physiological functions beyond canonical genomic pathways.

This study examines electroanatomical changes in guinea pig hearts from neonatal to adult stages, finding age-related differences in conduction velocity, action potential duration, and excitation-contraction coupling.

This study identifies glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling in myeloid cells as a key contributor to salt-sensitive hypertension (SSBP) through SGK1 and IsoLG pathways, distinct from mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) mechanisms.

This paper shows that myocardial infarction creates a time window where AAV gene therapy is more effective in mice, improving gene expression and therapeutic outcomes when administered three days post-infarction.

This study found no effect of menstrual cycle phase or oral contraceptive use on neuromuscular impairments after eccentric exercise or the repeated bout effect.

This study shows that a glucose-fed microbiota in C. elegans reduces lifespan and healthspan, increases intestinal permeability, and raises susceptibility to bacterial pathogens.

This study shows that schooling fish reduce their energy expenditure in turbulent flow by 63-79% compared to solitary fish.

The paper examines particulate contamination in human placentas, identifying both plastic and non-plastic particles and noting their presence in regions associated with maternal and fetal circulation.

This study compares the effects of human and mouse growth hormone on glucose homeostasis in transgenic mice fed high fat diets, finding initial resistance to insulin resistance in human GH-expressing mice.

This study shows that placental EVs from early-onset preeclampsia impair maternal vascular function, while those from late-onset preeclampsia have minimal effect.

This study investigates the roles of anion exchange and Cftr in regulating mucus expansion and secretion in the colon and ileum, finding that anion exchange controls expansion while Cftr mediates de novo secretion.

This study shows that TCA cycle dysfunction and amino acid catabolism in mice with HFpEF drive hepatic steatosis similar to human NAFLD.

This study shows that ABCC1 deficiency in male mice affects glucose metabolism and insulin tolerance on a high-fat diet without altering tissue corticosterone levels.

This study evaluates how different levels of longitudinal bending stiffness in advanced footwear affect running economy and spatiotemporal parameters in trained runners.

The paper investigates how moth wingbeat frequency relates to resonant frequency and biomechanical adaptations across species.

This study measures surface temperatures of captive Gentoo penguins during moult to assess thermal challenges from increased insulation and heat dissipation needs.
