This study shows that endothelial PHD2 deficiency leads to nitrative stress via suppression of Caveolin-1, contributing to pulmonary arterial hypertension and vascular remodeling.

This study shows that influenza virus inhibits alveolar wall liquid secretion, promoting fatal lung injury from staphylococcal infection, and that restoring this secretion protects against lung damage.

This study shows obesity disrupts pituitary UPR, leading to NAFLD, and demonstrates that restoring pituitary UPR can ameliorate metabolic defects.

This study investigates whether bacterial abundance and diversity increase in human placenta with gestational age and if there is an associated shift in decidual immune cell phenotype.

This paper describes a protocol for preparing large biological samples for high-resolution X-ray microtomography, improving contrast and reducing motion and bubble formation.

The paper examines oxidative stress integration in dominant and subordinate male cichlids, finding greater functional integration in dominant males.

This study examines how severe hypoxia affects visual and auditory responses in a reduced turtle brain preparation, finding visual responses are reduced while auditory responses remain intact.

This study shows that endothelial NCK2 promotes atherosclerosis in male but not female Nck1-null atheroprone mice, with effects dependent on disease stage and sex.

This study shows that exercise reduces sclerostin in white adipose tissue, affecting body composition and metabolism in male mice.

The paper establishes a reconstituted DICR platform in HEK293 cells to validate skeletal muscle disease mutations and test drug candidates.

This study shows that pancreatic delta cells regulate the glycemic set point in mice by modulating beta cell insulin response through paracrine signaling.

This study characterizes heterotopic ossification in rat Achilles tendons using synchrotron X-ray tomography, revealing unique mineralized collagen fiber structures and their growth dynamics.

This study shows that Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 in the maternal gut microbiota promotes placental development, nutrient transport, and fetal growth in mice.

A prebiotic diet reduces motor deficits and microglial activation in α-synuclein overexpressing mice by altering gut microbiota and microglial states.

This study tests natural product inhibitors of SIRT1 to enhance muscle hypertrophy, finding a 62% increase in fiber cross-sectional area with an optimal combination.

The paper investigates gene expression and alternative splicing interactions in redside dace under acute thermal stress, revealing transcriptional pathways relevant to conservation and thermal tolerance.

This study compares thermal stress responses and transcriptomic profiles of different shell colour morphs in the snail Batillaria attramentaria, finding that dark morphs exhibit preparative defense strategies and higher cardiac thermal tolerance.

The paper investigates how insulin signaling and anti-insulin mechanisms in ants link reproduction to extended longevity through gene expression analysis in different castes.

This paper develops a non-destructive method to measure rice panicle-level photosynthetic responses using 3D imaging and gas exchange analysis, revealing differential responses to heat stress between two rice genotypes.

This paper introduces a computational method to identify atrial regions susceptible to micro-reentry by modeling percolation-like phenomena on spatial networks of atrial fibre maps.
