This study identifies markers for skeletal muscle-derived extracellular vesicles (SkM-EVs) and shows they mainly function within the muscle microenvironment rather than contributing significantly to plasma EVs.

This study investigates how ocean acidification affects otolith overgrowth in fish by analyzing pH regulation in blood and endolymph, finding that endolymph pH regulation under high CO2 leads to increased bicarbonate and carbonate ions, promoting otolith overgrowth.

This study shows that hypoxia in aquatic environments triggers emergence behavior and gill remodeling in mangrove rivulus fish, creating a positive feedback loop that promotes terrestrial behavior.

This study finds that dystrophin deficiency in mdx mice does not significantly affect SR Ca2+ handling in unbranched, immediately post-necrotic fibres, challenging the traditional view of significant Ca2+ pathology.

This study shows DRP1 clusters at mitochondria-SR contact sites via β-actin, maintaining mitochondrial quality control in adult hearts despite reduced DRP1 levels.

The paper identifies genetic links between transpiration efficiency and restriction in African rice, finding heritable traits that could improve water use strategies in breeding.

This study investigates if Type II muscle fibre properties influence reactive balance during walking after perturbations in young and older adults, finding no significant associations.

This study shows that systemic LSD1 inhibition reduces obesity-related metabolic issues like NAFLD and improves insulin sensitivity in mice without affecting lean mice.

This study examines age and noise-induced hearing loss in desert locusts, finding that noise causes temporary changes while age leads to neuron loss and increased resting potential.

This study shows Septin-7 is essential for skeletal muscle structure and function, as its absence causes deformities, reduced force generation, and impaired myotube differentiation.

This study evaluates the efficacy of inhaled omega-3 fatty acid formulations in reducing LPS-induced acute lung inflammation in rats, finding that ethyl ester forms were most effective.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze the effects of exercise and diet on adipose and muscle tissues in mice, identifying key cell types and pathways involved in metabolic changes.

This study compares biomechanical differences in scapular and glenohumeral movements between injury-prone and healthy college baseball pitchers during pitching, finding greater horizontal abduction and less scapular internal rotation in injury-prone pitchers.

This study shows that hyperoxic breathing improves repeated-sprint performance and training load in athletes by increasing oxygen saturation, total work, and neuromuscular efficiency.

This study examines how cerebrovascular response to exercise interacts with APOE genotype and amyloid-beta deposition to affect response inhibition in older adults.

This study shows that deleting Lgr4/5 in mouse livers disrupts Wnt/β-catenin signaling, leading to fatty liver disease and fibrosis.

The paper identifies PTMs on β-MHC in human hearts and shows their changes in failing hearts, suggesting acetylation levels are influenced by PTM location rather than disease type.

This study shows that heat stress prevents the biomass and yield benefits of elevated CO2 in wheat, with cultivar-specific effects on photosynthesis and nitrogen allocation.

The paper presents a high-resolution X-ray tomography dataset of a whole human left lung, capturing multiscale anatomical details from macroscopic to microscopic levels.

This study tests osteocrin gene therapy to prevent glucocorticoid-induced osteocyte damage in mice, finding partial protection against osteocyte death but not all skeletal effects.
