This study shows that L-WNK1 in intercalated cells enhances BK channel activity in response to a high K+ diet, which is critical for urinary K+ secretion.

This study investigates how PIP2 regulates TRPC5 channel activation and desensitization through gating control rather than cell surface density.

The paper develops a microstructure-aware model for biochemical transport in arterial blood clots, demonstrating coherent flow structures and permeation processes.

The paper investigates the role of SDH subunit C in muscle oxygen consumption and fatigability in an animal model of pulmonary emphysema, finding that SDHC regulates respiration and fiber type composition.

This pilot study investigates the effect of inspiratory muscle training on repeated-sprint ability and reoxygenation, finding no significant group differences but suggesting the need for larger samples to detect effects.

The paper was withdrawn due to submission errors and does not provide original findings.

The paper introduces 21 genetically engineered mouse lines for combinatorial optogenetic studies in cardiovascular biology, enabling biallelic combination of effectors and sensors in multiple cell types.

The paper introduces LAM, an imaging method to analyze regional cellular phenotypes in Drosophila midgut, revealing regional heterogeneity in ISC responses to colitis.

This study identifies ALOX5 upregulation during breath-holding in dolphins as a potential molecular mechanism for ischemic tolerance during diving.

The paper introduces SUMIC, a fast and simple method for whole-organ and large tissue 3D imaging, revealing age-related expansion of lymphatic vessels in endocrine tissues.

This study shows that stress and CRF increase NEC risk in formula-fed neonatal rats, while CRF antagonism reduces NEC incidence and severity.

The paper shows that exogenous V12Rac1 enhances alveolar F-actin and prevents TNFR1 surge, reducing mortality in ALI caused by LPS or Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This study shows that deleting HuR in adipose tissue causes cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, likely through inflammation and vesicle transport changes in subcutaneous white adipose tissue.

This study investigates if three weeks of eccentric exercise increases Biceps femoris long head fascicle length through sarcomere addition, finding instead that sarcomere length increases without changes in sarcomere number.

This study compares postprandial plasma metabolite profiles in pigs selected for feed efficiency under good or poor housing hygiene conditions, finding differences in insulin, triglycerides, and amino acid levels between low- and high-RFI lines.

This paper performs a living Bayesian meta-analysis of 17 studies on taVNS effects on HRV, finding no significant effect and questioning HRV as a robust biomarker for acute taVNS.

The paper shows that mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) expression in alveolar type 2 cells determines ARDS severity by affecting Ca2+ buffering capacity.

This study shows RhoA in myofibers promotes hypertrophy by regulating satellite cell fusion through ECM remodeling and macrophage recruitment without affecting protein synthesis.

This study shows that heterozygous Vegfr3 mutation reduces renal lymphatics but does not impair renal function or histology, even after cisplatin injury.

This paper quantitatively examines how CPVT-linked RyR2 mutations affect ER Ca2+ release threshold by measuring CICR activity and simulating cellular responses.
