This study shows that perivascular adipose tissue in pregnant rats reduces uterine artery relaxation via cyclooxygenase-dependent mechanisms.

This study shows traumatic brain injury impairs vascular function by reducing Kir2.1 channel activity through PIP2 depletion caused by increased H2O2 and PLA2 activity.

This study shows that Tafazzin deficiency in pancreatic islets reduces insulin secretion and mitochondrial function under low-glucose conditions.

This study investigates the role of proprotein convertases in FGF23 processing in vivo, finding that furin contributes to cleavage under specific conditions but not universally.

This study shows that PECAM-1 helps maintain cardiac function under pressure overload by regulating remodelling and JNK signalling.

The paper identifies and characterizes a novel adipocyte population with active Wnt/β-catenin signaling that influences beige fat formation and glucose homeostasis in mice.

This study examines the relationship between Plasmodium falciparum parasite prevalence and entomological inoculation rate in Malawi, finding a delayed effect of EIR on PR and overlapping hotspots during high transmission seasons.

This study examines the prevalence of floating toe in children and its association with static postural stability, finding a high prevalence and a correlation between floating toe score and postural stability metrics.

The paper examines how muscle activation patterns change during perturbed walking, finding increased spectral power in lower-extremity muscles and differences in fiber type recruitment based on body state.

This study shows that adenovirus injection in mice causes prolonged macrophage mobilization in the anterior chamber, suggesting potential confounding effects in ocular research.

This study examines bone structure asymmetry between dominant and nondominant forearms and evaluates the effects of mechanical loading on bone properties over 12 months.

This study investigates how furosemide induces distinct adaptive responses in proximal and distal nephron segments, revealing mechanisms of diuretic resistance and tubular remodeling.

This study shows that corticosterone can be externally deposited on mature feathers after implantation, challenging the assumption that feather corticosterone reflects only developmental levels.

This study shows that stress-reactivity in ageing zebrafish is inversely related to telomere length in heart tissue but not brain tissue.

This study investigates how TRPV4 ion channels in keratinocytes mediate UVB-induced inflammation by activating inflammasomes and MAPK signaling, leading to IL-1β secretion and pain.

This study shows that excessive erythroferrone production in mice leads to iron overload and developmental issues by suppressing hepcidin and disrupting BMP signaling.

This study identifies a CCL2-independent inflammatory network in nephronophthisis, revealing distinct immune cell infiltration and cytokine signatures compared to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

This study shows that replacing integrin α5 with a chimeric α5/α2 integrin reduces vascular remodeling and inflammation in mouse models.

This study shows that deleting PHD2 in adipocytes maintains BAT activity at thermoneutrality, increases energy expenditure, and identifies serum PHD2 as a biomarker for metabolic disease.

This study shows that sugar feeding enhances antiviral immunity in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, reducing arbovirus transmission potential.
