The paper detects titanium nanoparticles in human, animal, and infant formula milk across different species, locations, and processing methods.

This study identifies the molecular mechanism behind the reduced solute permeability in Aqp10.2 by analyzing ancestral sequences, structural models, and site-directed mutagenesis.

This study shows that gestational chronic intermittent hypoxia increases maternal inflammation, alters EV characteristics, and disrupts placental stress responses in rats without affecting fetal growth.

This study identifies LINC00599 as a key regulator of pulmonary hypertension through m6A modification and liquid-liquid phase separation with G3BP1 and MYH9, promoting PASMC proliferation.

This study investigates the relationship between sleep and pregnancy in the viviparous cockroach Diploptera punctata, finding that sleep disruption during pregnancy affects embryo development and alters daily activity rhythms.

Correlation-based endocrine network analysis of MoTrPAC rat multi-tissue omics shows 8-week endurance training reshapes inter-organ secretory crosstalk, centering subcutaneous adipose, extracellular matrix factors, and Wnt regulators.

This study shows that knocking out Piezo1 and Piezo2 in chondrocytes protects against post-traumatic osteoarthritis structural damage and pain in mice.

This study identifies that immune aging impairs muscle regeneration by altering macrophage-derived antioxidant selenoprotein P expression and function in aged mice.

The paper identifies VMNCckbr neurons that regulate fasting blood glucose by enhancing adipose tissue lipolysis and substrate release via the sympathetic nervous system.

This study examines the effects of a gestational ketogenic diet on mouse offspring, finding reduced litter size, altered sex ratios, and sex-dependent impacts on lifespan and body mass.

This study shows mitochondrial-targeted plastoquinone SkQ1 reduces early muscle weakness in ovarian cancer mice by improving calcium handling and mitochondrial function, without preventing atrophy.

The paper investigates thermal tolerance and plasticity in invasive European green crabs, finding no significant link between supergene genotype and individual plasticity.

This study shows light-dark cycle-dependent rhythmic coordination between mitochondrial and chloroplast activity in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

This study shows that shivering increases with lower skin temperatures in cold-exposed individuals, while adipose tissue thermogenesis does not, and women exhibit stronger shivering responses.

This study shows NRBP1 and TSC22D proteins modulate WNK signaling in the kidney's distal convoluted tubule, affecting Na+ reabsorption through NCC phosphorylation.

This study shows Tcf7l2 maintains hepatic zonation and glutamine homeostasis, with loss of Tcf7l2 causing metabolic disruption and decreased glutamine levels.

This study examines the impact of liver anatomical abnormalities on orthotopic liver transplantation outcomes in rats, finding that such abnormalities significantly reduce transplant success.

This study validates the IP ratio as a non-invasive indicator of welfare in laying hens, showing it is influenced by housing systems but not light or age.

The paper identifies a hindbrain neuron cluster, Sup5Phox2b, essential for coordinating biting and chewing during feeding.

This study identifies the PPARD/PDK4/ANGPTL4 pathway as a mechanism by which obesity induces phenotypic switching of gastric smooth muscle cells, leading to dysmotility.
