Muscle Contraction is Essential for Tendon Healing and Muscle Function Recovery after Achilles Tendon Rupture and Surgical Repair

This study shows that electrical muscle stimulation improves tendon healing and muscle recovery after Achilles tendon rupture, while static stretching has no additional benefit.

Targeting Vitamin-D receptor (VDR) by a small molecule antagonist MeTC7 inhibits PD-L1 but controls THMYCN neuroblastoma growth PD-L1 independently

This study shows that MeTC7, a VDR antagonist, reduces PD-L1 expression in cancer cells and inhibits neuroblastoma growth independently of PD-L1.

Detection of Viral RNA Fragments in Human iPSC-Cardiomyocytes following Treatment with Extracellular Vesicles from SARS-CoV-2 Coding-Sequence-Overexpressing Lung Epithelial Cells

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can enter cardiomyocytes via extracellular vesicles from infected lung cells, leading to inflammation-related gene upregulation.
