Cellular mechanotransduction of human osteoblasts in microgravity

This study investigates how microgravity affects human fetal osteoblasts by measuring cell mechanics and signaling changes in space compared to ground controls.

Quantification of local matrix deposition during muscle stem cell activation using engineered hydrogels

This study quantifies matrix deposition by muscle stem cells during activation using engineered hydrogels and shows it is critical for maintaining stem cell function.

Repeated birth injuries lead to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and impairment in regeneration

This study shows that repeated birth injuries in rats lead to long-term pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and impaired regeneration.

The role of muscle stem cells and fibro-adipogenic progenitors in female pelvic floor muscle regeneration following birth injury

This study shows that muscle stem cells and fibro-adipogenic progenitors are essential for pelvic floor muscle recovery after birth injury, as their loss impairs regeneration in a rat model.

Pro-regenerative Extracellular Matrix Hydrogel Prevents and Mitigates Pathological Alterations of Pelvic Muscles Following Birth Injury

This study shows that an extracellular matrix hydrogel prevents and reduces muscle atrophy and fibrosis in pelvic floor muscles after birth injury in rats.

Characterization of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii phycosphere reveals conserved features of the plant microbiota

The paper characterizes the microbiota of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii's phycosphere and finds it shares taxonomic and functional features with plant root microbiota.

A fungal powdery mildew pathogen induces extensive local and marginal systemic changes in the Arabidopsis thaliana microbiota

This study investigates how powdery mildew infection affects microbial communities in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing local and marginal systemic changes in foliar but not root-associated bacteria.

Root microbiota assembly and adaptive differentiation among European Arabidopsis populations

The paper examines root microbiota variation in Arabidopsis thaliana across Europe, finding that climate drives adaptation more than soil conditions or microbial composition.

Microbial interkingdom interactions in roots promote Arabidopsis survival

The paper investigates microbial interactions in Arabidopsis roots, showing bacterial microbiota protect plants from filamentous eukaryotes and maintain microbial balance.
