Evolutionarily Conserved T-tubule-Mitochondria Contacts in Striated Muscle

This study identifies evolutionarily conserved T-tubule-Mitochondria contacts in skeletal and cardiac muscles using zebrafish and mice, revealing their role in muscle physiology and disease.

Antibiotics-induced alterations in gut microbiol composition leads to blood-brain barrier permeability increase in rhesus monkeys

This study shows that oral antibiotics alter gut microbiota in rhesus monkeys, increasing BBB permeability, particularly in the thalamus, potentially linking gut microbiota changes to neurological effects.
