Muscle-restricted Nox4 knockout partially corrects muscle contractility following spinal cord injury in mice

C. A. Toro, R. De Gasperi, A. Aslan, N. Johnson, M. M. Siddiq, C. Chow, W. Zhao, L. Harlow, Z. A. Graham, X.-H. Liu, J. Sadoshima, R. Iyengar, C. P. Cardozo

This study shows that muscle-specific Nox4 knockout in mice improves muscle contractility after spinal cord injury, though force remains lower than in uninjured controls.

Correlated evolution of conspicuous coloration and burrowing in crayfish

Z. A. Graham, D. J. Padilla Perez

This study investigates the evolution of conspicuous coloration in crayfish and finds it is correlated with a semi-terrestrial burrowing lifestyle, challenging the assumption that such colors are adaptive.

Boldine alters serum lipidomic signatures after acute spinal cord transection in male mice

Z. A. Graham, J. A. Siedlik, C. A. Toro, L. Harlow, C. P. Cardozo

This study examines lipidomic and metabolomic changes after spinal cord injury in mice and shows boldine can reverse some lipid alterations.

Assessing the impact of boldine on the gastrocnemius using multiomic profiling at 7 and 28 days post-complete spinal cord injury in young male mice

L. Potter, C. A. Toro, L. Harlow, K. Lavin, C. P. Cardozo, A. Wende, Z. A. Graham

This study evaluates boldine's effect on muscle atrophy in SCI mice, finding it does not prevent mass loss but modulates metabolome, transcriptome, and methylome changes.

Numb is required for optimal contraction of skeletal muscle

R. De Gasperi, C. Mo, D. Azulai, Z. Wang, L. M. Harlow, Y. Du, Z. A. Graham, X.-h. Liu, L. Guo, B. Zhang, F. Ko, A. M. Raczkowski, W. A. Bauman, W. Zhao, M. Brotto, C. P. Cardozo

This study shows that Numb is essential for skeletal muscle function, as its knockout reduces force, alters mitochondrial structure, and affects calcium dynamics in mice.

Spinal Cord Injury Reduces Serum Levels of Fibroblast Growth Factor-21 and Impairs its Signaling Pathways in Liver and Adipose Tissue in Mice

X.-h. Liu, Z. A. Graham, L. Harlow, J. Pan, D. Azulai, W. A. Bauman, J. Yarrow, C. P. Cardozo

This study shows spinal cord injury reduces FGF21 and adiponectin levels and impairs their signaling pathways in mice, contributing to metabolic dysfunction.

Separating noise and function in systems of animal communication: a comparative study of aggressive signaling in crayfish

Z. A. Graham, M. A. Angilletta

The paper investigates dishonest signaling in crayfish by comparing claw variability between burrowing and non-burrowing species, finding inherent noise rather than dishonesty in claw-based aggression signals.

Performance, but not size, of hindleg weaponry is sexually dimorphic in the giant mesquite bug (Thasus neocalifornicus)

Z. A. Graham, A. V. Palaoro

The study examines hindleg weaponry in giant mesquite bugs, finding that female hindleg length exceeds male length, but male hindlegs have greater squeezing performance.
