This study finds that serum C-terminal agrin fragment (CAF) increases with age and is linked to neuromuscular decline and reduced physical function, with physical activity mitigating these effects in older men.

This study identifies two distinct astrocyte subtypes in the hippocampus that selectively regulate inhibitory synapses in specific domains through functional and transcriptional differences.

This study investigates altered myosin super-relaxation and energy metabolism in type II diabetes using muscle biopsies and proteomic analyses, finding increased super-relaxation and reduced ATP demand.

The paper examines how physical activity affects mitochondrial function, ROS production, and calcium handling in skeletal muscle across the human lifespan, finding that aging does not reduce mitochondrial respiration but decreases calcium retention capacity.

This study chemically induces senescence in human microglia-like cells and shows they adopt a pro-inflammatory phenotype with reduced phagocytic and calcium activity.

This study examines the effects of HDAC inhibitors and arimoclomol on HSP expression and disease biomarkers in ALS models, finding variable responses across different ALS variants and biomarkers.

This study investigates the role of CB1 receptors in glial cells during neuromuscular junction repair after nerve injury, finding that their blockade accelerates denervation and delays reinnervation.

The paper shows that mTORC1 in hippocampal somatostatin interneurons is essential for learning reward-related spatial representations during a virtual reality task.

The paper shows that glial cells at disease-vulnerable NMJs in SOD1G37R mice fail to support repair mechanisms, leading to impaired compensatory reinnervation.

The paper withdraws its manuscript due to issues with data, interpretations, and conclusions.
