The paper develops a zebrafish model of accelerated muscle atrophy by inducing Atrogin-1 expression, showing muscle degeneration, locomotion dysfunction, and neurodegenerative effects.

This paper shows that SGLT2 inhibition reduces age-related vascular rarefaction and preserves renal function in African turquoise killifish.

This study shows that glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors promote vascular development in kidney organoids through endothelial cell differentiation and vessel formation.

The paper shows that modified tau in C. elegans causes neuronal and global ribosome dysfunction, reducing translation and lifespan, without direct ribosome association.

This study shows connective-tissue cells are essential for axolotl limb regeneration, making up 75% of blastema cells and requiring specific signaling for regeneration.

The paper investigates the role of GLH-1/Vasa helicase domains in C. elegans germ granules, showing their necessity for granule association and their interaction with Argonaute proteins and PCI scaffolding complexes.
