Plasma metabolite responses to an oral protein tolerance test differ between young and sarcopenic participants and suggest altered anabolic sensitivity

This study uses an oral protein tolerance test combined with metabolomics to show that sarcopenic older adults have slower postprandial decline in essential amino acids compared to young controls, suggesting altered anabolic sensitivity.

Multi-platform plasma proteomics reveals orthogonal metabolic signatures distinguishing elite athletic phenotypes

This study uses multi-platform plasma proteomics to identify metabolic signatures distinguishing elite athletes' acute and chronic exercise adaptations.

Sample-multiplexed FACS-preprocessing of PBMCs enables scalable scRNA-seq without compromising transcriptomic or cellular integrity

This paper introduces a FACS-based preprocessing workflow for PBMCs that improves scRNA-seq throughput and preserves biological integrity while enabling rare cell enrichment and cross-donor multiplexing.

miR-196a-5p and miR-342-3p mediate skeletal muscle and thermogenic adipose tissue crosstalk through extracellular vesicles

This study identifies miR-196a-5p and miR-342-3p as exomiRs released during exercise that mediate crosstalk between skeletal muscle and thermogenic adipose tissue.

Investigating Cell Viability under Shear Stress in Complex Microstreaming Flows Generated by Ultrasound-Driven Actuated Microbubbles

This paper introduces a method using ultrasound-driven microbubbles to manipulate and sort human cells in microfluidic channels while maintaining cell viability.

Skeletal muscle hypertrophy rewires glucose metabolism: an experimental investigation and systematic review

This study investigates metabolic changes during skeletal muscle hypertrophy using metabolomics and finds rewiring of glycolytic intermediates into anabolic pathways, particularly the serine synthesis pathway.
