This study shows that carnitine deficiency in mice reduces long-chain fatty acid oxidation and voluntary exercise, while maintaining mitochondrial respiratory capacity.

This study shows that early life exercise increases energy expenditure and BAT thermogenic capacity regardless of inborn fitness, while inborn fitness affects BAT proteome composition.

This study shows early-life exercise training can mitigate low inborn cardiorespiratory fitness effects, but molecular adaptations vary based on innate fitness.

This study shows that injury in the acoel Convolutriloba longifissura triggers coordinated responses between the host and its symbiotic algae, mediated by the runt transcription factor.

This study identifies PCP pathway components, pk-1 and dgo-1, as essential for anterior and posterior regeneration in Hofstenia miamia, with pk-1 affecting muscle organization and gene expression in tail fragments.
