This study uses Drosophila models to investigate the role of genes from a GWAS locus in linking cardiovascular disease and insomnia, finding tissue-specific and cross-tissue effects on sleep and cardiac function.

This study compares the effects of high-fat diet and glucocorticoid-induced obesity on metabolic outcomes, finding that the latter prevents fatty liver despite similar adiposity.

This study examines how low-intensity neuromuscular electrical stimulation affects gene expression and muscle phenotype during one week of disuse, showing mixed benefits depending on muscle type.

This study shows that microbiome-derived queuosine (Q) affects tyrosine metabolism and predator avoidance in mosquito larvae, leading to impaired behavior and survival.

This study identifies DILP8 as a sensor for mature follicle accumulation in Drosophila ovaries, preventing excessive follicles and maintaining oocyte quality through the Lgr3 receptor.

This paper introduces a non-invasive method to detect hyperglycemia in mice using the Urination Index, correlating bedding moisture with blood glucose levels to monitor diabetes progression continuously.

This study examines the role of both parasympathetic and sympathetic arousal in threat conditioning, showing that parasympathetic responses are linked to anxiety resilience and that ignoring them can misclassify individuals as non-learners.

This study investigates the role of the SLO2.1/NALCN complex in regulating mouse myometrial smooth muscle cell membrane potential across pregnancy, finding its activity decreases as pregnancy progresses.

The paper compares the olfactory performance of pectinate and filiform antennae in Lepidoptera, finding that pectinate antennae are more efficient at capturing odor at most speeds, while filiform are more energy-efficient at low speeds.

This study shows that liver-derived Yap1 activation during organ repair induces systemic catabolism and muscle loss, similar to cancer cachexia.

This study shows that intestinal fructose metabolism increases GLP-1 secretion, which enhances insulin release and prevents hyperglycaemia, with this effect being impaired in obese diabetic mice.

This study measures hemoglobin fractional synthetic rate in trained and untrained humans using 2H2O and finds no difference between trained and untrained individuals or between males and females.

This study examines how emojis affect autonomic responses, finding increased sympathetic activity and decreased parasympathetic activity in both males and females during an emotional task.

This study develops a PET-based method to track nitrogen gas movement in vivo and ex vivo using 13N2, showing its distribution in organs after inhalation.

This study investigates how CIDEB loss-of-function mutations protect against fatty liver disease by enhancing β-oxidation through ATGL and PPARα activation.

This study shows that peripheral opioid receptor antagonism can reverse fentanyl-induced respiratory depression without causing aversive behaviors.

This study examines the effect of exercise frequency on aortic calcification in hyperlipidemic mice, finding that 5 days/week low-speed treadmill exercise reduces 18F-NaF uptake and cardiac remodeling.

This study shows that housing temperature affects molecular and systemic responses to cancer in mice, influencing metabolic adaptations and cytokine levels.
