This study shows that Cathepsin D modulates prolactin's effects on renal ischemia reperfusion injury, with sex-dependent outcomes.

This study shows that cholesterol depletion with cyclodextrins improves lymphatic vessel contractility in mice, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for lymphedema.

This study examines how individuals' self-perceived balance ability aligns with actual performance on a balance beam task, finding that task-specific practice improves self-estimation accuracy.

The paper shows that live Lactococcus lactis extends C. elegans lifespan by metabolically exploiting the bacterial arginine deiminase pathway to support collagen maintenance.

This study compares five anesthetic regimens in rats, finding differences in cardiovascular effects, ventilation, and biomarker responses, with varying recovery of autonomic variability.

This study shows aging reduces proteome plasticity and hypertrophic responses to resistance training in skeletal muscle, but RT partially reverses some aging-related changes.

This paper uses reinforcement learning to discover new mechanisms of reentry in excitable media, including subthreshold stimulation strategies that induce unidirectional propagation and reentry.

This study compares digestive and absorptive capacities in three fish species under different diets, finding species-specific adaptations to carbohydrate and protein intake.

This study shows that active bed temperature regulation affects sleep depth, autonomic activity, and EEG patterns, with varying effects depending on cooling or heating settings.

This study shows that adding 850nm near-infrared light to LED lighting reduces blood glucose levels in humans, suggesting light's role in regulating metabolism.

The paper identifies the basolateral localization of Kcnj15 in gill ionocytes of the seawater pufferfish and shows its expression stability under hypoosmotic conditions.

The paper investigates how neural drive to the tibialis anterior changes after stretch or shortening contractions, finding differences in EMG amplitude and discharge rates at different contraction intensities.

This study shows that modulating ATP-binding cassette transporters in sugarcane aphids changes their feeding phases on sorghum, potentially reducing crop damage and virus transmission.

This study investigates how maternal hypertension and cardiovascular medications affect placental arterial tone, finding that certain drugs alter vascular reactivity and may impact placental perfusion.

The paper defines new length and time constants for action potential propagation and shows their relationship to propagation velocity.

This study identifies VEGFA-producing macrophages around Schlemm's canal as a compensatory mechanism maintaining aqueous humor outflow during aging and vascular stress, suggesting TIE2 activation as a therapeutic target.

This study shows that high intensity interval training (HIIT) preserves physical, cognitive, and cardiovascular function in older female mice and reduces frailty.

This study uses a mathematical model to show that improved glycemic control in T2D patients on semaglutide reduces weight loss by increasing energy expenditure and urinary glucose excretion.

This study identifies urinary proteomic signatures associated with subclinical AKD following nephrotoxic or ischemic injury in rats, revealing persistent structural damage despite functional recovery.

This paper identifies an intracellular mechanosensory complex in intestinal smooth muscle that amplifies signaling from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, independent of extracellular calcium, to regulate contractility.
