This study shows that intestinal microbiota enhances the anti-tumor effect of oncolytic virus vaccine in advanced colorectal cancer by modulating T-cell activity.

This study investigates how short periods of decreased water flow affect coral physiology under ocean acidification, finding species-specific responses and potential mitigation of OA effects.

This review summarizes human, murine, and canine DCT cell models, their culture conditions, and gene expression, highlighting methodological inconsistencies and gaps in reporting.

The study compares heart rate variability (HRV) under different running conditions with similar heart rates, finding that one estimator depends on exercise intensity while another is sensitive to running conditions.

This study shows that retinal bipolar cells use extracellular lactate as an alternative energy source via MCT2 transporters, maintaining ion and electrical homeostasis.

This study examines the effects of an 80-second breathing exercise with prolonged inspiratory period on sympathetic activity and neural activity, finding increased beta wave power, heart rate, and heart rate variability.

This study examines changes in skeletal muscle myosin metabolic states during hibernation in different mammals, finding reduced ATP consumption and potential mechanisms for energy conservation.

This study evaluates large-scale electrodermal sensing using Fitbit Sense 2 devices to analyze physiological responses to stressors and circadian rhythms across 16,000 individuals.

This study investigates sex differences in opioid-induced dysphagia and respiratory depression using a rat electromyography model, finding that buprenorphine more severely affects females and that 5-HT1A agonists can mitigate these effects.

This study examines how childhood mild-to-moderate hearing loss affects subcortical and cortical speech processing and evaluates the benefit of amplification.

This study investigates factors affecting recovery from anhydrobiosis in tardigrades, finding age and episode duration significantly impact recovery success.

This study investigates the relationship between residual force depression and muscle work during voluntary dorsiflexion contractions, finding that rFD is linearly related to MTU work but not fascicle work.

This study shows that thyroid hormone levels do not significantly affect cardiac recovery in old mice with preexisting pressure-induced cardiac damage.

This study shows that TRPA1 activation and disrupted repolarisation-relaxation coupling during systole contribute to mechano-arrhythmogenesis in ischaemic conditions.

This study shows that Ixodes scapularis ticks detect CO2 without using the Haller's organ, indicating alternative CO2-sensitive structures are involved in host-seeking behavior.

This study shows that L-type calcium channels, not just T-type, are essential for maintaining calcium oscillations and aldosterone production in murine zona glomerulosa cells.

The paper develops a method to target cardiac scars using genetically modified myofibroblasts guided by magnetic steering, showing improved engraftment and reduced ventricular tachycardia.
