This study examines the structural and mechanical properties of the middle cerebral artery in Dusp5 KO rats, finding limited structural changes but enhanced myogenic tone, suggesting Dusp5's role in hemodynamics and cognition is enzyme-driven.

This study shows 17α-estradiol improves metabolic and inflammatory outcomes in skeletal muscle of male mice but not females on a high-fat diet.

The paper examines how duckweed ecotypes and species adapt to high light conditions, finding species-specific physiological responses and ecotype-specific acclimation abilities.

This paper identifies TRPV4-expressing cell types in the colon and shows limited involvement of TRPV4 in colonic motility.

This study characterizes the inner ear epithelial cell types and protein expression in splitnose rockfish to understand otolith biomineralization and its sensitivity to environmental factors.

This study shows MFGE8 inhibits insulin signaling by promoting PTP1B binding to and dephosphorylation of IR{beta}, reducing glucose uptake, and identifies a correlation between serum MFGE8 levels and insulin resistance in humans.

This paper identifies 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid (6-HHA), a medium chain fatty acid from Streptococcus gordonii, as a compound that reduces obesity and insulin resistance in mice fed a high-fat diet.

This study assesses the inter-session reliability of quadriceps neuromuscular function measures in healthy females across age, showing excellent reliability and minimal systematic bias.

This study shows that deleting Vhl in Dmp1-expressing cells increases stress erythropoiesis by altering MEP metabolism and inducing hypoxia-like responses.

This study investigates gastrointestinal hydrodynamics in Labradors, examines intestinal fluid attributes, and assesses felodipine absorption influenced by hydrodynamics.

This study combines multimodal monitoring with dynamic systems modeling to investigate how hypercapnia affects cerebral metabolism and oxygen consumption in humans.

This study investigates how thyroid hormone levels affect liver circadian transcriptome rhythms in mice, identifying 516 genes as molecular markers of liver TH state.

This study shows TRPV4 is involved in temperature-dependent perspiration in mice through interactions with ANO1, and its expression is higher in normohidrotic AIGA patients.

This study shows that dietary methionine/choline deficiency disrupts circadian rhythms and gene expression in mice, with effects dependent on circadian time.

This study shows that astrocytes in the preBotzinger complex regulate breathing and arousal in rats, with inhibited signaling linked to calmness and enhanced signaling linked to arousal.

This study examines how coral surface geometry affects light exposure, photoacclimation, and photosynthetic energy acquisition in zooxanthellate corals.

The paper shows that viral channelrhodopsins (VCR1s) induce intracellular calcium release upon illumination, enabling light-controlled muscle contraction in tadpoles, suggesting a new optogenetic tool.

The paper evaluates EEG and HRV metrics from portable devices to identify correlates of well-being in real-world settings, finding associations between eudaimonic well-being and HRV metrics, and physical well-being and EEG asymmetry.

This study shows that intrinsic skeletal muscle function and contraction-stimulated glucose uptake in mice do not vary across the 24-hour circadian cycle.
