The paper develops sex-specific computational models of renal transport in rat and mouse kidneys to analyze sex and species differences in Na+ reabsorption and urine excretion.

This study shows that HIF-1α and HIF-2α antagonism in the carotid body and adrenal medulla regulates redox balance and hypoxia responses, maintaining blood pressure and respiration.

This study compares maximal evocable torque from conventional and wide-pulse NMES protocols, finding wide-pulse protocols produce greater torque with lower current intensity.

This paper introduces a novel flexible adhesive electrode array for non-invasive cervical nerve activity monitoring and demonstrates its use in detecting stress-induced neuronal changes.

This study assesses the reliability of outcome measures in single and double leg drop jump tests for collegiate athletes, finding high reliability for key metrics in both tests.

This study examines changes in dominant frequency and structural organization in persistent atrial fibrillation using a porcine model and high-resolution mapping.

This study uses X-ray diffraction to compare thick filament activation dynamics in fast and slow-twitch rat muscles, finding distinct structural transitions that may explain their differing contraction properties.

This study investigates the effect of BAPN on collagen cross-linking and passive stiffness in dystrophic mdx mice, finding no reduction in cross-linking but a positive correlation between cross-linking and stiffness.

This study shows that endothelial PHD2 deficiency leads to nitrative stress via suppression of Caveolin-1, contributing to pulmonary arterial hypertension and vascular remodeling.

This study shows that influenza virus inhibits alveolar wall liquid secretion, promoting fatal lung injury from staphylococcal infection, and that restoring this secretion protects against lung damage.

This study shows obesity disrupts pituitary UPR, leading to NAFLD, and demonstrates that restoring pituitary UPR can ameliorate metabolic defects.

This study investigates whether bacterial abundance and diversity increase in human placenta with gestational age and if there is an associated shift in decidual immune cell phenotype.

This paper describes a protocol for preparing large biological samples for high-resolution X-ray microtomography, improving contrast and reducing motion and bubble formation.

This study shows that daily running in mice changes their muscle circadian rhythms and improves exercise performance depending on the time of day.

The study shows that the central clock, via Syt10-expressing neurons, drives most circulatory metabolic rhythms and rescues glucose intolerance, highlighting its role in circadian communication.

The paper examines oxidative stress integration in dominant and subordinate male cichlids, finding greater functional integration in dominant males.

This study examines how severe hypoxia affects visual and auditory responses in a reduced turtle brain preparation, finding visual responses are reduced while auditory responses remain intact.

This study shows that endothelial NCK2 promotes atherosclerosis in male but not female Nck1-null atheroprone mice, with effects dependent on disease stage and sex.

This study shows that exercise reduces sclerostin in white adipose tissue, affecting body composition and metabolism in male mice.

The paper establishes a reconstituted DICR platform in HEK293 cells to validate skeletal muscle disease mutations and test drug candidates.
