This study identifies rate-limiting enzymes in the butyrate production pathway of probiotic MIYAIRI588 using genome and proteome analysis.

This study compares force fluctuations in the Achilles tendon during two rehabilitation exercises, finding that eccentric heel drops produce significantly greater force variation than a walking drill.

This study investigates how increased tendon compliance affects muscle spindle firing during different stretch types and finds that firing rates are generally reduced but not fully explained by fascicle length and velocity.

This study identifies a mechanotransductive feedback loop involving YAP and TAZ that regulates endothelial cell motility and vascular morphogenesis in vitro and in vivo.

This study shows vertical sleeve gastrectomy increases enteroendocrine cells via FXR activation in intestinal stem cells, using RNAseq and organoid experiments.

This study shows KIF18A is essential for proliferation of chromosomally unstable tumor cells but not near-diploid cells, with effects linked to centrosome fragmentation and mitotic defects.

The paper identifies novel host-pathogen interactions between Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite proteins and human hepatocyte surface receptors using a high-throughput screening assay.

This study identifies genetic features of recurrent pancreatic cancer through sequencing and finds that treatment-induced genetic changes and potential second primary tumors influence recurrence.
