New function of the myostatin/activin type I receptor (ALK4) as a mediator of muscle atrophy and muscle regeneration

The FASEB Journal, 2016
Skeletal muscle fibrosis and impaired muscle regeneration are major contributors to muscle wasting in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Muscle growth is negatively regulated by myostatin (MSTN) and activins. Blockage of these pathways may improve muscle quality and function in DMD.

AOSNP‐ADAPTR resource level‐based recommendations on practical diagnostic strategies for ependymomas

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Adapting Diagnostic Approaches for Practical Taxonomy in Resource‐Restrained Regions (ADAPTR) recommendations for ependymomas in resource‐restrained settings (RL = resource level; created in BioRender). Abstract Ependymomas are uncommon primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) that affect both children and adults.

A comprehensive review of cancer‐induced cardiac wasting

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer is frequently accompanied by cachexia, a systemic syndrome characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, with or without loss of fat mass. Increasing evidence indicates that cancer can also induce cardiac muscle wasting, which is associated with structural cardiac remodelling, impaired contractile function and the development of ...

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

Impact of Hemoglobin Improvement on Survival in Patients With Myelofibrosis and Anemia Treated With Momelotinib in the SIMPLIFY‐1 and MOMENTUM Trials

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
In this post hoc analysis of the phase 3 SIMPLIFY‐1 and MOMENTUM trials, the number of patients with baseline hemoglobin < 10 g/dL who achieved hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL by week 24 with momelotinib, as well as the time to achievement, were evaluated. Patients who were JAK inhibitor naive and/or had moderate anemia were more likely and faster to achieve this

Multiple isoforms of the Activin-like receptor baboon differentially regulate proliferation and conversion behaviors of neuroblasts and neuroepithelial cells in the Drosophila larval brain.

PLoS ONE
In Drosophila coordinated proliferation of two neural stem cells, neuroblasts (NB) and neuroepithelial (NE) cells, is pivotal for proper larval brain growth that ultimately determines the final size and performance of an adult brain.

Chronic thermal stress affects growth, liver morphology and molecular responses but allows recovery at optimal temperature in juvenile zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate‐driven aquatic heatwaves pose an increasing threat to fish populations by inducing prolonged thermal stress. However, the resilience of teleosts to chronic heat exposure and their capacity for recovery remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of chronic high‐temperature exposure on juvenile zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Beyond Deterministic Fetal Programming: Intrauterine Exposures and the Multifactorial Origins of Adiposity

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

Associations Between Weight Loss Prior to Knee and Hip Arthroplasty and Peri‐ and Post‐Operative Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In some of the existing literature, obesity is associated with increased complications in those who undergo lower limb arthroplasty. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis to assess if pre‐arthroplasty weight loss mitigates increased post‐operative risks. Methods This systematic review and meta‐analysis was registered on

Breaking the Debilitating Cycle: Pathophysiology, Assessment, and Multimodal Intervention of Secondary Debilitation After Hip Fracture in Older Adults—A Narrative Review

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying “secondary debilitation after hip fracture,” discusses the clinical application of risk assessment tools, and presents a phased, stepwise intervention strategy aimed at interrupting the “vicious cycle.” ABSTRACT Hip fractures pose a serious threat to the ...
