Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Knee Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective To examine whether concentrations of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS relate to incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and knee pain progression. Methods Among a case‐cohort sample from the OA Initiative (n = 1,878), we examined associations of serum concentrations of eight PFAS with odds of developing ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.Endogenous GLP‐1 and exogenous GLP‐1 RAs activate GLP‐1R‐expressing vagal afferents in the portal vein, projecting to the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). This input engages brainstem–hypothalamic circuits that regulate metabolic homeostasis. Hypothalamic efferent vagal output to the liver suppresses lipogenesis, enhances triglyceride export, and ...

The dorsal aortic compartment is a developmental source of brown adipose tissue in mice
Nature CommunicationsWhite adipose tissue primarily stores energy while brown adipose tissue dissipates energy as heat, holding promise for therapeutic use. Brown adipose tissue in the anterior trunk is believed to derive from the somitic mesoderm, although some depots are ...

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Schwann cells provide peripheral nerve trophic support, myelinate axons, and assist in repair. However, Schwann cell repair capacity is limited by chronic injury, disease, and aging. Schwann cell reprogramming is a cellular conversion strategy that could provide a renewable cell supply to repair injured nerves.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Characterization of Cre recombinase activity for in vivo targeting of adipocyte precursor cells. [PDF]
, 2014 The increased incidence of obesity and metabolic disease underscores the importance of elucidating the biology of adipose tissue development. The recent discovery of cell surface markers for prospective identification of adipose precursor cells (APCs) in

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...
