Interpretation of A Focus Shift From Sarcopenia to Muscle Health in the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2025 Consensus Update

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
The AWGS 2025 consensus shifts focus from diagnosing sarcopenia to promoting muscle health across the lifespan. It simplifies diagnosis to low muscle mass plus low strength, expands screening to middle‐aged adults, and integrates muscle health into the WHO ICOPE framework for early intervention and healthy aging.

Irbesartan Prevents Metabolic Syndrome in Rats via Activation of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: Irbesartan, an angiotensin-receptor blocker, is a known agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ. In this study, thirteen-week-old spontaneously hypertensive (SHR)/NDmcr-cp rats, representing a genetic model of metabolic syndrome,

Micro-RNAs of the miR-15 family modulate cardiomyocyte survival and cardiac repair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A family of microRNAs, called the miR-15 family, which includes miR-195, are shown to be up-regulated during pathological cardiac remodeling and repress the expression of mRNAs required for cell proliferation and survival, with consequent loss of ...

Sex as a biological variable in nonclinical studies: Bridging scientific rigor, animal welfare, and regulatory expectations

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Sex as a biological variable (SABV) is a critical determinant of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and toxicity in nonclinical studies. This review highlights how inappropriate neglect of sex differences compromises animal welfare, scientific reproducibility, and regulatory compliance.

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Small vesicles, big potential: A review of innovative exosome delivery and molecular mechanisms in preclinical myocardial infarction models

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This narrative review discusses animal models of exosome‐based myocardial infarction treatments. Emerging techniques aim to improve exosome stability, targeting, and bioavailability for MI treatment as drug delivery vehicles and regenerative mediators that promote myocardial regeneration. Abstract Exosomes have emerged as promising therapeutic carriers,
