Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Mutations in the desmin gene cause skeletal myopathies and cardiomyopathies. The objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular pathology induced by the expression of R405W mutant desmin in murine skeletal muscle. Methods A comprehensive characterization of the skeletal muscle pathology in hetero‐ and homozygous R405W desmin

Cooling and Exhumation History of the Paris Basin Southeastern Margin Revealed by Δ47 /U–Pb Carbonate Thermochronology

Terra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 421-430, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study applies Δ₄₇/U–Pb thermochronology to the Middle Jurassic carbonates exposed in the southeastern margin of the Paris Basin. By integrating clumped isotope analyses and U–Pb dating of diagenetic carbonates, we reconstruct the thermal and exhumation history of the sedimentary succession.
