Weighted cart pull: A novel outcome measure for sustained motor function in mice

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sarcopenia, the pathological age‐related decline in muscle mass and strength, compromises independence and quality of life in older adults. Currently, no effective treatments are available. To enhance translational research using aged mouse models, we developed and validated the weighted cart pull (WCP) as a novel assessment of sustained motor

Volitional exercise elicits physiological and molecular improvements in the severe D2.mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This study investigated the effects of volitional exercise on muscle health in the more severe D2.mdx model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We showed that 8–10 weeks of a relatively high volume of voluntary wheel running (VWR) in D2.mdx animals augmented select muscle mass and normalized ex vivo muscle force compared to ...

Obligatory and accessory respiratory muscle structure, function and control in early and advanced disease in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We examined obligatory (diaphragm, external intercostal and parasternal) and accessory (sternomastoid, cleidomastoid, scalene and trapezius) muscle form, function and control in early (4 months) and advanced (16 months) dystrophic disease. Peak inspiratory pressure is preserved in 4‐month‐old mdx mice but is decreased in 16‐month‐

The attitudes of individuals with or at risk of adult‐onset genetic conditions on reproductive genetic testing: A systematic review

open access: yesJournal of Genetic Counseling, Volume 34, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Individuals who carry a genetic variant for a genetic disease can access reproductive genetic testing in order to prevent the transmission of the gene variant to their children. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the findings from both qualitative and quantitative literature to understand these individuals' attitudes toward pre ...
