Body Composition and Muscle Function in Bronchiectasis: A Comparative Longitudinal Study
We compared body composition and muscle function in adults with bronchiectasis versus controls and assessed if leg strength estimates 1‐year outcomes. Patients with bronchiectasis had lower muscle mass, bone density, and leg strength. Reduced leg strength is associated with worse dyspnoea, quality of life, and functional capacity, highlighting the need

UNC45B Reduction With Aging: A Myofiber‐Intrinsic Promoting Factor for Sarcopenia
Aging reduces Unc45b expression in fast‐twitch muscle, concomitant with reduction in muscle contractile capacity and muscle mass in mice. Unc45b deficiency initially reduces depolarization‐induced force, followed by a decline in fast‐twitch muscle mass in adult mice.

Maternal SD during pregnancy enhances the development of diet‐induced NASH in adult offspring of both sexes through an NR4A3‐dependent mechanism, characterised by heightened inflammation and increased apoptosis. Maternal melatonin supplementation effectively alleviates this increased susceptibility to NASH in offspring.

Serum levels of CTRP3 and CysC in elderly patients with T2DM and OP are closely associated with glucose‐lipid metabolism, bone mineral density, and bone metabolism markers. Combined detection of these two markers can assist in distinguishing OP in elderly patients with T2DM.
