Small muscle mass aerobic exercise in health and disease: Unique insights into muscle vascular and metabolic control and performance

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of small muscle mass exercise (SMME) have revealed that the peripheral O2 transport–utilization cascade is a dynamically regulated system in which perfusive and diffusive components can be selectively amplified, redistributed and mechanically limited depending on contraction pattern, recruitment strategy and intramuscular pressure ...

A comparison of the neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary and muscle oxygenation responses to single‐ and double‐leg cycling in older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous work in younger adults has shown that during small muscle mass exercise, the tolerable degree of neuromuscular impairment at task failure is greater than during large muscle mass exercise. However, no study has compared the neuromuscular responses to small and large muscle mass exercise whilst matching exercise modality in older ...

Electrodiffusion in cardiac intercalated disc nanostructures alters cell–cell action potential transmission via ephaptic coupling: A model study

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Ephaptic phenomena in a high‐resolution model of the cardiac intercalated disc. Meshed representation of a tortuous intercalated disc that was generated based on electron and super‐resolution microscopy data. Na+ channels (red) and gap junctions (green) are heterogeneously distributed, with additional regions of reduced ion ...

Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...

Simulating Agroecology Policy Options for the Resilience of Smallholder Food Security to Climate Shocks

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Climate shocks and the agroecology–resilience nexus of smallholders. Summary of key findings: Agroecology increases smallholder resilience capacity by 8.7% in the short term under a decreased rainfall scenario, a projected 11% decline in precipitation reduces resilience by 5.6% and 14.2% in the short and long terms, respectively, and a policy‐induced ...
