Heat treatment combined with hybrid exercises retraining mitigates cellular markers of protein turnover after hindlimb suspension in male mice: A pilot study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent evidence suggests that heat treatment (HT) and resistance training can limit skeletal muscle mass loss during immobilization. However, the effects of repeated HT sessions combined with hybrid exercises (EX), which promote both endurance and resistance responses, on muscle protein turnover following hindlimb unloading (HU) remain ...

Alterations to longitudinal muscle morphology and mechanical function following immobilization and recovery in female ovariectomized and intact rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Serial sarcomere number (SSN) is reduced following immobilization of a muscle in a shortened position in male rodents thereby impairing muscle contractile function. However, in female rodents the effects of oestrogen on SSN and mechanical changes following immobilization and re‐ambulation are unknown.

Voluntary Active Euthanasia and the Doctrine of Double Effect: A View From Germany

, 2004
This paper discusses physician-assisted suicide (PAS) and voluntary active euthanasia (VAE), supplies a short history and argues in favour of permitting both once rigid criteria have been set and the cases retro-reviewed.

Mitochondrial capacities and quality control following short‐ and long‐term weight restoration after simulated anorexia nervosa

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by prolonged caloric restriction and skeletal muscle atrophy. Mitochondrial health is a key mediator of muscle function, yet the role of mitochondria during AN and following weight regain has not been investigated. The objective of this study was to evaluate mitochondrial capacities

Cardiovascular Exercise Drives Neuroprotection in a Mouse Model of Spinocerebellar Ataxia 1 Via Rescue of Aberrant Splicing

Annals of Neurology, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 850-866, October 2026.
Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1) is a fatal hereditary neurodegenerative disorder with no approved therapies, and gene‐targeting strategies have thus far failed in clinical trials. Exercise remains the only intervention shown to provide clinical benefit in patients with spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), yet the underlying mechanisms remain ...

Breast Cancer‐Derived AZU1 Educates Neutrophils to Promote Tumor Progression and Metastasis Through PAD4‐Dependent Extracellular Trap Formation

Molecular Carcinogenesis, Volume 65, Issue 10, Page 1281-1296, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play crucial roles in cancer progression, but their regulatory mechanisms in breast cancer remain poorly understood. We developed a NETs‐related prognostic risk model using TCGA breast cancer data and identified key biomarkers through bioinformatics analysis.
