TSHR‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Aptamer Treats Graves' Ophthalmopathy via Novel Allosteric Inhibition
This study presents YC3, a novel inhibitory TSHR‐targeting aptamer, as a promising therapeutic for Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). YC3 suppresses pathological phenotypes in human orbital fibroblasts and improves outcomes in GO mice by binding to a previously unidentified allosteric site on TSHR, demonstrating the potential of aptamers in advancing ...

Novel individualized power training protocol preserves physical function in adult and older mice [PDF]
Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, contributes to frailty, functional decline, and reduced quality of life in older adults. Exercise is a recognized therapy for sarcopenia and muscle dysfunction, though not a cure. Muscle power

In contrast to the adult mammalian heart, which lacks regenerative capacity, the neonatal heart retains a transient regenerative capacity. In this study, high mobility group box 2 (HMGB2) is identified as a crucial protein driving heart regeneration based on comprehensive analyses using quantitative proteomics with tandem mass tag (TMT) labelling, RNA ...

Gender differences in cardiac left ventricular mass and function: clinical and experimental observations [PDF]
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate gender-associated impact on left ventricular mass (LVM) and on left ventricular function (LVF) in humans and rats with aging. Methods: Myocyte area and collagen volume fraction (CVF) were studied in rats.

This study develops a novel 3D human skeletal muscle organoid platform to study the immediate molecular effects of exercise‐like contractions. The model uncovers rapid proteomic and transcriptomic responses, resolving a fundamental paradox by demonstrating how exercise‐induced Lamtor1 coordinately activates both AMPK and mTORC1. Lamtor1 is a compelling

Among the Italian autochthonous beef cattle breeds, Marchigiana is particularly important in terms of census and production. In this breed, a SNP inactivating the myostatin gene leads to muscular hypertrophy in the individuals homozygous for the mutated ...

Targeting Adipose Tissue Function Protects Against Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
This study explores the role adipose tissue (AT) phenotypes have in determining cardiovascular outcomes in an obesity‐related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) model. Pharmacological induction of thermogenesis promoted resilience to HFpEF‐induced remodeling of AT and conferred cardioprotection. Surgical and genetic models confirmed

mTOR-mediated podocyte hypertrophy regulates glomerular integrity in mice and humans.
The cellular origins of glomerulosclerosis involve activation of parietal epithelial cells (PECs) and progressive podocyte depletion. While mammalian target of rapamycin-mediated (mTOR-mediated) podocyte hypertrophy is recognized as an important ...

The effect of complex training on horizontal power production in rugby union players : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at Massey University [PDF]
The use of strength and power training regimes is common place among elite and recreational athletes. However, the application of such methods as direct determinants of improvement in sporting performance is a controversial and much debated topic because
