Effects of Cadence Control on Upper-Limb Kinematics and Muscle Activation During Manual Wheelchair Propulsion in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury

Life
Manual wheelchair propulsion is a frequent activity among people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and is linked to upper limb loading and shoulder pain. We compared propulsion strategies at cadences of 30 and 50 bpm. Kinematics and surface electromyography (

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

What and Who Are “Essential”? A Disability Justice Perspective on COVID-19 Measures and the Diverse Disability Communities in Ontario

Studies in Social Justice
Central to Ontario’s COVID-19 response was defining, supporting, and protecting essential services and, by extension, essential people – often through decision-making processes that were ad hoc and lacking in meaningful public engagement.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Using colocation to support human memory [PDF]

, 2007
The progress of health care in the western world has been marked by an increase in life expectancy. Advances in life expectancy have meant that more people are living with acute health problems, many of which are related to impairment of memory. This

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...
