Myths and methodologies: Optimising experimental rigour in heat adaptation research: Menstrual status classification and scheduling approaches

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Women remain underrepresented in thermal physiology research, particularly within studies examining physiological adaptation to hot environments. Among the limited research that includes female participants, few studies have appropriately classified menstrual status of their participants or rigorously accounted for ovarian hormone influences ...

The effects of a (poly)phenol‐rich food intervention on markers of exercise‐induced inflammation and oxidative stress: A randomised controlled trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined whether consuming a (poly)phenol‐rich food before strenuous muscle‐damaging exercise can modify post‐exercise markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Using a double‐blinded, randomised, placebo‐controlled, between‐subjects design, 26 recreationally active males (n = 15) and females (n = 11) consumed higher‐(poly ...

Voltage‐gated potassium channels mediate thyroid hormone control of skeletal muscle excitability

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Thyroid hormone (TH)‐dependent remodelling of potassium (K+) channel networks regulates skeletal muscle (SkM) excitability. Triiodothyronine (T3), locally generated from thyroxine (T4) by type 2 deiodinase (D2), binds thyroid hormone receptors (TRα/β) and modulates transcription via thyroid response elements (TREs).

On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2408-2426, October 2026.
ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.

PEBP1 Regulates Ferroptosis in Acute Glaucoma: Targeted Therapy Using Engineered Exosomes

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.
General schematic diagram of Spatial and Single‐Cell Transcriptomics Identifies PEBP1 as a Ferroptosis Mediator in Glaucoma: Targeted Intervention by Engineered Stem Cell Exosomes. ABSTRACT Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, primarily driven by the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) under pathological high

The Combined Effect of Obesity and Contraceptive Use on Pulmonary Embolism in Adolescent Females Residing in the United States

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Combined oral contraceptive (COC) use in obese adult women dramatically increases the relative risk of developing a pulmonary embolism (PE). The risk of a PE in obese adolescent females taking contraceptives is currently unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and contraceptive

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

The Baboon as a Model to Study Human Health and Complex Disease

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 9, September 2026.
Baboons remain underappreciated as models of human biology and disease offering a distinct combination of biological and practical properties. In this review, we evaluate the baboon as a model for human complex diseases and make the case for broader use of baboons in translational research.

Editorial Commentary: Estrogen Influences Shoulder Health

Arthroscopy, Volume 42, Issue 9, Page 1538-1540, September 2026.
Abstract Estrogen influences bone mineral density, muscle quality and quantity, and collagen synthesis, rotator cuff tearing, worse outcomes after rotator cuff repair, hyperlaxity, and adhesive capsulitis. In this commentary, we discuss the potential explanations for the highly significant associations between hormonal systemic birth control and a ...
