Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Sport-Related Injuries in Portuguese CrossFit® Practitioners and Their Characteristics
MusclesBackground/Objectives: CrossFit® is one of the most popular yet controversial training regimens. Some groups extol the positive effects of its practice, while others argue that it is unsafe and that there is limited information. The aim of this study was

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Complete Upper Body Bar Enhances Strength Training During Bench Press
MusclesBarbell (BB) and dumbbell (DB) devices are commonly used during a bench press to develop the muscles of the chest, shoulders, and upper arms. Recently, a complete upper body bar (CUBB) was designed to train the muscles of the forearm by allowing for ...

Muscle Spindles in Phasic and Tonic Muscle
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1964 Comparisons were made of muscle spindle structure between phasic and tonic muscles stained by the gold chloride method. The most significant difference was in the ring diameter of the sensory nerve terminals wrapped around the nuclear bags. In tibialis anterior it was largest, in gastrocnemius intermediate, and in soleus smallest.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...
