3D Mitochondrial Structure in Aging Human Skeletal Muscle: Insights Into MFN‐2‐Mediated Changes
Changes in mitochondrial structure and dynamics during aging provide a mechanism for the development of age‐related sarcopenia, a condition characterized by muscle mass loss. Through the creation of three‐dimensional models of mitochondria from quadriceps muscle tissue taken from old and young humans, a loss in mitochondrial complexity was observed to ...

Rare but relevant: Hydrocarbons and sudden sniffing syndrome
Abstract Inhaled hydrocarbon‐associated sudden collapse (IHASC), often referred to as ‘sudden sniffing death syndrome’ is a critical and often fatal event linked to the inhalation of volatile hydrocarbons, primarily occurring in adolescents and young adults. This syndrome manifests as sudden cardiac and/or respiratory arrest, typically occurring during

Abstract Background Left ventricular (LV) unloading is a crucial intervention to decrease the harmful consequences of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on hemodynamic status in cardiogenic shock (CS) patients. However, a lingering question preoccupies experts: Should we intervene early or wait until clinical deterioration caused by increasing ...

Elevated angiogenin levels in skeletal muscle are linked to slower disease progression, enhanced regeneration, and vascularization through satellite‐endothelial interaction during myogenesis in ALS. Angiogenin and its tiRNAs may serve as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for ALS.

G protein‐coupled receptor‐mediated autophagy in health and disease
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse superfamily of mammalian transmembrane proteins. These receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological functions and are targets for more than a third of available drugs in the market. Autophagy is a cellular process involved in degrading damaged proteins and organelles

Abstract Background and Purpose Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) involves genetic mutations affecting ion channels, leading to a prolonged QT interval and increased risk of potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias. Mutations in the genes encoding KV7.1/KCNE1 are the most frequent, with channel loss‐of‐function contributing to LQTS.
