Fibro‐Adipogenic Progenitor Ablation Triggers Muscle Atrophy Through Cell Death‐Induced Inflammation

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle mass maintenance involves coordination of myofibers with mononuclear cell populations, including satellite cells, resident macrophages and fibro‐adipogenic progenitors (FAPs). FAPs, identified by surface expression of PDGFRα, are important contributors to muscle homeostasis, as genetic ablation of FAPs induces rapid ...

Sex‐Dependent Alterations in Behavioral Development of Mice Lacking α5‐Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 10, October 2026.
Loss of α5‐nAChRs drives age‐dependent, sex‐specific behavioral alterations, with females showing early cognitive deficits and males a progressive decline. These findings identify α5‐nAChRs as key regulators of neural circuit maturation and underscore the critical importance of incorporating sex as a biological variable in preclinical research ...

Exploring the Value of Quantitative Muscle Ultrasound in Neuromuscular Junction Disorders: A Pilot Study

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1281-1287, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Quantitative muscle ultrasound (QMUS) is a validated technique for assessing muscle pathology, yet its role in disorders primarily affecting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) remains unclear. This pilot study aimed to explore whether QMUS is associated with structural muscle changes in patients with acquired or genetic NMJ ...

The Bile Acid Signaling Axis: Deciphering the Roles of FXR and TGR5 in Hepatic Steatosis, Fibrosis, and Cancer

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Bile acids (BAs) serve not only as emulsifiers for lipid digestion but also as essential signaling molecules, governing various physiological and pathological processes through their interaction with the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and the takeda G protein‐coupled receptor 5 (TGR5).

Assessing the potential for insecticide cross‐resistance to a novel insecticide in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) using phenotypic and transcript expression analysis

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9908-9919, October 2026.
Phenotypic and transcriptional responses to imidacloprid and isocycloseram were examined across U.S. populations of the Colorado potato beetle, showing evidence of phenotypic cross‐resistance alongside population‐level variation in detoxification gene expression.
