Exercise during 14 days of head down tilt bedrest attenuates motor unit impairments in older humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Head‐down tilt bedrest (HDBR) models the effects of mechanical unloading on neuromuscular function. The efficacy of exercise in preserving motor unit (MU) function in older adults during HDBR remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of 14‐day HDBR on MU properties in older adults and the protective role of exercise.

Quantifying skin microvascular function responses to distinct forms of heat stress in humans using optical coherence tomography

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables visualization and quantification of the cutaneous microvasculature, yet no study has compared responses to distinct forms of heating in humans. We hypothesized that local skin heating (LH) would evoke larger responses in microvascular diameter, velocity, flow and density than passive whole‐body ...

Increasing paced heart rate reduces cerebral pulsatility

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cerebral pulsatility is a key index of cerebral haemodynamics, a central determinant of intravascular shear stress within intracranial vessels, and is associated with cerebral small vessel disease. It increases with a spontaneously falling heart rate, but the effect of altering heart rates on cerebral haemodynamics is unknown.

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.

hERG1 channels and potential therapeutics for long QT syndrome

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prolonged QT results from hERG1 channel dysfunction. (A) Physiological anterograde trafficking of hERG1 channels to the plasma membrane, leading to a normal electrocardiogram. (B) Prolonged QT results from the presence of fewer hERG1 channels on the plasma membrane due to decreased anterograde trafficking or reduced function due ...
