Pilates Method as a complementary activity reduces myofascial stiffness and pain in women with breast cancer undergoing aromatase inhibitor therapy: a randomized controlled trial

Scientific Reports
Evidence supporting the effectiveness of non-pharmacological exercise interventions to mitigate the side effects of aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy among breast cancer (BC) patients remains limited.

Effect of Power Output and Pedaling Cadence on Plantar Pressures in Professional Cyclists with Overuse Injuries

Sports
Background: Plantar pressure analysis provides insight into load distribution at the foot–pedal interface during cycling; however, its modulation by pedaling power, cadence, and overuse injury status remains poorly understood by professional cyclists. It

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

A 24-week multi-component exercise program improves cognition and body composition in older adults with mild cognitive impairment: a randomized controlled trial

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
BackgroundThis study investigated whether a 24-week, community-based multicomponent exercise intervention (MCEI) can improve body composition and cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).MethodsIn this single-center ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Kinetic analysis of change of direction simulating a defensive action in soccer players with and without acute fatigue

Heliyon
The objective of this study is to analyse the kinetic effects of acute fatigue during a 45° change of direction executed with the non-dominant limb, emulating a typical defensive action during pressing in soccer.

Subjective assessment and biochemical evaluation of traction therapy in women with chronic low back pain: does body mass index matter? A clinical study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background Apart from the positive effect of lumbar traction on structural changes within the spine in patients with low back pain, it is likely that therapeutic effects are correlated with pain biomarkers in the blood.
