In vitro muscle contraction: A technical review on electrical pulse stimulation in C2C12 cells

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) of skeletal muscle cells is increasingly used to model exercise In vitro. The murine C2C12 myotube system has become a common platform for such studies, yet wide variability in EPS protocols hampers reproducibility and cross‐study comparisons.

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Δ9 Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabis extracts differentially improve adipoinsular dysfunction in diet‐induced obesity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend THC and extract administered to diet‐induced obese mice reduced body weight and fat storage. Extract, but not THC, improved glucose clearance by a mechanism that may include restoring adipoinsular function. Abstract Diet‐induced obesity (DIO) is associated with dysregulated adipoinsular axis and endocannabinoid system (eCBS ...

Silymarin and Its Isolated Flavanonol Lignans Are Liver X Receptor Antagonists

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 6, June 2026.
Despite its long tradition in the treatment of liver‐related ailments, the precise mode of action of the milk thistle fruit extract remains vague. Here we identified liver X receptor as a molecular target of silymarin, a mixture of bioactive compounds from milk thistle extract, and its major flavanonol lignan components, which account for their anti ...

Reciprocal Expression of Myostatin and Vitamin D Receptors in Sarcopenia

Journal of the Indian Academy of Geriatrics, 2017
Background: Sarcopenia is the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength or/and performance that occurs in concert with biological aging. Objectives: To evaluate both myostatin (MST) and vitamin D3 receptor (VDR) genes expression in Egyptian adults with ...

Vitamins as potent cancer treatments through regulating the activity and expression of MMP‐2 and MMP‐9

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 745-755, June 2026.
Vitamins could regulate both MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 expression and activity through transcriptional and MAPK signaling pathway modulation. This study highlights the potential of vitamins as low‐toxicity therapeutic or adjunct agents for targeting MMP‐mediated cancer progression. Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP‐2 and MMP‐9) are key regulators of cancer

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,
