Relation Between Calcaneal Fat Pad Thickness and Plantar Foot Ulceration in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Thinning of fat pads may elevate the risk of developing plantar foot ulcers potentially resulting in lower‐extremity amputations. Evaluating whether fat pad thickness is associated with plantar foot ulceration could aid in early risk detection. This study therefore aims to compare fat pad thickness between type 2 diabetes mellitus

Selective activation of vitamin D receptor by lithocholic acid acetate, a bile acid derivative

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
The vitamin D receptor (VDR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, mediates the biological actions of the active form of vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

Gamma Rays Signal the Vulnerability of Forest to Extreme Drought

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Extreme drought and heat are driving forest die‐off globally, yet regional‐scale mapping of subsurface water storage capacity, governing forest vulnerability, remains a major challenge. Here, we demonstrate that airborne gamma‐ray spectrometry (GRS) of potassium (40K) decay provides a powerful proxy for subsurface constraints on water ...

Gut Microbiota, Immunity, and Metabolism in the Progression From Chronic Liver Disease to Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
This review explains how chronic liver injury progresses toward hepatocellular carcinoma through interconnected changes in gut microbes, metabolism, immunity, fibrosis, and diet. It highlights microbial metabolites, bile‐acid signaling, immune dysfunction, and nutritional or microbiome‐based interventions as opportunities to identify risk earlier ...

Vitamin D and adverse pathologic features in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy in the contemporary magnetic resonance imaging‐guided management era

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the association between serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25‐OH D) levels and adverse pathologic features in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) in the contemporary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐guided management era.

Population Genomics Insights into Pharmacogenomic Differentiation Between East Asians and Europeans

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 2, Page 510-519, August 2026.
Genetic variation contributes substantially to interindividual and interpopulation differences in drug response, yet most pharmacogenomic studies remain biased toward European populations. Here, we systematically assessed pharmacogenomic variation across East Asians (EAS) and Europeans (EUR) using public genomic datasets and investigated the potential ...

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 ...

PondNet – towards a global network of experiments on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

Genome‐Wide Association Study of Lean Body Mass Response to Resistance Training in Young Asians

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Resistance training (RT) is an established intervention for increasing lean body mass (LBM), individual hypertrophic responses exhibit significant heterogeneity, largely influenced by genetic factors. This genome‐wide association study (GWAS) aimed to identify novel genetic variants associated with changes in lean body mass (∆LBM ...
