Glutamatergic–cholinergic neurons in the postinspiratory complex are critical for swallow motor patterning and the coordination of swallow and breathing, which is disrupted by chronic intermittent hypoxia, a condition seen in many disorders associated with dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia.

Hypobaric hypoxia exposure initiates splenic ferroptosis, reducing red pulp macrophages and exacerbating high-altitude polycythemia by impairing erythrophagocytosis and increasing red blood cell retention.

Expression of Bisphosphoglycerate mutase, a key enzyme affecting the release of oxygen from hemoglobin, is augmented in the murine placenta challenged by gestational hypoxia in mice while its expression is attenuated in placenta of human FGR.

Fish schools showed an U-shaped metabolism-speed curve and reduced the energy use per tail beat up to 56% at high swimming speeds compared to solitary fish.

The specific metabolic pathways that increase neuron regeneration in ogt-1 mutant C. elegans following in vivo laser axotomy, highlighting the potential power for such metabolic targets in the treatment of neuronal injury.

A combination of bioinformatics, protein biochemistry, and X-ray crystal structures reveals new bacterial proteins that are capable of binding to sterols.

Pulsatile chromatin opening stimulated by naturally-occurring plasma growth hormone pulses is one of two GH-determined mechanisms that establish widespread sex differences in hepatic chromatin accessibility and epigenetic regulation, both closely linked to sex differences in liver gene transcription and function.

Intermittent fasting orchestrates molecular shifts, yielding cardiovascular improvements, revealing novel cardioprotective mechanisms, and suggesting innovative pharmacological strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment.
