We respond to concerns expressed by Pacifici and Shore (2019) about our recent paper (Lees-Shepard et al., 2018a).

We are writing to communicate our concerns regarding the recently published study by Lees-Shepard et al. (2018).

An analysis of papers in which two or more authors shared first-author position found that male authors were more likely than female authors to appear first in the author list.

The myopathic transcription factor DUX4 induces discordant dysregulation of transcript and protein levels, demonstrating a key role for post-transcriptional gene regulation in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

The density of the gut microbiota influences the host immune system and adiposity, and can be therapeutically manipulated.

Many papers in basic biomedical science do not contain the information that is needed to determine what statistical tests were used and to verify the results of these tests.

Cardiomyocyte Nox4 is a crucial physiological mediator of Nrf2 activation during acute exercise, triggering an adaptive response that preserves redox balance, mitochondrial and cardiac function to support normal physical exercise.

mTORC1 inhibition by perinatal ER stress induces beta-cell growth arrest with subsequent development of diabetes.

Exploring how proliferation and maturation of beta-cells can be impaired after birth will shed light on the origins of various forms of diabetes.

Stimulation of endothelial glucose metabolism and vascular growth by genetic depletion of endothelial Foxo1 improves the whole-body response to a high-fat diet, by preserving adipose tissue functions and glucose homeostasis.
