    Early menarche and childbirth accelerate aging-related outcomes and age-related diseases: Evidence for antagonistic pleiotropy in humans

    Yifan Xiang, Vineeta Tanwar ... Pankaj Kapahi
    Mendelian randomization offers novel insights into the genetic factors that influence the aging process through early-life reproductive events, providing robust evidence for the antagonistic pleiotropy theory in humans.

    Acute aerobic exercise intensity does not modulate pain potentially due to differences in fitness levels and sex effects: results from a pharmacological fMRI study

    Janne Ina Nold, Tahmine Fadai, Christian Büchel
    Exercise intensity alone does not differentially reduce pain, but individual factors like fitness level and sex, along with opioid mechanisms, may influence exercise-induced pain relief.

    Efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant stereotactic body radiation therapy plus dalpiciclib and exemestane for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer: A prospective pilot study

    Yu Zhang, Shuo Cao ... Caigang Liu
    Neoadjuvant SBRT with dalpiciclib and exemestane resulted in a 16.7% RCB 0-I rate and a 91.7% ORR, with acceptable toxicities in HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients.

    EPHA4 signaling dysregulation links abnormal locomotion and the development of idiopathic scoliosis

    Lianlei Wang, Xinyu Yang ... Nan Wu
    EPHA4 pathway dysfunction causes axon pathfinding defects, resulting in impaired coordinated left-right locomotion by disrupting neural patterning and the function of central pattern generators, thereby potentially leading to idiopathic scoliosis.
