Obtaining differentiated cells with high physiological functions by an efficient, but simple and rapid differentiation method is crucial for modeling neuronal diseases in vitro using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs).Currently, methods involving the transient expression of one or a couple of transcription factors have been established as techniq
Effects of Interval Training Under Hypoxia on Hematological Parameters, Hemodynamic Function, and Endurance Exercise Performance in Amateur Female Runners in Korea
Interval training under hypoxia (IHT) is commonly used to enhance endurance exercise performance.However, previous studies examining hematologic changes related to the immune system that affect health and conditioning are lacking.This study aimed to evaluate the effects of IHT for 6-weeks on hematological parameters, hemodynamic function, and endur
The Actinomyosin Motor Drives Malaria Parasite Red Blood Cell Invasion but Not Egress
ABSTRACT Apicomplexa are obligate intracellular parasites that actively invade, replicate within, and egress from host cells.The parasite actinomyosin-based molecular motor complex (often referred to as the glideosome) is considered an important mediator of parasite motility and virulence.Mature intracellular parasites often become motile just prio
Rehabilitation and return to sport after hamstring strain injury
Hamstring strain injuries are common among sports that involve sprinting, kicking, and high-speed skilled movements or extensive muscle lengthening-type maneuvers with hip flexion and knee extension.These injuries present the challenge of significant recovery time and a lengthy period of increased susceptibility for recurrent injury.Nearly one thir
