Although the importance of magnesium for overall health and physiological function is well established, its influence on exercise performance is less clear. The primary study objective was to determine the influence of short-term magnesium supplementation on cycle ergometer exercise performance. The hypothesis was that magnesium would elicit an ergogenic effect.

Fetal movement is a commonly monitored indicator of fetal wellbeing with reductions in fetal movement being associated with poor perinatal outcomes. However, more informative datasets of fetal movement are required for improved clinical decision making. Wearable sensors coupled with machine learning (ML) methods could support accurate detection of fetal movement.

This is commonly achieved by the incorporation of molecular imaging reporters, therapeutic agents, and targeting moieties into a single nanomaterial. Hyperbranched polymers have been successfully developed into theranostics owing to the high diversity of functionality that can be introduced through the distinct chemistries of their chain ends, branch points, and sidechains.

Here, we have utilized the Flp/FRT system to generate mitotic clones within the developing eye. These clones were screened for mutations that disrupt cell division, organ patterning, and cell growth.
