  • The study investigates how arsenic exposure affects the mouse placenta using single-cell RNA sequencing to uncover changes in gene expression and function across various cell types.
  • A key finding is the significant upregulation of the Prap1 gene, which encodes a protein that appears to provide protective effects against arsenic toxicity, particularly in female placental cells.
  • The research highlights the potential for understanding how environmental toxins impact fetal development and suggests new strategies for preventing and treating related health issues in mothers and their children.

Content: Lower extremity landing mechanics have been implicated as a contributing factor in knee pain and injury, yet cost effective and clinically accessible methods for evaluating movement mechanics are limited. The identification of valid, reliable, and readily accessible technology to assess lower extremity alignment could be an important tool for clinicians, coaches, and strength and conditioning specialists.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of using a hand-held tablet and movement analysis application (app) for assessing lower extremity alignment during a drop vertical jump task.
