Article Synopsis
- The mammary gland is crucial for the development and survival of mammals, with myoepithelial cells playing a key role in milk ejection through contractions triggered by oxytocin.
- The study utilizes mice with a genetically encoded calcium indicator (GCaMP6f) to visualize changes in intracellular calcium in mammary epithelial cells.
- The chapter includes a detailed procedure for preparing mammary tissue and primary cells for observation, both in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) settings.
Objectives: Breast cancer remains a prevalent disease in women worldwide. Though advancements in breast cancer care have improved patient survival, a breast cancer diagnosis, and subsequent interventions have a lasting impact on patients' lived experiences during the pandemic.
Methods: We present the collaborative learning process from this patient engagement workshop series as a community-academic partnership.

November 2024
Objectives: Assess the effect of water dousing on heat strain and performance during self- and fixed-paced exercise in the heat.
Design: Crossover, block-randomized controlled trial.
Methods: Thirteen trained runners completed a 10-km time trial (TT) and 60-minute fixed-pace run (60% velocity of V˙O2max) in a 30.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed injury and illness data from a junior Australian football league over six years (2015-2021) involving 1559 players, aiming to create a profile of common injuries.
- It found a total of 1023 injuries, with the most frequent being ankle sprains, hamstring strains, and concussions, particularly noting that ankle sprains caused the most missed matches.
- While the incidence of common injuries remained stable, the burden of certain injuries like concussions and ACL injuries significantly increased, indicating a need for improved injury prevention strategies.
