Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the potential of short-term aerobic exercise to mitigate skeletal muscle mitochondrial damage following ambient PM2.5 exposure, and how 12 weeks of endurance training can enhance aerobic fitness to protect against such damage.
Methods: Twenty-four male C57BL/6 J mice were split into sedentary (SED, = 12) and endurance training (ETR, = 12) groups.
One of the most important strategies for successful aging is exercise. However, the effect of exercise can differ among individuals, even with exercise of the same type and intensity. Therefore, this study aims to confirm whether endurance training (ETR) has the same health-promoting effects on the musculoskeletal and hematopoietic systems regardless of age.

Although studies have revealed that aberrant activation of STING was implicated in various autoimmune diseases, the role of STING in RA remains unclear. In the current study, we demonstrated that STING activation was pivotal in RA pathogenesis.

Recent studies revealed that osteogenic differentiation of tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) played an important role in the pathogenesis of tendon calcification and tendinopathy. In this study, we found that the growth hormone-releasing hormone agonist (GA) can prevent matrix degradation and osteogenic differentiation in TSPCs.
