Article Abstract

To clarify the changes of heat shock protein (HSP) 72 in the rat soleus muscle after hind-limb unloading (HU) and during reloading, 7-week-old male Wistar rats were hind-limb-suspended for 9 weeks, thereafter ambulatory recovery was permitted for 8 weeks. The body and absolute soleus weights were significantly lower in the HU than in the age-matched control group after HU and during reloading. The soleus weight relative to body weight was also significantly lower in the HU than in the age-matched control group at the end of 9 weeks of suspension, but returned to the control level after 2 weeks of reloading. The HSP72 content decreased to 38% of the control level after HU and conversely increased to 165 and 175% of the control level after 2 and 4 weeks of reloading, respectively. The HSP72 content returned to the control level after 8 weeks of reloading. Thus our results showed that the expression of HSP72 was downregulated by HU and upregulated temporally over the level of the control during the reloading period, and they suggested that these down- and up-regulations of HSP72 may be related to many factors including mechanical stress or load applied to the muscle.

Safety and immunogenicity of an mRNA-1273 vaccine booster in adolescents.

Hum Vaccin Immunother

December 2025

Research and Development, Infectious Disease, Moderna, Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA.

Safety, immunogenicity, and effectiveness of an mRNA-1273 50-μg booster were evaluated in adolescents (12-17 years), with and without pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants who had received the 2-dose mRNA-1273 100-µg primary series in the TeenCOVE trial (NCT04649151) were offered the mRNA-1273 50-μg booster. Primary objectives included safety and inference of effectiveness by establishing noninferiority of neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses after the booster compared with the nAb post-primary series of mRNA-1273 among young adults in COVE (NCT04470427).

Purpose: Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a highly aggressive malignancy defined by the loss of the SMARCB1 tumor suppressor. It mainly affects young individuals of African descent with sickle cell trait, and it is resistant to conventional therapies used for other renal cell carcinomas. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers for early detection and disease monitoring of RMC.

Background: Anterior glenoid bone defects significantly influence surgical outcomes in shoulder instability cases. Various measurement methods based on 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) have been developed. Recently, the simple linear formula method, which establishes a correlation between glenoid height and width, has emerged as a promising technique.

Introduction: Prescribable digital health applications (DiGAs) present scalable solutions to improve patient self-management in rheumatology, however real-world evidence is scarce. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effectiveness, usage, and usability of DiGAs prescribed by rheumatologists, as well as patient satisfaction.

Methods: The DiGAReal registry includes adult patients with rheumatic conditions who received a DiGA prescription.

Background: Our previous research demonstrated that growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) exhibited superior predictive capability for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) development with an AUC of 0.86 at 10 years before disease diagnosis. However, the specific pathways and molecular mechanisms associated with GDF15 expression during MASH development remain to be fully investigated in humans.
