Mechanical ventilation contributes to diaphragm atrophy and muscle weakness, which is referred to as ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). The pathogenesis of VIDD has not been fully understood until recently. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 24 h of mechanical ventilation on fibro-adipogenic progenitor (FAP) proliferation, endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), and immune cell infiltration driving diaphragm fibrosis in a rabbit model.

Rotator cuff tears (RCT) can cause shoulder pain, weakness and stiffness, significantly affecting daily life. Analysis of the GSE103266 dataset revealed significant changes in the mTOR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and lipid metabolism‑related pathways, suggesting that fatty infiltration may affect RCT. The analysis indicated that the ubiquitin ligase NEDD4 plays a critical role in RCT.

Porcine skeletal muscle development is closely linked to meat production efficiency and quality. The accumulation of porcine intramuscular fat is influenced by the hyperplasia and hypertrophy of adipocytes within the muscle. However, the cellular profiles corresponding to the two stages of muscle development remain undetermined.

As a common clinical manifestation, muscle weakness is prevalent in people with mobility disorders. Further studies of muscle weakness have found that patients with muscle weakness present with persistent muscle inflammation, loss of muscle fibers, fat infiltration, and interstitial fibrosis. Therefore, we propose the concept of muscle microenvironment homeostasis, which explains the abnormal pathological changes in muscles through the imbalance of muscle microenvironment homeostasis.

This study investigates the involvement of fibrosis in primary inferior oblique overaction (PIOOA), a strabismus characterized by excessive upward eye rotation. First, we identified extensive fibrotic changes in inferior oblique (IO) muscles in PIOOA patients compared to normal controls. A strong positive correlation was clinically established between the severity of PIOOA and the expression of collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1).
