As effectors of interactions between genes and the environment, plasma proteins can monitor homeostasis and reflect the aging state of an organism. However, biomarkers of aging that are associated with homeostasis are still unclear. This study investigates the phenotype-related plasma proteome profiles of healthy individuals and to identify proteins that are specifically related to aging and physiological indices and their expression patterns across the lifespan. From September 2020 to March 2021, 71 participants aged over 20 to 100 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Data were analyzed from April 2021 to December 2023. The plasma proteome was analyzed to identify proteins that are specifically related to aging and their expression patterns across the lifespan. Then, hub proteins were screened through correlation of aging proteins with physiological and biochemical phenotypes. Based on levels of plasma proteins, physiological indices are associated with age. Additionally, these differences in protein expression correlate with age and physiological indices. Finally, we identified 20 hub proteins that correlate with both physiological indices and age, and these proteins are involved in oxidative stress, inflammation and metabolism. Bibliometric analysis confirmed that 8 hub proteins (CD44, CD14, IGF2, CFD, LBP, IGFBP3, EFEMP1, and AHSG) associated with age affect organ function by mediating homeostasis. Plasma proteins associated with both age and physiological indices are involved in oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolism. This is the first investigation to link aging and homeostasis based on plasma proteins.

Purpose: After stromal injury to the cornea, the release of growth factors and pro-inflammatory cytokines promotes the activation of quiescent keratocytes into a migratory fibroblast and/or fibrotic myofibroblast phenotype. Persistence of the myofibroblast phenotype can lead to corneal fibrosis and scarring, which are leading causes of blindness worldwide. This study aims to establish comprehensive transcriptional profiles for cultured corneal keratocytes, fibroblasts, and myofibroblasts to gain insights into the mechanisms through which these phenotypic changes occur.

Muscadine grapes are renowned for their unique traits, natural disease resistance, and rich bioactive compounds. Despite extensive research on their phytochemical properties, microbial communities, particularly endophytic bacteria, remain largely unexplored. These bacteria play crucial roles in plant health, stress tolerance, and ecological interactions.

Background: Affect dynamics, or variations in emotional experiences over time, are linked to psychological health and well-being, with moderate emotional variations indicating good psychophysical health. Given the impact of emotional state on cardiac variability, our objective was to develop a quantitative method to measure affect dynamics for better understanding emotion temporal management in Anorexia Nervosa (AN).
Methods: The study proposed an experimental and methodological approach to evaluate physiological affect dynamics in clinical settings.

Research in lower limb wearable robotic control has largely focused on reducing the metabolic cost of walking or compensating for a portion of the biological joint torque, for example, by applying support proportional to estimated biological joint torques. However, due to different musculotendon unit (MTU) contractile speed properties, less attention has been given to the development of wearable robotic controllers that can steer MTU dynamics directly. Therefore, closed-loop control of MTU dynamics needs to be robust across fiber phenotypes, that is ranging from slow type I to fast type IIx in humans.
