Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Here, we used Sendai virus to generate a human induced pluripotent stem cell line, LZUSHi003-A, from the peripheral mononuclear cells of a 13-year-old male patient carrying the DMD gene mutation c.3682delG. The LZUSHi003-A cell line retained this mutation, while expressing pluripotency markers. Additionally, it demonstrated a normal karyotype and could differentiate into three embryonic germ layers.

Background: Coronal wedge insoles are commonly prescribed to mitigate musculoskeletal disorders, yet their static-standing kinematic and kinetic effects on lower extremity joints remain insufficiently understood.
Methods: This cross-sectional experimental study included 15 healthy older adults (mean 64.9 ± 6.

Background: High-dose insulin and euglycemic therapy are widely used to treat calcium channel blocker toxicity. However, the effect of insulin on vasodilation evoked by the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker amlodipine remains unknown. This study examined the effect of insulin on amlodipine-induced vasodilation in isolated rat aortas with specific emphasis on mechanisms associated with nitric oxide (NO).

ARL13B is a regulatory GTPase enriched in cilia, making it a popular marker for this organelle. Arl13bhnn/hnn mice lack ARL13B expression, die during midgestation, and exhibit defects in ciliogenesis. The R26Arl13b-Fucci2aR biosensor mouse line directs the expression of fluorescently tagged full-length Arl13b cDNA upon Cre recombination.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) represents a challenging complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by slow healing processes. Protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) has been identified as a significant factor in the pathogenesis of various diabetic complications, including DFU. However, the precise underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated.

For individuals with diabetes, maintaining optimal glycaemic control is essential to reduce the risk of long-term complications. However, as patients approach the end of life, the emphasis on tight glycaemic targets becomes less relevant. Instead, the primary goal shifts to maintaining blood glucose levels within a range that minimises the risk of hypoglycaemia and prevents symptomatic hyperglycaemia, thereby ensuring comfort and quality of life.
