Mechanistic Insights Into the Tumor‐Driving and Diagnostic Roles of KCTD Family Genes in Ovarian Cancer: An Integrated In Silico and In Vitro Analysis by Ling Zhang, Chong Cheng, Bin Tang

“…ABSTRACT Background Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies, characterized by late‐stage diagnosis and high recurrence rates. Despite advances in treatment, the overall survival rate for OC patients remains low due to the lack of reliable biomarkers for early detection and prognosis. …”

Force fluctuations regulation and the role of neurophysiological mechanisms throughout different isometric contraction intensities by João H. Oliveira, João S. Gomes, Philipp Bauer, Pedro Pezarat-Correia, João R. Vaz

“…We demonstrated a trend for an inverted U-shaped relationship between force complexity and contraction intensity, with SampEn at ETT and 150%ETT being significantly higher than at 50%ETT and 75%ETT (all p < 0.05). This pattern was accompanied by an increase in motor unit actions potentials and firing rate as the intensity increased up to 150%ETT (all p < 0.05). …”
