The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of dogs in medieval Novgorod. Based on the unique osteological collection of canine bones from layers of 10th to 14th centuries AD, research showed that the ‘classical’ medium‐sized mesocephalic animals were the most widespread in the city in the discussed times. Well suitable for the alarm guarding, they were rarely used for food or skins. Smaller and larger specimens are rare and most likely represent the luxury breeds of upper classes or prosperous citizens.

Single amino acid substitutions in the ATP-binding domain of ACVRL1, a key receptor in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, are frequently classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), complicating molecular diagnosis for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). Since aberrant ATP binding disrupts downstream SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation, we employed molecular dynamics ...

Background Cardiac fibrosis represents a significant health burden, with endothelial dysfunction and damaged
perivascular microenvironment increasingly recognized as key contributors to fibrotic remodeling. The urokinase
plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), a critical component of the urokinase system, plays a pivotal role in vascular
remodeling and fibrosis. While prior evidence indicates that uPAR deficiency leads to microvascular dysfunction and
perivascular fibrosis, ...

Motor imagery (MI) allows individuals to mentally simulate movements without execution, engaging neural pathways that overlap with those used during real actions. However, how imagery perspective influences corticospinal excitability across different effectors remains unclear. Using neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we compared kinesthetic (KMI), first-person visual (VMI-1PP), and third-person visual (VMI-3PP) imagery of elbow flexion-extension ...
