Social Physiology: Human homeostasis is more efficient in social proximity
These findings demonstrate Social Physiology, a cross-domain principle whereby physiological homeostasis is more efficient in social proximity.
Peer-reviewed journalBold claims, read criticallyBroad interestPhysiological Group Synchrony Captures Individual Perceptions of Trust and Cohesion and Collective Performance through Multi-Channel Network Analysis
Together, these findings show that the social meaning of physiological group synchrony lies not only in how much individuals align, but in how physiological alignment is distributed across people, relationships, and biological systems.
PreprintStressful exposure from the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami drives long-term changes in thyroid hormone physiology
We find that greater tsunami exposure reduced levels of FT3 20 years later.
PreprintStaBLE: digital metrics capture balance performance across a wide spectrum of balance tasks and abilities
Together, our dataset, balance assessment protocol, and performance-based score demonstrate the validity of digital measures of balance.
PreprintReal-world usePolyisobutylene Micro/Nanoplastics Induce Multi-System Toxicity, Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction, and Neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster
Collectively, these findings establish PIB-MNPs as a multi-system toxicant in Drosophila.
PreprintCircadian Derived Features for Early Discrimination Across Insomnia Severity Levels: At Least 8 Weeks of Monitoring Are Needed for Clinically Meaningful Assessment
Across ISI categories, approximately eight weeks was the earliest time point at which wearable-derived features consistently achieved informative discrimination, with modest improvements thereafter.
PreprintReal-world useNon-linear growth models combined with survival rates identify the optimal rearing temperature and harvest timing in edible crickets, Gryllus bimaculatus and Teleogryllus occipitalis
These results suggest that 30.0 {degrees}C is the most suitable constant-temperature condition for maximising predicted productivity, although the optimal harvest timing differs between species.
PreprintReal-world useImpact of Driving Dynamic Fluctuations of 6DOF-SVC Model Predictions Across Five Real-World Driving Studies
As a result, the model can successfully estimate motion sickness risk across the test tracks, however, inaccuracies in the predicted MSI trajectories remain.
PreprintReal-world useAcute caffeine ingestion differentially alters motor unit behaviour during submaximal and fatiguing contractions
Conclusions: Acute caffeine ingestion alters motor unit behaviour without enhancing maximal force or fatigue resistance.
PreprintLimitations of renal arterial hemodynamic measures as candidate biomarkers of renal sympathetic innervation
Discussion: Renal arterial wave speed, input impedance, and their beat-to-beat variability did not consistently or dose-dependently reflect renal sympathetic innervation in these models.
PreprintA quantitative approach to assess similarity between dives under the Buhlmann decompression algorithm constraints
In this work, we evaluate existing dive profile metrics and propose a workflow to estimate dive profile deviations using the Buhlmann dissolved gas phase model.
PreprintReal-world useQuantifying the Effect of Trunk Postural Control on Reaching with Progressive Shoulder Abduction Loading in Hemiparetic Stroke
Conclusion: Active trunk control impacted reaching function and further reduced reaching distance in chronic hemiparetic stroke participants.
PreprintEvaluations of retrospective frequency and phase correction methods for single-voxel MR spectroscopy at 7T
These results indicate that each method provides practical benefits in improving the spectral linewidth, SNR, and similarity by showing a strong to very strong effect of the improvements (effect size>0.60).
PreprintReal-world useFunctional abiotic metabolite assembly hypothesis for the early events in the origin of life
Here, we propose the Functional Abiotic Metabolite Assembly hypothesis, in which simple prebiotically abundant molecules, particularly amino acids and nucleobases, preceded peptides and RNA as self-organizing functional entities.
