513 A CTS team approach to investigate skeletal muscle diseases and countermeasures in a donor-derived bioengineered muscle platform by Karly Caples, Vinicius Mariani, Elisabeth Barton, Siobhan Malany

“…Objectives/Goals: Our team has developed a 24-well donor-derived skeletal muscle microphysiological system (MPS) to study signaling pathways associated with a variety of muscle diseases. 3D muscle will be utilized to evaluate pharmacologic interventions for these muscle conditions to improve both muscle mass and function. Methods/Study Population: In this study, muscle MPS were formed from healthy young female and male subjects. 3D muscle underwent a 21-day differentiation with an electrical stimulation (e-stim) regimen twice daily beginning on Day 14. …”

Effects of an intervention combining physical activity and components of Amygdala and Insula Retraining (AIR) on sleep and working memory among older male adults by Monireh Asadi Ghaleni, Forouzan Fattahi Masrour, Narjes Saryar, Alexandra J. Bratty, Ebrahim Norouzi, Matheus Santos de Sousa Fernandes, Georgian Badicu

“…All participants completed measurements for sleep quality, depressive symptoms, working memory, and emotion regulation at baseline, 12 weeks (immediately after the intervention), and 8 weeks later.ResultsAmong the 36 individuals who finished the study, their sleep quality, working memory, and emotion regulation improved, and their depressive symptoms were reduced from baseline to 12 weeks (post-intervention) and 8 weeks later; these effects were seen even more so for the PAAIR group compared to the control group, with large to extremely large effect sizes.ConclusionThe findings suggest that PAAIR has the potential to enhance sleep quality, cognitive function, and emotion regulation and reduce depressive symptoms among older men, thus contributing to their quality of life and mental health.…”
