Live imaging and single-cell sequencing analyses on zebrafish models revealed that noncaloric monosaccharides and glucose similarly induce excessive blood vessel formation due to endothelial cells' ...
A modelling-based analysis reveals a novel type of selectivity for chromatic contrast in a mouse retinal ganglion cell type, and experimental evidence shows that this feature makes this cell type well ...
For human tissues, prior experimental manipulations are impractical, and genomic alterations are employed. Somatic mutations mark subclones and their fates can be reconstructed with DNA sequencing ...
This valuable paper seeks to determine the role of endogenous CNS hemoglobin in protecting mitochondrial homeostasis in hypoxia. There is merit in the work, although it remains incomplete as there is ...
This manuscript provides important new insight into the mechanisms underlying seasonal physiology, using medaka fish as a functional genetic model that naturally exhibits photoperiodic responses. The ...
This manuscript reports on the effects of a single dose of methamphetamine vs placebo on a probabilistic reversal learning task with different levels of noise, in a large group of young healthy ...
The neurotransmitter dopamine helps form long-term memories by increasing the production of proteins through a unique signaling pathway.
In mammals, autophagosome formation, a central event in autophagy, is initiated by the ULK complex comprising ULK1/2, FIP200, ATG13, and ATG101. However, the structural basis and mechanism of the ULK ...
This important work shows how a simple geophysical setting of gas flow over a narrow channel of water can create a physical environment that leads to the isothermal replication of nucleic acids. The ...
This useful study by Gao et al identifies Hspa2 as a heterogeneous transcript in the early embryo and proposes a plausible mechanism showing interactions with Carm1. The authors propose that ...
A high density of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is associated with poorer prognosis and survival in breast cancer patients. Recent studies have shown that lipid accumulation in TAMs can promote ...
Changes in neural activity thought to reflect brain aging may be partly influenced by age-dependent signals ‘leaking’ from the heart.
