An anatomically defined retinotopy atlas was applied to the inflated cortical surface for each participant in order to delineate the borders of V1, V2 and V3, and also each degree of eccentricity up ...

This study demonstrates that plant and fruit volatiles can be organized according to a low-dimensional hyperbolic map, and that within this map exist trajectories that correspond to important ...

This valuable report describes the changing antiviral activity of IFIT1 across mammals and in response to distinct viruses, likely as a result of past arms races. One of the main strengths of the ...

Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 (PD-1) represents endogenous mechanisms of negative immunoregulation. While the modulation of effector functions has been the major focus of PD-1 research, quick PD-1 ...

Researchers have discovered a new plant seed fossil, Alasemenia, one of the earliest known examples of a winged seed.

The advent of large-scale sequencing in both development and disease has identified large numbers of candidate genes that may be linked to important phenotypes. Validating the function of these ...

In this important study, the authors used a zebrafish model and scRNAseq analysis to show that a subset of keratinocytes within melanoma microenvironment highly up-regulate Twist and undergo ...

This important study shows that sound exposure enhances drug delivery to the cochlea via outer hair cell electromotility acting as a "fluid pump". Although others have proposed that electromotility ...

The fusion of two genes on chromosome 12 – NAB2 and STAT6 – has been found in a rare form of cancer, known as a solitary fibrous tumor, which can form in almost any part of the body ( Thway et al., ...

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 ...

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' ...

Psoriasis is a multifactorial immune-mediated inflammatory disease. Its pathogenesis involves abnormal accumulation of neutrophils and T-cell related abnormalities. Pyroptosis is a type of regulated ...
