Diet-induced obesity differentially regulates behavioral, biomechanical, and molecular risk factors for osteoarthritis in mice.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2010)
INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis
in both weight-bearing and nonweight-bearing joints. The mechanisms by which obesity
influences the structural or symptomatic features of ...
Heptahelical receptor signaling: beyond the G protein paradigm.
(J Cell Biol, 1999-05-31)
Neuroepithelial circuit formed by innervation of sensory enteroendocrine cells.
(J Clin Invest, 2015-02)
Satiety and other core physiological functions are modulated by sensory signals arising
from the surface of the gut. Luminal nutrients and bacteria stimulate epithelial biosensors
called enteroendocrine cells. Despite being ...
Gene expression signatures of radiation response are specific, durable and accurate in mice and humans.
(PLoS One, 2008-04-02)
BACKGROUND: Previous work has demonstrated the potential for peripheral blood (PB)
gene expression profiling for the detection of disease or environmental exposures.
METHODS AND FINDINGS: We have sought to determine the ...
Astrocytes refine cortical connectivity at dendritic spines.
(Elife, 2014-12-17)
During cortical synaptic development, thalamic axons must establish synaptic connections
despite the presence of the more abundant intracortical projections. How thalamocortical
synapses are formed and maintained in this ...
Lack of evidence for ectopic sprouting of genetically labeled Aβ touch afferents in inflammatory and neuropathic trigeminal pain.
(Mol Pain, 2015-04-10)
BACKGROUND: Mechanical and in particular tactile allodynia is a hallmark of chronic
pain in which innocuous touch becomes painful. Previous cholera toxin B (CTB)-based
neural tracing experiments and electrophysiology studies ...
Neutralization properties of simian immunodeficiency viruses infecting chimpanzees and gorillas.
(MBio, 2015-04-21)
UNLABELLED: Broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies (bNabs) represent powerful
tools to combat human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Here, we examined
whether HIV-1-specific bNabs are capable ...
Human Non-neutralizing HIV-1 Envelope Monoclonal Antibodies Limit the Number of Founder Viruses during SHIV Mucosal Infection in Rhesus Macaques.
(PLoS Pathog, 2015-08)
HIV-1 mucosal transmission begins with virus or virus-infected cells moving through
mucus across mucosal epithelium to infect CD4+ T cells. Although broadly neutralizing
antibodies (bnAbs) are the type of HIV-1 antibodies ...
Building an organic computing device with multiple interconnected brains.
(Scientific reports, 2015-07-09)
Recently, we proposed that Brainets, i.e. networks formed by multiple animal brains,
cooperating and exchanging information in real time through direct brain-to-brain
interfaces, could provide the core of a new type of computing ...
Simultaneous transcranial magnetic stimulation and single-neuron recording in alert non-human primates.
(Nat Neurosci, 2014-08)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a widely used, noninvasive method for stimulating
nervous tissue, yet its mechanisms of effect are poorly understood. Here we report
new methods for studying the influence of TMS ...
