The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain morphogenesis.

Loss of class A scavenger receptor MARCO results in elevated lung Ace expression and elevated plasma aldosterone concentrations in male mice, demonstrating an endocrine function of this immune scavenger receptor.

Nonlinear dendritic integration in single presubicular neurons provides a mechanism for combining vestibular-based head-direction signals and visual landmark signals to anchor the brain’s internal compass.

CpG density and epigenetic modification state modulate DNA mechanics, altering its intrinsic compatibility with nucleosome formation.

PLSCR1 is an IFN-λ-stimulated gene that enhances IFN-λR1 expression at both transcriptional and protein level, highlighting the potential for targeting PLSCR1 pathways in anti-influenza therapy.

Transposon sequencing analyses reveal that among genomically diverse clinical Mycobacterium intracellulare strains and the type strain, 131 genes were comprehensively identified as universal essential genes suggesting promising drug targets.

A combination of viral strategies, electrophysiological methods, and behavioral tests reveals how GPR30 in spinal CCK⁺ neurons modulates neuropathic pain.

Computer screening identifies that the widely prescribed vitamin A derivative all-trans retinoic acid increases both longevity and late-life health in a powerful genetic model system.

In spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage patients, features of hematoma expansion can be visualized and predicted from non-contrast computed tomography using transport-based morphometry.
