Proteomics uncovers thus far unknown age and sex differences in sciatic nerve and skin of naïve mice, highlighting the importance of adequate age matching and parallel investigation of male and female mice in biomedical studies.
GLMsingle is a publicly available toolbox for analyzing fMRI time-series data that leverages data-driven optimization techniques to improve the accuracy of single-trial BOLD response estimates.

In situ X-ray imaging of biological tissue samples in staining solution while they are being processed for electron microscopy reveals novel insights into the diffusion-reaction kinetics, tissue mechanics, and staining quality.
Proteolytic events targeting histones can be harnessed to develop antibodies for neutrophil extracellular traps, improving researchers’ ability to distinguish these chromatin-based structures in human samples.
