Cytosolic S100A8/A9 enhances Ca²⁺ availability at LFA-1 adhesion sites, facilitating neutrophil recruitment and extravasation by supporting proper integrin signaling and cytoskeletal rearrangement.

The pre-Bötzinger complex, known as the kernel for the breathing generation, consists of separate subpopulations of neurons that project to specific nuclei to coordinate respiratory rhythmicity with different physiological behaviors, such as nasofacial activity.

The primary rhythm generators controlling respiration are integrated in a much larger network of brain regions, including areas not typically considered to be respiratory control centers, and that allow respiration to be adapted to all forms of ongoing behavior.

The diameter of individual or multiple arterioles can be rapidly controlled with high spatiotemporal resolution using optogenetics, providing a technique for the direct manipulation of blood flow independently of neural activity or pharmacological agents.

Partial-volume effects were found to be the current limit to imaging pial arteries with MRI, not their slow blood flow, and therefore advanced acquisition techniques achieving resolutions below 200 µm in vivo provide a more complete picture of these vessels.

Spatio-temporal analysis using live imaging in zebrafish reveals mural cells as a source of pro-lymphangiogenic factors including chemokine and growth factor signalling, necessary for robust lymphatic endothelial cell migration and survival.

Renal capillary pericytes are a novel therapeutic target for reducing sustained reduction in renal blood flow ('no-reflow') after kidney ischaemia.
