It is allowing people to do biochemistry with mammalian embryos that they couldn’t do otherwise. After a sperm fertilizes an egg, the totipotent cell divides into a zygote. As division continues, some ...

highlighting the necessity of knowing the cell type targets of interareal connections in order to relate anatomy with physiology and behavior. This work provides a computational and theoretical ...

Microglia, the innate immune cells of the CNS parenchyma, serve as the first line of defense in a myriad of neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, and neuroinflammatory conditions. In response to the ...

Living cells are constantly exposed to mechanical stimuli arising from the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) or from neighboring cells. The intracellular molecular processes through which such ...
