It’s set off a lot of research ideas in the Alzheimer’s field as well, up to the point of planning human gene therapy trials and development of potential therapeutic antibody treatments. And such ...
Distinct properties of glutamate-dopamine, nonglutamate-dopamine, and glutamate-only ventral tegmental area neurons Combined, our analyses designated 126 genes as FIRST genes. As anticipated, FIRST ...
A genome-wide map of the genetic network in monocytes that regulates type I interferon induction by the cGAS-STING pathway Dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) have roles in motivation ...
A new study in tree shrews now suggests a key to preventing myopia may be the indigo portion of sunlight. Adding this part of the light spectrum to the animals’ environment prevented them from ...
In 2023, at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Kansas, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) celebrated the opening of a massive new biodefense lab. The $1.25 billion National Bio and Agro-Defense ...
Jomon genomics reveal cold adaptation in Upper Paleolithic hunter-gatherers of eastern Eurasia The integration of synaptic inputs is a fundamental function of neurons. In the traditional model, ...
The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)–stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway promotes tumor immunogenicity, but intratumoral STING agonists, despite strong preclinical efficacy, have shown ...
When I recently opened up my word processor to start to compose a manuscript, I felt like I was learning to write again. I had to find the right words, the right style, the right voice. Every possible ...
The burning bans have also contributed to increased agricultural non–point-source pollution. Burning can rapidly clear fields, suppress pests and diseases, and return ash nutrients to the soil (10).
In the past decade, as opioids claimed nearly half a million lives across the United States, surgeons, dentists, and other ...
