Long term in vitro expansion of epithelial stem cells enabled by pharmacological inhibition of PAK1-ROCK-Myosin II and TGF-β signaling [PDF]
Summary: Despite substantial self-renewal capability in vivo, epithelial stem and progenitor cells located in various tissues expand for a few passages in vitro in feeder-free condition before they succumb to growth arrest.

A self-excited threshold autoregressive state-space model for menstrual cycles: forecasting menstruation and identifying ovarian phases based on basal body temperature [PDF]
The menstrual cycle is composed of the follicular phase and subsequent luteal phase based on events occurring in the ovary. Basal body temperature (BBT) reflects this biphasic aspect of menstrual cycle and tends to be relatively low during the follicular phase.

Antisense-mediated exon skipping: a therapeutic strategy for titin-based dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Frameshift mutations in the TTN gene encoding titin are a major cause for inherited forms of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a heart disease characterized by ventricular dilatation, systolic dysfunction, and progressive heart failure. To date, there are no

Modeling somatic computation with non-neural bioelectric networks [PDF]
The field of basal cognition seeks to understand how adaptive, context-specific behavior occurs in non-neural biological systems. Embryogenesis and regeneration require plasticity in many tissue types to achieve structural and functional goals in diverse circumstances.

Quantification of left ventricular longitudinal strain, strain rate, velocity and displacement in healthy horses by 2-dimensional speckle tracking [PDF]
Background: The quantification of equine left ventricular (LV) function is generally limited to short-axis M-mode measurements. However, LV deformation is 3-dimensional (3D) and consists of longitudinal shortening, circumferential shortening, and radial ...
