Differential roles of NaV1.2 and NaV1.6 in neocortical pyramidal cell excitability

eLife
Mature neocortical pyramidal cells functionally express two sodium channel (NaV) isoforms: NaV1.2 and NaV1.6. These isoforms are differentially localized to pyramidal cell compartments, and as such are thought to contribute to different aspects of ...

Rapid genetic algorithm optimization of a mouse computational model: Benefits for anthropomorphization of neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
While the mouse presents an invaluable experimental model organism in biology, its usefulness in cardiac arrhythmia research is limited in some aspects due to major electrophysiological differences between murine and human action potentials (APs).

Exercise Capacity, Physical Activity, Fatigue, and Neurocognitive Function in Adult Survivors of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at risk of reduced exercise capacity, decreased physical activity levels, persistent fatigue, and neurocognitive deficits. The aim was to investigate exercise capacity and physical activity levels of adult survivors of childhood ALL and their associations with ...

Impact of Calcium and Potassium Currents on Spiral Wave Dynamics in the LR1 Model

Entropy
Spiral wave dynamics in cardiac tissue are critically implicated in the pathogenesis of arrhythmias. This study investigates the effects of modulating calcium and potassium currents on spiral wave stability in a two-dimensional cardiac model.

Spiking Pattern of the Mouse Developing Inner Hair Cells Is Mostly Invariant Along the Tonotopic Axis

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
During development, the sensory cells of the cochlea, the inner hair cells (IHCs), fire spontaneous calcium action potentials. This activity at the pre-hearing stage allows the IHCs to autonomously excite the auditory nerve fibers and hence, represents ...

“We Cannot Talk as a Family”: Complexities of Survivorship Communication Among Hispanic/Latino Young Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer, Parents, and Clinicians

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Young adult childhood cancer survivors (YA‐CCS) have an increased risk of treatment‐related health complications throughout their lives. Lifelong survivorship care is recommended, yet many YA‐CCS experience disruptions in care during pediatric‐to‐adult transitions and do not receive recommended survivorship care.

Identifying Patterns of Hospitalizations Among Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Population‐Based Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) experience more hospitalizations than the general population. We aimed to identify distinct hospitalization patterns among Queensland CCSs and the associated characteristics. Methods Cases (aged ≤14 years) diagnosed between 1995 and 2019 while residents of Queensland were identified through the ...

Exercise promotes motor functional recovery in rats with corticospinal tract injury: anti-apoptosis mechanism

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Studies have shown that exercise interventions can improve functional recovery after spinal cord injury, but the mechanism of action remains unclear. To investigate the mechanism, we established a unilateral corticospinal tract injury model in rats by ...

Classical Complement Pathway Inhibition in a Pediatric Patient With Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric refractory immune thrombocytopenia (rITP) is generally characterized by persistent thrombocytopenia and failure to achieve a sustained response to multiple standard therapies. We report a 4‐year‐old female with congenital tufting enteropathy, post‐intestinal transplant patient on immunosuppressants, who developed severe rITP ...

Microfluidic Neurons, a New Way in Neuromorphic Engineering?

Micromachines, 2016
This article describes a new way to explore neuromorphic engineering, the biomimetic artificial neuron using microfluidic techniques. This new device could replace silicon neurons and solve the issues of biocompatibility and power consumption.
