Physiologic regulation of heart rate and blood pressure involves connexin 36-containing gap junctions [PDF]
Chronically elevated sympathetic nervous activity underlies many cardiovascular diseases. Elucidating the mechanisms contributing to sympathetic nervous system output may reveal new avenues of treatment.

Inhibition of p53 and ATRX increases telomeric recombination in primary fibroblasts. [PDF]
Telomere length in immortal cells can be maintained by telomerase or by alternative lengthening of telomeres (the latter being based on telomeric recombination). In normal fibroblasts, both mechanisms are inactive. Inhibition of p53 in fibroblasts increases telomeric recombination in damaged telomeres.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide regulates ileal goblet cell production in mice. [PDF]
A close relationship between neuronal fibers and enteric goblet cells was demonstrated, with more neuronal fibers being in close proximity to goblet cells in vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptor antagonized ileum slices. Further, antagonizing VIP receptors ex vivo was shown to regulate goblet cell production in the ileal crypt.

Bladder cancer prospective cohort study on high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer after photodynamic diagnosis-assisted transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (BRIGHT study). [PDF]
Objectives Transurethral resection of bladder tumor with photodynamic diagnosis has been reported to result in lower residual tumor and intravesical recurrence rates in non‐muscle invasive bladder cancer. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of photodynamic diagnosis‐transurethral resection of bladder tumor combined with oral 5‐aminolevulinic acid ...

Nanothermometry‐Enabled Intelligent Laser Tissue Soldering
Laser tissue soldering offers a promising route to seamless soft tissue fusion. However, poor temperature control currently prevents clinical exploitation. Intelligent solders containing fluorescent nanothermometers and thermoplasmonics offer a new route to high‐performance tissue sealing.

Local targets of T‐stellate cells in the ventral cochlear nucleus
In addition to their auditory nerve inputs, we show that T‐stellate cells within a given isofrequency lamina provide a second modulatable monosynaptic excitatory input to other T‐stellate cells as well as to inhibitory L‐ and D‐stellate cells. This circuit may play a significant role in acoustic information processing.

Contemporary techniques in human otopathology and promise for the future
Abstract Contemporary histopathology of the ear is based on an evolution of equipment and histological techniques over the last 500 years, including the invention of the light microscope and protocols for fixation, embedment, sectioning, and staining of tissue samples, and visual documentation of findings.

Single frame resection of compact digital cameras for UAV imagery
Recently, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) gain a wider acceptance from many disciplines. One major application is for monitoring and mapping. Flying beyond eye sight autonomously and collecting data over large areas are their obvious advantages. To support a large scale urban city mapping, we have developed a UAV system which can carry a compact ...

On the local stability of semidefinite relaxations
We consider a parametric family of quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQP) and their associated semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations. Given a nominal value of the parameter at which the SDP relaxation is exact, we study conditions (and ...

In-loop Feature Tracking for Structure and Motion with Out-of-core Optimization [PDF]
In this paper, a novel and approach for obtaining 3D models from video sequences captured with hand-held cameras is addressed. We define a pipeline that robustly deals with different types of sequences and acquiring devices.
