Computer Algorithms for Automated Detection and Analysis of Local Ca2+ Releases in Spontaneously Beating Cardiac Pacemaker Cells [PDF]
Local Ca Releases (LCRs) are crucial events involved in cardiac pacemaker cell function. However, specific algorithms for automatic LCR detection and analysis have not been developed in live, spontaneously beating pacemaker cells. Here we measured LCRs using a high-speed 2D-camera in spontaneously contracting sinoatrial (SA) node cells isolated from ...

The novel lysergamide 1‐(furan‐2‐carbonyl)‐LSD (1F‐LSD) was analytically characterized. 1F‐LSD showed LSD‐like activity in vivo similar to 1‐(thiophene‐2‐carbonyl)‐LSD (1T‐LSD) used for comparison. Administration studies in mice and LC–MS analysis revealed that 1F‐LSD served as a prodrug.

Living Labs - An Ethical Challenge for Researchers and Platform Providers [PDF]
The infamous Facebook emotion contagion experiment is one of the most prominent and best-known online experiments based on the concept of what we here call "living labs". In these kinds of experiments, real-world applications such as social web platforms trigger experimental switches inside their system to present experimental changes to their users ...

Analysis pipeline to quantify uterine gland structural variations
Abstract Background Technical advances in whole tissue imaging and clearing have allowed 3D reconstruction of exocrine uterine glands deep‐seated in the endometrium. However, there are limited gland structure analysis platforms to analyze these imaging data sets. Here, we present a pipeline for segmenting and analyzing uterine gland shape.

Scientists and global commentators watched African countries closely in the early months of the COVID‐19 pandemic, predicting an impending disaster: the virus was projected to overwhelm already weak health systems. These expectations were informed by imaginaries of Africa as an inevitable site of epidemic disaster.

Seasonal variation in temperature and food abundance strongly influences life history and behaviour. For animals living in non‐tropical regions, seasonal variation can be reliably predicted by photoperiod and be used for plastic adjustments. Here, we tested if maternal behaviour of the precocial cavy (Cavia aperea) responds to photoperiodic cues and ...

Targeting Connexin 43 in Retinal Astrocytes Promotes Neuronal Survival in Glaucomatous Injury
Astrocytes play an important role in glaucoma. These cells express Cx43, which can form gap junctions and hemichannels. This study shows that Cx43 deletion in astrocytes provides neuroprotection in glaucoma, possibly through hemichannel activation. ABSTRACT Astrocytes in the retina and optic nerve head play an important role in the pathogenesis of ...
