Populus tremuloides seedling establishment: An underexplored vector for forest type conversion after multiple disturbances [PDF]
, 2017 Ecosystem resilience to climate change is contingent on post-disturbance plant regeneration. Sparse gymnosperm regeneration has been documented in subalpine forests following recent wildfires and compounded disturbances, both of which are increasing.

The DREADDful Hurdles and Opportunities of the Chronic Chemogenetic Toolbox
Cells, 2022 The chronic character of chemogenetics has been put forward as one of the assets of the technique, particularly in comparison to optogenetics. Yet, the vast majority of chemogenetic studies have focused on acute applications, while repeated, long-term ...

The Application of Brain Organoids in Assessing Neural Toxicity
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 The human brain is a complicated and precisely organized organ. Exogenous chemicals, such as pollutants, drugs, and industrial chemicals, may affect the biological processes of the brain or its function and eventually lead to neurological diseases ...

Stem and progenitor cells: Origins, phenotypes, lineage commitments, and transdifferentiations [PDF]
, 2001 Multipotent stem cells are clonal cells that self-renew as well as differentiate to regenerate adult tissues. Whereas stem cells and their fates are known by unique genetic marker studies, the fate and function of these cells are best studied by their ...

Neural dependency in wound healing and regeneration
Developmental Dynamics, 2023 AbstractIn response to injury, humans and many other mammals form a fibrous scar that lacks the structure and function of the original tissue, whereas other vertebrate species can spontaneously regenerate damaged tissues and structures. Peripheral nerves have been identified as essential mediators of wound healing and regeneration in both mammalian and
