TVB C++: A Fast and Flexible Back‐End for The Virtual Brain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TVB C++ is a streamlined and fast C++ Back‐End for The Virtual Brain (TVB), designed to make it as flexible as TVB, and FAST. Another pillar is to be fully compatible with TVB so easy bindings can be created from Python. Users can easily configure TVB C++ to execute the same code but with enhanced performance and parallelism.

M2 Macrophages are Major Mediators of Germline Risk of Endometriosis and Explain Pleiotropy With Comorbid Traits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genes associated with endometriosis risk are highly expressed in M2 macrophages, particularly ligands IL1A and IL1B. Endometrial‐type epithelium and stroma are likely recipients of these ligands. While IL1B treatment disturbs epithelial organization, blockage of the signaling results in a dose‐dependent decrease in spontanesous and evoked pain, reduces
