Search for the end of a path in the d-dimensional grid and in other graphs [PDF]
, 2015 We consider the worst-case query complexity of some variants of certain \cl{PPAD}-complete search problems. Suppose we are given a graph $G$ and a vertex $s \in V(G)$.

Functional maturation of isolated neural progenitor cells from the adult rat hippocampus [PDF]
, 2004 Although neural progenitor cells (NPCs) may provide a source of new neurons to alleviate neural trauma, little is known about their electrical properties as they differentiate.

Acute radiation impacts contractility of guinea-pig bladder strips affecting mucosal-detrusor interactions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Radiation-induced bladder toxicity is associated with radiation therapy for pelvic malignancies, arising from unavoidable irradiation of neighbouring normal bladder tissue.

TRPV3 in keratinocytes transmits temperature information to sensory neurons via ATP [PDF]
, 2009 Transient receptor potential V3 (TRPV3) and TRPV4 are heat-activated cation channels expressed in keratinocytes. It has been proposed that heat-activation of TRPV3 and/or TRPV4 in the skin may release diffusible molecules which would then activate ...

NPY mediates ATP-induced neuroproliferation in adult mouse olfactory epithelium
Neurobiology of Disease, 2010 In the CNS, ATP is released upon injury and promotes neuroproliferation via purinergic receptors. In the olfactory epithelium, ATP promotes the synthesis and release of neurotrophic factor NPY in neonates and induces neuroproliferation in neonatal and ...

Anti-Hu antibodies activate enteric and sensory neurons. [PDF]
, 2016 IgG of type 1 anti-neuronal nuclear antibody (ANNA-1, anti-Hu) specificity is a serological marker of paraneoplastic neurological autoimmunity (including enteric/autonomic) usually related to small-cell lung carcinoma. We show here that IgG isolated from

PPAD-Complete Pure Approximate Nash Equilibria in Lipschitz Games
, 2022 Lipschitz games, in which there is a limit $λ$ (the Lipschitz value of the game) on how much a player's payoffs may change when some other player deviates, were introduced about 10 years ago by Azrieli and Shmaya. They showed via the probabilistic method that $n$-player Lipschitz games with $m$ strategies per player have pure $ε$-approximate Nash ...

A novel bioassay to detect Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ release from single human polymorphonuclear cells.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is the endogenous opioid agonist for the N/OFQ receptor or NOP. This receptor system is involved in pain processing but also has a role in immune regulation.
