Synapse elimination and learning rules co-regulated by MHC class I H2-Db. [PDF]

, 2014
The formation of precise connections between retina and lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) involves the activity-dependent elimination of some synapses, with strengthening and retention of others. Here we show that the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)

Roles of TGFβ and FGF signals during growth and differentiation of mouse lens epithelial cell in vitro. [PDF]

, 2017
Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling pathways play important roles in the proliferation and differentiation of lens epithelial cells (LECs) during development.

Comparative immune responses against Psoroptes ovis in two cattle breeds with different susceptibility to mange [PDF]

, 2015
The sheep scab mite, Psoroptes ovis, is a major problem in the beef cattle industry, especially in Belgian Blue (BB) cattle. This breed is naturally more predisposed to psoroptic mange but reasons for this high susceptibility remain unknown.

Inflammatory Responses and Barrier Function of Endothelial Cells Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]

, 2018
Several studies have reported endothelial cell (EC) derivation from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). However, few have explored their functional properties in depth with respect to line-to-line and batch-to-batch variability and how they ...

Functional compressive mechanics and tissue biocompatibility of an injectable SF/PU hydrogel for nucleus pulposus replacement

Scientific Reports, 2017
In spinal degenerative disease, an injectable liquid hydrogel can fill in defect entirely, lessen the danger of implant relocation and following loss of disc height, minimizing the operative trauma. Here, we propose an injectable in-situ chemically cross-

Replacing highly degradable starch with soluble fiber reduces the accumulation of trans-10 C18:1 in continuous culture fermenters with a basal level of soybean oil

Frontiers in Animal Science
Evaluation of the starch degradability (ShD) and the starch level in a ration is necessary for determining how a ration will affect performance in lactating dairy cows. Ingredients high in starch with high rates of degradability can lead to a decrease in

C-elegans model identifies genetic modifiers of alpha-synuclein inclusion formation during aging [PDF]

, 2008
Inclusions in the brain containing alpha-synuclein are the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, but how these inclusions are formed and how this links to disease is poorly understood.
