Vascular Endothelial Cells: Heterogeneity and Targeting Approaches
Forming the inner layer of the vascular system, endothelial cells (ECs) facilitate a multitude of crucial physiological processes throughout the body. Vascular ECs enable the vessel wall passage of nutrients and diffusion of oxygen from the blood into ...

Modularity map of the network of human cell differentiation [PDF]
Cell differentiation in multicellular organisms is a complex process whose mechanism can be understood by a reductionist approach, in which the individual processes that control the generation of different cell types are identified.

Hippocampal Global Remapping Can Occur without Input from the Medial Entorhinal Cortex. [PDF]
The high storage capacity of the episodic memory system relies on distinct representations for events that are separated in time and space. The spatial component of these computations includes the formation of independent maps by hippocampal place cells ...

AMPKα2 is a skeletal muscle stem cell intrinsic regulator of myonuclear accretion
Summary: Due to the post-mitotic nature of skeletal muscle fibers, adult muscle maintenance relies on dedicated muscle stem cells (MuSCs). In most physiological contexts, MuSCs support myofiber homeostasis by contributing to myonuclear accretion, which ...

PReS-FINAL-1007: Regulatory T cells functional specialization in JIA [PDF]
Regulatory T cells (Treg) are important players in keeping the immune system in balance. In juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints, this balance is disturbed. Recently, different functional subsets of regulatory T cells (Treg) have been described in mice and human that mirror the T

Multiple Functions of Malpighian Tubules in Insects: A Review
The Malpighian Tubules (MTs) are the main excretory organs in most insects. They play a key role in the production of primary urine and osmoregulation, selectively reabsorbing water, ions, and solutes.
