Epidermal Collagen Reduction Drives Selective Aspects of Aging in Sensory Neurons
Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2025.Reduced collagen on the epidermal apical surface drives selective aging in sensory neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans, leading to excessive dendritic branching and related functional deficits. An immunoglobulin superfamily protein in interneurons acts upstream of collagen genes to maintain dendritic homeostasis during aging, with a downstream ...

Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into spiral ganglion neurons by defined transcription factors
Cell Proliferation, Volume 58, Issue 4, April 2025.A combination of Ascl1, Pou4f1 and Myt1l was identified to promote functional reprogramming of cochlear spiral ganglion neurons based on biochemical, electrophysiological and single‐cell transcriptomic analyses. Abstract Degeneration of the cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) is one of the major causes of sensorineural hearing loss and ...

Studies on Toxin-Producing Ability and Gene Map of Tetrodotoxin- Producing Bacteria
, 2010 [[abstract]]Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is one of the best known marine toxins, because of it’s an extremely potent, low-molecular weight, and non-protein neurotoxin. TTX exists with its several analogs.

Presence of a loner strain maintains cooperation and diversity in well-mixed bacterial communities [PDF]
, 2016 Cooperation and diversity abound in nature despite cooperators risking exploitation from defectors and superior competitors displacing weaker ones. Understanding the persistence of cooperation and diversity is therefore a major problem for evolutionary ...

Quorum sensing : understanding the role of bacteria in meat spoilage [PDF]
, 2010 Quorum sensing is a fundamental process to all of microbiology since it is ubiquitous in the bacterial world, where bacterial cells communicate with each other using low molecular weight signal molecules called autoinducers.
