Preoptic neurotensinergic neurons co-release GABA and neurotensin, triggering a rapid initial inhibition followed by a sustained excitation, and mice lacking GABA release from these neurons exhibit ...

A biophysical approach sheds light on the electron transport physics and electric metabolism of centimeter-long filamentous freshwater cable bacteria.

The chemokine CCL28 is highly expressed in mucosal tissues, but its role during infection is not well understood. Here we show that CCL28 promotes neutrophil accumulation in the gut of mice infected ...

Slow and fast movements are controlled by distinct sets of spinal V2a neurons with matching properties and connections.

Zebrafish (AB strain) were raised at 28 °C in a ZebTEC system. The photoperiod was 14 h of light and 10 h of darkness. Zebrafish were fed with artemia twice a day. The experiments in this study were ...

Niches are often found in specific positions in tissues relative to the stem cells they support. Consistency of niche position suggests that placement is important for niche function. However, the ...

Schistosoma mansoni is a parasitic flatworm that causes the major neglected tropical disease schistosomiasis. The miracidium is the first larval stage of the life cycle. It swims and infects a ...
