AGE-RELATED DIFFERENCES WITH IMMERSIVE AND NON-IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY IN MEMORY ASSESSMENT


A novel CRISPR/Cas9-based iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) knockout human neuronal cell line reveals earliest pathological changes

Abstract Multiple complex intracellular cascades contributing to Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II) pathogenesis have been recognized and documented in the past years.However, the hierarchy of early cellular abnormalities leading to irreversible neuronal damage is far from being completely understood.To tackle this issue, we have gener

The PDAC Extracellular Matrix: A Review of the ECM Protein Composition, Tumor Cell Interaction, and Therapeutic Strategies

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is notorious for a dense fibrotic stroma that is interlaced with a collagen-based extracellular matrix (ECM) that plays an important role in tumor biology.Traditionally thought to only provide a physical barrier from host responses and systemic chemotherapy, new studies have demonstrated that the ECM maintain

Bigger Is Fitter? Quantitative Genetic Decomposition of Selection Reveals an Adaptive Evolutionary Decline of Body Mass in a Wild Rodent Population.

In natural populations, quantitative trait dynamics often do not appear to follow evolutionary predictions.Despite abundant examples of natural selection acting on heritable traits, conclusive evidence for contemporary adaptive evolution remains rare for wild vertebrate populations, and phenotypic Brushes stasis seems to be the norm.This so-called
