Stargazer, an ataxic and epileptic mutant mouse, lacks functional AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate)
receptors on cerebellar granule cells. Stargazin, the …

Excitatory synapses in the brain exhibit a remarkable degree of functional plasticity, which
largely reflects changes in the number of synaptic α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-…

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes a respiratory disease
called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the spread of which has led to a pandemic. …

▪ Abstract It is widely but incorrectly believed that the t-test and linear regression are valid
only for Normally distributed outcomes. The t-test and linear regression compare the mean of …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of irrelevant location information on
performance of visual choice-reaction tasks. We review empirical findings and theoretical …

Cellular uptake of nanoparticles for stem cell labeling/tracking is considered as the most
promising method. Recently mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are emerging as an idea …

Lymphangiogenesis, an important initial step in tumor metastasis and transplant sensitization,
is mediated by the action of VEGF-C and -D on VEGFR3. In contrast, VEGF-A binds …

Background Obesity is associated with vitamin D deficiency, and both are areas of active
public health concern. We explored the causality and direction of the relationship between …

We introduce a new index to measure substitution saturation in a set of aligned nucleotide
sequences. The index is based on the notion of entropy in information theory. We derive the …

Available methods for differentiating human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced
pluripotent cells (iPSCs) into neurons are often cumbersome, slow, and variable. Alternatively, …
