  • For this research, scientists developed novel cellular models of the inner ear and used hard-to-obtain adult human inner ear tissue. (healthline.com)
  • Until pretty recently, few scientists, especially in cutting-edge fields like neuroscience, were curious about the inner happenings of the two billion or so human moms patrolling the planet today. (smithsonianmag.com)
  • However, she cautions that measuring reactivity to mouse brain tissue also has drawbacks, because of the action of chemicals used in preparing the brain tissue for analysis. (spectrumnews.org)
  • In this study, we show that contactin associates with Na v 1.3 in P0 brain tissue and interacts with both the N and C termini of Na v 1.3. (jneurosci.org)
  • We may soon be able to grow unlimited numbers of perfectly healthy, fertilizable human eggs in the laboratory. (discovermagazine.com)
  • We currently use laboratory mouse to help us understand the biology of heart formation. (stanford.edu)
  • Using data from the Respiratory Syncytial Virus-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network, a population-based hospitalization surveillance system operating in 12 states, this analysis examined characteristics (including age, underlying medical conditions, and clinical outcomes) of 3,218 adults aged ≥60 years who were hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed RSV infection during July 2022-June 2023. (cdc.gov)
  • Nuclear positioning, germinal vesicle breakdown, spindle migration, spindle rotation, chromosome segregation, and polar body extrusion are the most critical cellular processes during oocyte meiosis I and II, and a growing number of studies primarily using the mouse oocyte model revealed that actin filaments were critical for these processes, especially for spindle migration.

  • We have more recently acquired the expertise to execute multi-omic technologies based on single cell microfluidic tools developed from 10x Genomics including single nuclear ATAC-seq with RNA-seq, single cell TCR sequencing with feature barcoding of surface protein (i.e. (stanford.edu)
  • Numerous studies have shown significant effects of bile salts and other components of gastroesophageal reflux on cellular physiology, including the activation of protein kinase C and nuclear transcription factors [ 7 ]. (jcancer.org)
  • Our DISC1 mouse model is a valuable system to study GEI relevant to mental illnesses. (researchgate.net)
  • Next, the effects of SIRT6 pharmacological modulation were evaluated in a DMBA-TPA-induced skin cancer mouse model. (bvsalud.org)
  • Epithelial tissue from both the rat BE model and human BE patients strongly expressed KLF5, CDX2, MUC2, and villin. (jcancer.org)
  • The model enabled calculation of human equivalent con- centrations (HECs) to the animal no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAELs) using chemical-specific parameters to determine the internal dose instead of default assumptions. (cdc.gov)
  • Data demonstrated that humans are less sensitive to the effect that causes developmental toxicity in rabbits and the PBPK model incorporated this information, resulting in a higher HEC for the developmental endpoint than for the nasal endpoint. (cdc.gov)
  • Some examples include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle, scrapie in sheep and goats, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans, and chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids. (cdc.gov)
  • Progranulin mutations cause some forms of frontotemporal dementia, but exactly what the protein does and how it fails in disease are open questions. (alzforum.org)
  • In the recent years, a new ultrasound technology, called ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was optimized to evaluate animal models of human disease. (hindawi.com)
  • In May 2023, two RSV vaccines were approved for prevention of RSV lower respiratory tract disease in adults aged ≥60 years. (cdc.gov)
  • Among a random sample of 1,634 older adult patients with RSV-associated hospitalization, 54.1% were aged ≥75 years, and the most common underlying medical conditions were obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and diabetes. (cdc.gov)
  • These data highlight the importance of prioritizing those at highest risk for severe RSV disease and suggest that clinicians and patients consider age (particularly age ≥75 years), long-term care facility residence, and underlying medical conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure, in shared clinical decision-making when offering RSV vaccine to adults aged ≥60 years. (cdc.gov)
  • Adults aged ≥65 years remain at elevated risk for severe COVID-19 disease and have higher COVID-19-associated hospitalization rates compared with those in younger age groups. (cdc.gov)
