The meninges — the dura, arachnoid, and pia mater, and the subarachnoid space— are by now old friends; this diagram is showing us the same structures as this one from the previous post, just in horizontal section rather than transverse. Bundles of spinal nerve roots come together to form...
Consistent with this hypothesis, Ngn2 enhancer activity is dependent on the function of Pax6, a homeodomain factor involved in specifying the identity of ventral spinal cord progenitors. Moreover, we show that Ngn2 is required for the correct expression of Pax6 and several homeodomain proteins ...
39, follows a different, randomized path towards an alignment that uncovers close to the maximum amount of common topology that can be discovered between two networks40. Since each path to a near-optimal alignment is different, each run of SANA produces a different alignment-but all alignments h...
Astrocytes, which play an active role in chronic inflammatory diseases like multiple sclerosis, exist close to mast cells with which they share perivascular localization. We previously demonstrated the possibility that astrocytes and mast cells interact
