The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is considered a hub of reward processing and a growing body of evidence has suggested its crucial role in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, inconsistent results have been reported by studies on reward network-focused resting-state functional...

Decidual macrophages (dM) infiltration and residence are critically important for pregnancy's success, playing key roles in angiogenesis, placental growth, and immune tolerance. In addition, the first trimester's maternal-fetal interface now acknowledges hypoxia as a major biological development. ...

(a) Describe the two main divisions of the peripheral nervous system. (b) Describe their roles in the body. What role does the midbrain play in the CNS? Explain how the nervous system and muscular system rely on each other to make our body work?
In other plants, specific triggers affect nucleation and ‘swelling’ (polymerization) of insoluble aggregates, such as protein disulfide bond formation49,50, shifts in calcium and pH43, or unfolded protein response-related signal cascades51. MLP/PR10 proteins could form biomolecular condensates, ...
The skeleton's more obvious roles include structural support, locomotion and protecting the internal organs. Under the radar, the bones produce various types of blood cells and store minerals, particularly calcium, that can be liberated and used elsewhere in the body. ...
Phylum Mollusca is a group of invertebrate animals whose members can be found both in water and on land. The word Mollusca comes from the Latin term mollis, which means "soft." Because mollusks are soft-bodied animals, most have hard shells made of calcium carbonate to protect their bodies ...

Numerous 5-HT receptors expressed on astrocytes are G-coupled proteins that are associated with changes in the concentration of free cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i). These changes may trigger the release of a variety of astrocyte-derived signaling modulators, which may control neuronal activity.57 In...
