“Viable but nonculturable” states of bacteria pose challenges for environmental and clinical
microbiology, but their biological mechanisms remain obscure. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (…

There is growing evidence that genetic diversity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis , the
causative agent of tuberculosis, contributes to the outcomes of infection and public health …

The fabrication of microfluidic devices is an important process for researchers in the biomedical
engineering field. These devices must exhibit high levels of reproducibility and precision …

In recent years, several lines of evidence have shown an increase in Parkinson's disease (PD)
prevalence in rural environments where pesticides are widely used. Paraquat (PQ—…

Objective Huntington disease (HD) is caused by a genetically encoded pathological protein
(mutant huntingtin [mHtt]), which is thought to exert its effects in a cell‐autonomous manner. …

We investigated the dopaminergic (DA) neuronal degeneration in animals subjected to
systemic treatment of rotenone via subcutaneous delivery. Behavioral observations revealed a …

The SIMBIO-SYS (Spectrometer and Imaging for MPO BepiColombo Integrated Observatory
SYStem) is a complex instrument suite part of the scientific payload of the Mercury Planetary …

The production of extracellular vesicles (EV) is a ubiquitous feature of eukaryotic cells but
pathological events can affect their formation and constituents. We sought to characterize the …

Chronic pain is a major comorbidity of chronic inflammatory diseases. Here, we report that
the cytokine IL-1β, which is abundantly produced during multiple sclerosis (MS), arthritis (RA), …

The LIM-homeodomain transcription factors Lmx1a and Lmx1b play critical roles during the
development of midbrain dopaminergic progenitors, but their functions in the adult brain …
