Here we show that mouse hippocampal synapses employ this principle to trigger Ca2+-dependent vesicle release and post-tetanic potentiation (PTP). We assess energy barrier changes by fitting release kinetics…[Read more]

With respect to the osmotic control of opuB and opuC expression, we found that this environmental cue operates independently of the OpcR and GbsR regulators. When assessed over a wide range of salinities, opuB and opuC exhibit a surprisingly different transcriptional…[Read more]

[…] https://www.catswannabecats.com/activity/p/21069/ Fri, 06 Jun 2025 12:38:33 -0400 S.This paper studies the SEIRD epidemic model for COVID-19. First, I show that the model is poorly identified from the observed number of deaths and confirmed cases. There are many sets of parameters that are observationally equivalent in the short run but lead to markedly different long run forecasts. Second, I show that the basic reproduction…[Read more]

This study demonstrates that ACE2 gene expression is higher in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue than that in lung tissue, a major target tissue affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. This suggests a mechanism by which excess…[Read more]

Immune-related adverse events induced by Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab, should be recognized-cessation of treatment often leads to resolution.We report the case…[Read more]
