Electrophysiological recordings from freely behaving animals are a widespread and powerful mode of investigation in sleep research. These generate large amounts data that require stage annotation (polysomnography), which the is parcellated according to three vigilance states: awake, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, non-REM (NREM) sleep. Manual current computational methods ignore intermediate states because classification features become ambiguous, even though contain important information...
Abstract The tumor microenvironment (TME) is multi-cellular, spatially heterogenous, and contains cell-generated gradients of soluble molecules. Current cell-based model systems lack this complexity or are difficult to interrogate microscopically. We present a 2D live-cell chamber that approximates the TME demonstrate breast cancer cells macrophages generate hypoxic nutrient gradients, self-organize, have varying phenotypes along leading new insights into tumorigenesis.

Abstract Torpor is a regulated reversible state of metabolic suppression used by many mammalian species to conserve energy. Although torpor has been studied extensively in terms general physiology, metabolism and neuroendocrinology, the effects hypometabolism associated hypothermia on brain activity states vigilance have received little attention. Here we performed continuous monitoring electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG) peripheral body temperature adult, male C57BL/6 mice over...
