Myofibroblast diversity with injury and aging Fibroblasts deposit extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules to regulate tissue strength function. However, if too much ECM is deposited, fibrosis scarring results. Shook et al. examined cells during mouse skin wound healing, fibrosis, (see the Perspective by Willenborg Eming). They identified distinct subpopulations of myofibroblasts, including as adipocyte precursors (APs). In cellular ablation models, CD301b-expressing macrophages selectively...
Significance Most of the time, visual circuitry in our brains faithfully reports scenes. Sometimes, however, it can report motion images that are fact stationary, leading us to perceive illusory motion. In this study, we establish fruit flies, too, stationary evoke humans. Our results demonstrate how illusion flies is an artifact brain’s strategies for efficiently processing natural Perceptual tests humans suggest may employ similar mechanisms illusion. This study shows illusions provide...
Abstract In functional imaging, large numbers of neurons are measured during sensory stimulation or behavior. This data can be used to map receptive fields that describe neural associations with stimuli The temporal resolution these has traditionally been limited by image acquisition rates. However, even when acquisitions scan slowly across a population neurons, individual may at precisely known times. Here, we apply method leverages the timing measurements find resolutions higher than rate....
