Background: The adherens protein VE-cadherin (vascular endothelial cadherin) has diverse roles in organ-specific lymphatic vessels. However, its physiological role cardiac lymphatics and interaction with lymphangiogenic factors not been fully explored. We sought to determine the spatiotemporal functions of mechanistically elucidate how loss influences prolymphangiogenic signaling pathways, such as adrenomedullin VEGF growth factor)-C/VEGFR3 factor receptor 3) signaling. Methods: Cdh5...
Wilbrand and Saenger(1) studied optic chiasms after unilateral enucleation, noting inferonasal crossing fibers curved anteriorly into the contralateral nerve (Wilbrand knee; figure, A). This explains superotemporal visual field defects (junctional scotomas) with lesions at chiasmal junction. However, knee may be an enucleation artifact.(2) The anisotropic light-reflecting properties of myelinated axons permitted imaging normal human chiasms. Thin sections (25 µm) were illuminated digitally...
The vomeronasal system (VNS) is specialized in the detection of salient chemical cues triggering social and neuroendocrine responses. Such responses are not always stereotyped, instead, they vary depending on age, sex reproductive state, yet mechanisms underlying this variability unclear. Here, by analyzing neuronal survival first processing nucleus VNS, namely accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), through multiple bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) birthdating protocols, we show that exposure female mice...
Mitochondrial function is fundamental to organismal performance, health and fitness - especially during energetically challenging events, such as migration. With this investigation, we evaluated mitochondrial sensitivity ecologically relevant stressors. We focused on an iconic migrant, the North American monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), examined effects of two stressors: 7 days food deprivation infection by protozoan parasite Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (known reduce survival flight...
