Neuroimaging-driven prediction of brain age, defined as the predicted biological age of a subject using only brain imaging data, is an exciting avenue of research. In this work we seek to build models of brain age based on...
Investigation of human trophoblast invasion in vitro.
Explosive Contagion in Networks.
The spread of social phenomena such as behaviors, ideas or products is an ubiquitous but remarkably complex phenomenon. A successful avenue to study the spread of social phenomena relies on epidemic models by establishing...
Modeling Disease with Human Inducible Pluripotent Stem Cells.
Understanding the physiopathology of disease remains an essential step in developing novel therapeutics. Although animal models have certainly contributed to advancing this enterprise, their limitation in modeling all the...
Drosophila studies support a role for a presynaptic synaptotagmin mutation in a human congenital myasthenic syndrome.

During chemical transmission, the function of synaptic proteins must be coordinated to efficiently release neurotransmitter. Synaptotagmin 2, the Ca2+ sensor for fast, synchronized neurotransmitter release at the human...
How modeling can reconcile apparently discrepant experimental results
Midbrain dopaminergic neurons are endowed with endogenous slow pacemaking properties. In recent years, many different groups have studied the basis for this phenomenon, often with conflicting conclusions. In particular, the role...
BAD modulates counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia and protective glucoprivic feeding.
Hypoglycemia or glucoprivation triggers protective hormonal counterregulatory and feeding responses to aid the restoration of normoglycemia. Increasing evidence suggests pertinent roles for the brain in sensing glucoprivation...
An Engineered Human Adipose/Collagen Model for In Vitro Breast Cancer Cell Migration Studies.
Robert D Hume, Lorraine Berry, Stefanie Reichelt, Michael D'Angelo, Jenny Gomm, Ruth E Cameron, Christine J Watson

Adipocytes are one of the major stromal cell components of the human breast. These cells play a key role in the development of the gland and are implicated in breast tumorigenesis. Frequently, directional stromal collagen I...
Evaluation of human dermal fibroblasts directly reprogrammed to adipocyte-like cells as a metabolic disease model.

May 25, 2018
Adipose tissue is the primary tissue affected in most single gene forms of severe insulin resistance, and growing evidence has implicated it as a site at which many risk alleles for insulin resistance identified in...
Rapid model exploration for complex hierarchical data
We consider situations, which are common in medical statistics, where we have a number of sets of response data, from different individuals, say, potentially under different conditions. A parametric model is defined for each set...

A multistate model for events defined by prolonged observation.
Time-to-event and similar analyses can be problematic if the event of interest is operationally defined by some condition being true for a prolonged period of time. A particular example of this, remission in psoriatic arthritis...
Ultrastructure and optics of the prism-like petal epidermal cells of Eschscholzia californica (California poppy).
Bodo D Wilts, Paula J Rudall, Edwige Moyroud, Tom Gregory, Yu Ogawa, Silvia Vignolini, Ullrich Steiner, Beverley J Glover
Aug 07, 2018
The petals of Eschscholzia californica (California poppy) are robust, pliable and typically coloured intensely orange or yellow owing to the presence of carotenoid pigments; they are also highly reflective at certain angles...
Rho Family GTPases and Rho GEFs in Glucose Homeostasis.

Consanguinity and susceptibility to infectious diseases in humans.
Studies of animal populations suggest that low genetic heterozygosity is an important risk factor for infection by a diverse range of pathogens, but relatively little research has looked to see whether similar patterns exist in...
