Dendritic cell progenitors phagocytose particulates, including bacillus calmette-guerin organisms, and sensitize mice to mycobacterial antigens in vivo
Dendritic cells, while effective in sensitizing T cells to several different antigens, show little or no phagocytic activity. To the extent that endocytosis is required for antigen processing and presentation, it is not evident...

Regional optimum frequency analysis of resting-state fMRI data for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers
Gaurav Garg, Girijesh Prasad, Lalit Grag, Makoto Miyakoshi, Toshiharu Nakai, Damien Coyle
Dec 01, 2022
The blood-oxygen label dependent (BOLD) signal obtained from functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) varies significantly among populations. Yet, there is some agreement among researchers over the pace of the blood flow...
Multifaceted Cellular Reprogramming at the Crossroads Between Plant Development and Biotic Interactions.
One of the striking features of multicellular plants is their developmental plasticity in response to environmental change. For example, flowering plants can transform the vegetative meristem into a reproductive meristem for...

Associations of neighborhood built, safety, and social environment with walking to and from school among elementary school-aged children in Chiba, Japan.
User Intent-Based Segmentation Analysis for Internet Access Services
The Internet is available for almost all homes in Japan. During the diffusion stage of Internet access services, it was important to construct a model to evaluate the sensitivity for Internet access service attributes and...

Focused Representation of Successive Task Episodes in Frontal and Parietal Cortex.
Complex cognition is dynamic, with each stage of a task requiring new cognitive processes appropriately linked to stimulus or other content. To investigate control over successive task stages, we recorded neural activity in...
Fan Engagement Behavior
Masayuki Yoshida, Rui Biscaia, Sebastian Uhrich, Brian S. Gordon, Marcel Huettermann, Makoto Nakazawa
Mar 31, 2024
In this research, we conducted two studies to validate a multidimensional scale of fan engagement behavior. In Study 1, we generated survey items through a systematic review of the relevant literature, collected data from fans...

Polycrystalline silicon ion sensitive field effect transistors
We report the operation of polycrystalline silicon ion sensitive field effect transistors. These devices can be fabricated on inexpensive disposable substrates such as glass or plastics and are, therefore, promising candidates...

Integrin signaling downregulates filopodia in muscle-tendon attachment
Benjamin Richier, Yoshiko Inoue, U Dobramysl, Jonathan Friedlander, Nicholas Brown, Jennifer Gallop
Dec 18, 2018
Cells need to sense their environment to ensure accurate targeting to specific destinations. This occurs in developing muscles, which need to attach to tendon cells before muscle contractions can begin. Elongating myotube tips...
Integrated neural dynamics for behavioural decisions and attentional competition in the prefrontal cortex.
Yaara Erez, Mikiko Kadohisa, Philippe Petrov, Natasha Sigala, Mark J Buckley, Makoto Kusunoki, John Duncan
Jul 20, 2022
In the behaving monkey, complex neural dynamics in the prefrontal cortex contribute to context-dependent decisions and attentional competition. We used demixed principal component analysis to track prefrontal activity dynamics...
