Understanding the Loss of Maternal Care in Avian Brood Parasites Using Preoptic Area Transcriptome Comparisons in Brood Parasitic and Non-parasitic Blackbirds
(2019-02-13)
Parental care is critical for offspring survival in many species. However, parental behaviors have
been lost in roughly 1% of avian species known as the obligate brood parasites. To shed light on molecular
and neurobiological ...
Tissue stiffness at the human maternal–fetal interface
(2019-10-03)
STUDY QUESTION:
What is the stiffness (elastic modulus) of human nonpregnant secretory phase endometrium, first trimester decidua, and placenta?
SUMMARY ANSWER:
The stiffness of decidua basalis, the site of placental ...
Trends and Costs Associated With Suboptimal Physical Activity Among US Women With Cardiovascular Disease
(2019-04-12)
IMPORTANCE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disability among
women. Achievement of recommended physical activity (PA) levels is an essential component of
CVD management.
OBJECTIVE: To ...
The variability of song variability in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) populations
(2019-05-15)
Birdsong is a classic example of a learned social behaviour. Song behaviour is also influenced by genetic factors, and understanding the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences remains a major goal. ...
Nestin in immature embryonic neurons affects axon growth cone morphology and Semaphorin3a sensitivity
(2019-05-01)
Correct wiring in the neocortex requires that responses to an individual guidance cue vary among neurons in the same location, and within the same neuron over time. Nestin is an atypical intermediate filament expressed ...
Neuroleptanalgesia for acute abdominal pain: a systematic review
(2019-02-26)
Background: Acute abdominal pain (AAP) comprises up to 10% of all emergency department (ED) visits. Current pain management practice is moving toward multi-modal analgesia
regimens that decrease opioid use.

Species-Specific Conservation of Linear Antigenic Sites on Vaccinia Virus A27 Protein Homologs of Orthopoxviruses
(2019-05-29)
The vaccinia virus (VACV) A27 protein and its homologs, which are found in a large number of members of the genus Orthopoxvirus (OPXV), are targets of viral neutralization by host antibodies. We have mapped six binding ...
Structural determination of the complement inhibitory domain of Borrelia burgdorferi BBK32 provides insight into classical pathway complement evasion by Lyme disease spirochetes
(2019-03-21)
The carboxy-terminal domain of the BBK32 protein from Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, termed BBK32-C, binds and inhibits the initiating serine protease of the human classical complement pathway, C1r. In this study we ...
