Identifying the complex activity relationships present in rich, modern neuroimaging data sets
remains a key challenge for neuroscience. The problem is hard because (a) the underlying …

P2X receptors mediate the effects of ATP in micturition and nociception. During postnatal
maturation, a spinobulbospinal reflex and voluntary voiding replace primitive voiding reflexes. …

The biochemical pathways that lead cells to mitotic catastrophe are not well understood. To
identify these pathways, we have taken an approach of treating cells with a novel genotoxic …

To study the biodistribution of MSCs, we labeled adult murine C57BL/6 MSCs with firefly
luciferase and DsRed2 fluorescent protein using nonviral Sleeping Beauty transposons and …

Avoidance of apoptosis is critical for the development and sustained growth of tumours. The
pro-survival protein myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) is overexpressed in many cancers, but …
