Microglia are embryonically seeded macrophages that contribute to brain development,
homeostasis, and pathologies. It is thus essential to decipher how microglial properties are …

Dysfunction of microglia, the tissue macrophages of the brain, has been associated with the
etiology of several neuropsychiatric disorders. Consistently, microglia have been shown to …

A systematic search in the available scaffolds of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus genome

… The total testosterone level was significantly lower in TTW than in TNTW (p < 0.001), although
the oestradiol level was not significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.892). No …

FGF and Wnt pathways constitute two fundamental signaling cascades, which appear to
crosstalk in cooperative or antagonistic fashions in several developmental processes. In …

Tyrosinases, widely distributed among animals, plants and fungi, are involved in the
biosynthesis of melanin, a pigment that has been exploited, in the course of evolution, to serve …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional brain variability has been scarcely investigated
in cognitively healthy elderly subjects, and it is currently debated whether previous findings …
