During nervous system development, diverse types of neurons and glia are sequentially generated by self-renewing neural stem cells (NSCs). Temporal changes in gene expression within NSCs are thought to regulate neural diversity; however, the mechanisms regulating the timing of these temporal gene transitions remain poorly understood. type II NSCs, like human outer radial glia, divide to self-renew and generate intermediate neural progenitors, amplifying and diversifying the population of neurons innervating the central complex, a brain region required for sensorimotor coordination.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFIn modern ICs, sub-threshold voltage management plays a significant role due to its perspective on energy efficiency and speed performance. Level shifters (LSs) play a critical role in signal exchange among multiple voltage domains by ensuring signal integrity and the reliable operation of ICs. In this article, a Pass-Transistor-Enabled Split Input Voltage Level Shifter (PVLS) is designed for area, delay, and power-efficient applications with a wide voltage conversion range.

However, there is a dearth of literature on rectal cancer surgery. Hence, we aimed to assess the risk factors associated with delayed readmissions following rectal cancer surgery to improve targeted interventions, patient outcomes, and quality indices.

Objective: To better understand the presentation and clinical needs of the under-characterized extreme end of the congenital titinopathy severity spectrum.
Methods: We comprehensively analyzed the clinical, imaging, pathology, autopsy, and genetic findings in 15 severely affected individuals from 11 families.
