The bones of the mammalian skull respond plastically to changes in masticatory function. However, the extent to which muscle function affects the growth and development of the skull, whose regions have different maturity patterns, remains unclear. Using muscle dissection and 3D landmark-based geometric morphometrics we investigated the effect of changes in muscle function established either before or after weaning, on skull shape and muscle mass in adult mice.

Article Synopsis
  • Sepsis negatively affects capillary function and oxygen delivery, potentially worsening patient outcomes.
  • Lower levels of immunoglobulin G2 do not contribute to severe flu complications, suggesting other factors may play a role in flu severity.
  • New research indicates that intravenous immunoglobulin may provide brain protection during sepsis by blocking harmful immune responses such as complement activation and apoptosis. *
