The inferior colliculus (IC) is an important midbrain station of the auditory pathway, as well as an important hub of multisensory integration. The adult mammalian IC can be subdivided into three nuclei, with distinct cyto- and myeloarchitectonical profiles and distinct calcium binding proteins expression patterns. Despite several studies about its structural and functional development, the knowledge about the human fetal IC is rather limited.

Here, we analysed ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation and referral patterns in a cohort of 314 large B-cell lymphoma patients approved for third-line CD19 CAR-T across three large UK CAR-T centres. Patients from deprived areas had a lower infusion rate compared to low deprivation areas (73% vs.

However, little is known about the protein complexes that constitute these synapses. In the present study, we applied different BioID strategies to screen the interactomes of Connexin 36 the major neuronal connexin and its zebrafish orthologue Cx35b in retinal neurons.

Exploration of its use in procedures has grown, and it has shown promise in its ability to achieve hemostasis with low risk to patients. Analysis of its use in Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is warranted due to its potential superiority to traditional methods of achieving hemostasis (direct pressure, electrocoagulation, and sutures).
