Cerebral angiogenesis is well appreciated in development and after injury, but the extent to which it occurs across cortical regions in normal adult mice and the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Using in vivo imaging, we show that angiogenesis in anterior-medial cortical regions (retrosplenial and sensorimotor cortex) was exceptionally rare. By contrast, angiogenesis was significantly elevated in posterior-lateral regions such as visual cortex, primarily within 200 μm of the cortical surface.

Here we show that capillaries in the diabetic mouse brain in both sexes are prone to stalling, with blocks consisting primarily of erythrocytes in branches off ascending venules. Screening for circulating inflammatory cytokines revealed persistently high levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in diabetic mice.

Despite substantial interest in developing artificial intelligence (AI) applications in NMIBC, their clinical readiness remains unclear. This systematic review aimed to critically appraise AI studies predicting NMIBC outcomes, and to identify common methodological and reporting pitfalls.

Soils were initially classified into series level and further these series were divided into soil-phase units. For two site years , 2018-19 and 2019-20, surface soil samples from each soil-phase unit were collected before sowing of pigeonpea and subsequently crop growth parameters at critical stages were recorded.
