A developmental brain-wide screen identifies retrosplenial cortex as a key player in the emergence of persistent memory.

Memories formed early in life are short-lived while those formed later persist. Recent work revealed that infant memories are stored in a latent state. But why they fail to be retrieved is poorly understood.

Tolerogenic Lipid Nanoparticles for Delivering Self-Antigen mRNA for the Treatment of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease caused by autoantigen-responsive immune cells that disrupt the myelin in the central nervous system (CNS). Although immunosuppressive drugs are used to suppress symptoms, no definitive therapy exists. As in the experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis, a partial sequence of the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) was identified as a causative autoantigen.

Logistics and distribution of small extracellular vesicles from the subcutaneous space to the lymphatic system.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are small, cell-derived particles with sizes of approximately 100 nm. Since these particles include cargos such as host cell-derived proteins, messenger RNAs, and micro RNAs, they serve as mediators of cell-cell communication. While the analysis of the pharmacokinetic of sEVs after the intravenous injection have been reported, the lymphatic transport of sEVs remains unclear.

Inter-rater reliability of the Oral Assessment Guide for oral cancer patients between nurses and dental hygienists: the difficulties in objectively assessing oral health.

Purpose: Perioperative oral care is effective for the prevention and reduction of complications following surgery. However, oral cancer patients' oral health is often poor. During hospitalization, oral cancer patients frequently receive oral care from ward nurses as well as professional oral care from dental hygienists.
