Published: June 2005

Bulk loading of calcium indicators has provided a unique opportunity to reconstruct the activity of cortical networks with single-cell resolution. Here we describe the detailed methods of bulk loading of AM dyes we developed and have been improving for imaging with a spinning disk confocal microscope.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a significant global health challenge. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze GC epidemiology and risk factors to inform prevention and intervention strategies. We analyzed the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 data, conducted 16 different machine learning (ML) models of NHANES data, performed Mendelian randomization (MR) studies on disease phenotypes, dietary preferences, microbiome, blood-based markers, and integrated differential gene expression and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data from multiple cohorts to identify factors associated with GC risk.
