The impact of the osmotic component of the incubation medium for the volume of mouse early embryonic cell was studied by laser scanning microscopy. Common Dulbecco's medium caused a prolonged hyperosmotic effect. Adaptive phase of regulatory compensation for the osmotic shock was observed under hypotonic conditions. From these data, water permeability of the blastomer membrane is evaluated as 0.4 micro/(minxatm).

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) caused by bacteria or viruses are associated with stroke severity. Recent studies have revealed an imbalance in the von Willebrand factor (VWF)-ADAMTS13 axis in patients with RTIs, including COVID-19. We examined whether this imbalance contributes to RTI-mediated stroke severity.

Purpose: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma that develops sporadically or in Neurofibromatosis type 1 patients. Its development is marked by the inactivation of specific tumor suppressor genes (TSGs): NF1, CDKN2A and SUZ12EED (Polycomb Repressor Complex 2). Each TSG loss can be targeted by particular drug inhibitors and we aimed to systematically combine these inhibitors, guided by TSG inactivation status, to test their precision medicine potential for MPNSTs.

Background: Frequently utilized Alzheimer's disease (AD) preclinical models rely on risk factors expressed in familial AD, which accounts for <1% of the clinical AD population. Apolipoprotein (APOE) ε4 is the strongest genetic risk factor for the development of the more prevalent late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). MRI studies demonstrate a link between APOE-ε4 and reduced gray matter volume as well as lower fractional anisotropy (FA) in AD patients.

Background: Chronic pain leads to tau accumulation and hippocampal atrophy in mice. Tau accumulation in the locus coeruleus (LC) precedes medial temporal accumulation in humans. Here we provide one of the first human studies examining the association of chronic pain with hippocampal volume, LC integrity, and Alzheimer's Disease (AD)-related plasma biomarkers.

Background: Two main risk factors of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are aging and APOE-ε4. However, some individuals remain cognitively normal despite having these risk factors. They are considered "cognitively resilient".
