Inclusive fitness and sexual conflict: how population structure can modulate the battle of the sexes

T Pizzari, JM Biernaskie, P Carazo - BioEssays, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Competition over reproductive opportunities among members of one sex often harms the
opposite sex, creating a conflict of interest between individual males and females. Recently, …

A dermal niche for multipotent adult skin-derived precursor cells

…, M Akhavan, F Barnabé-Heider, J Biernaskie… - Nature cell …, 2004 - nature.com
A fundamental question in stem cell research is whether cultured multipotent adult stem cells
represent endogenous multipotent precursor cells. Here we address this question, focusing …

Efficacy of rehabilitative experience declines with time after focal ischemic brain injury

J Biernaskie, G Chernenko, D Corbett - Journal of Neuroscience, 2004 - Soc Neuroscience
To maximize the effectiveness of rehabilitative therapies after stroke, it is critical to determine
when the brain is most responsive (ie, plastic) to sensorimotor experience after injury and to …

Enriched rehabilitative training promotes improved forelimb motor function and enhanced dendritic growth after focal ischemic injury

J Biernaskie, D Corbett - Journal of Neuroscience, 2001 - Soc Neuroscience
Chronic impairment of forelimb and digit movement is a common problem after stroke that is
resistant to therapy. Previous studies have demonstrated that enrichment improves …
