According to Descartes, minds and bodies are distinct kinds of “substance”, and they cannot
have causal interactions. However, in neuroscience, the two-way interaction between the …

Tendon is a specific connective tissue composed of parallel collagen fibers. The effect of this
tissue-specific matrix orientation on stem cell differentiation has not been investigated. This …

… Ji Hu, Minmin Luo, Cheng Zhan, Jun Liao, Yan Zou, Pengyu Huang, and Winnie Shum for
reagent share; Junjie Luo, Rongfeng Hu, and Yi Li for help with statistics; and “Shen Xian Hui” …

Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and their differentiated progenies are an attractive cell
source for transplantation therapy and tissue engineering. Nevertheless, the utility of these …

Many animals, including the fruit fly, are sensitive to small differences in ambient temperature.
The ability of Drosophila larvae to choose their ideal temperature (18C) over other …

In multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) networks, the optimal bit rate of a user is highly dynamic and
changes from one packet to the next. This breaks traditional bit rate adaptation algorithms, …

All animals possess a plethora of innate behaviors that do not require extensive learning
and are fundamental for their survival and propagation. With the advent of newly-developed …

The neural substrates for predatory hunting, an evolutionarily conserved appetitive behavior,
remain largely undefined. Photoactivation of zona incerta (ZI) GABAergic neurons strongly …

Predatory hunting plays a fundamental role in animal survival. Little is known about the
neural circuits that convert sensory cues into neural signals to drive this behavior. Here we …

Elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of osteogenesis of human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC)
is important for the development of cell therapies for bone loss and regeneration. …
