Modality-specific neurovascular coupling via layer-segregated arteriole networks | Science
The brain’s vascular system dynamically regulates energy supply through neurovascular coupling. In this study, we show that in mice, neurovascular coupling is modality-dependent: Distinct sensory inputs recruit specific arteriole types, producing ...
RAD51 stabilizes neutrophil extracellular traps to compartmentalize inflammation | Science
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) feature a branched chromatin architecture whose origin and function remain unknown. We found that NET branching is mediated by RAD51, a protein generating DNA junctions during DNA recombination repair. ...
