Summary: Endotoxin accumulation has been widely noted in several pathologies ranging from metabolic dysregulation to bacterial infection. Using limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assays to detect endotoxin load has been the only reliable way to assess en

The discordance between genome size and the complexity of eukaryotes can partly be attributed to differences in repeat density. The Muller F element (∼5.2 Mb) is the smallest chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster, but it is substantially larger (>1

A better understanding of processes controlling the development and function of pancreatic islets is critical for diabetes prevention and treatment. Here, we reveal a previously unappreciated function for pancreatic β2-adrenergic receptors (Adrb2) i

SUMMARYThere is a strong male bias in the prevalence of many neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder. However, the mechanisms underlying this sex bias remain elusive. Infection during the perinatal period is associated with an i

Microglia and sexual differentiation of the developing brain: A focus on ontogeny and intrinsic factors

Sexual differentiation of the brain during early development likely underlies the strong sex biases prevalent in many neurological conditions. Mounting evidence indicates that microglia, the innate immune cells of the central nervous system, are intr
