These findings represent an important advance for studies on brain injuries like stroke and for the ex vivo generation of specific neurons and oligodendrocytes for neurodegenerative diseases.
Multi-electrode, high-resolution (HR) mapping has become a key advance for studying gastrointestinal (GI) slow wave behaviors.
The recent development of phylogenetic birth-death models represents an important advance for studying the evolution of gene families and other census-type characters on a genome scale.
" …the thing in the blood that makes us different from one another and can identify people from the same family (Lay translation of genes during community engagement)" Identifying research populations for community engagement in advance for studies recruiting patients on admission to hospital can be challenging because of the size of the catchment areas for such facilities.
This paper provides two methodological advances for studying internal health care environments: a strategy to capture salient aspects of the physical environment and a suite of approaches to visualize and analyze that physical environment.
The improved ability to study the evolution of clinical strains will be an important advance for the study of pathogens as they spread.
Other reports describe an important technical advance for the study of individual symbionts in complex ecosystems and the engineering of a new small molecule, inspired by the genetic diversity of symbiotic cyanobacteria that live in a marine invertebrate.
Given that modeling susceptibility/hazard and risk maps is a computationally time-consuming activity, a large number of institutional and noninstitutional maps are prepared and stored in advance for each study area, each of which is synthesized by thematic, modeling, geographic, and temporal metadata.
While these studies represent major advances for the study of Alzheimer's disease in small animals, to date these technologies have not been applied to larger animal models of this disease, nor has direct β-amyloid plaque visualization been possible using clinical-grade MR scanners, which is an important goal for future clinical translation.
In addition, given the importance of olfactory information in animal communication, advancing methodologies for studying olfaction in concert with the other signal channels will be helpful.
