Understanding Bile Acid Signaling in Diabetes: From Pathophysiology to Therapeutic Targets.

Diabetes and obesity have reached an epidemic status worldwide. Diabetes increases the risk for cardiovascular disease and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Primary bile acids are synthesized in hepatocytes and are transformed to secondary bile acids…

Defining α-synuclein species responsible for Parkinson's disease phenotypes in mice.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by fibrillar neuronal inclusions composed of aggregatedβ-synuclein (β-syn). These inclusions are associated with behavioral and pathological PD phenotypes. One strategy for…

Differences in kinematic plasticity between freshwater turtle species underlie differences in swimming performance in response to varying flow conditions.

The distribution and performance of aquatic vertebrates can be linked strongly to their ability to perform in variable conditions of flowing water. Performance in these variable conditions can be affected by both morphology and behaviour, and animals…
