Essential Role of Phox2b-Expressing Ventrolateral Brainstem Neurons in the Chemosensory Control of Inspiration and Expiration

TL;DR: Inspiratory responses evoked by rising levels of CO2 in the breathing air were reduced in anesthetized rats with denervated carotid bodies and conscious rats with peripheral chemoreceptors intact, indicating a crucial dependence of central expiratory drive upon Phox2b-expressing neurons of the ventrolateral brainstem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optoactivation of Locus Ceruleus Neurons Evokes Bidirectional Changes in Thermal Nociception in Rats

TL;DR: The LC is capable of exerting potent, discrete, bidirectional influences on thermal nociception that are produced by specific subpopulations of noradrenergic neurons, which reflects an underlying functional heterogeneity of the influence of the LC on the processing of nocICEptive information.
Journal ArticleDOI

A key role for redox signaling in rapid P2X7 receptor-induced IL-1 beta processing in human monocytes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ATP-induced cellular oxidation is critical for caspase-1 activation and subsequent IL-1β processing and signaling via NADPH oxidase activity is fundamental for the processing of mature IL- 1β induced by P2X7R stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of metastasis revealed by mutational landscapes of chemically induced skin cancers.

TL;DR: Mouse tumors that mimic the genetic heterogeneity of human cancers can aid the understanding of the clonal evolution of metastasis and provide a realistic model for the testing of novel therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Life histories of myeloproliferative neoplasms inferred from phylogenies

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used whole-genome sequencing of 1,013 clonal haematopoietic colonies from 12 patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms.
