This paper introduces a method to chronically image blood microcirculation using liver-secreted fluorescent proteins, enabling long-term observation of vascular functions in mice.

This study shows that Mis6/CENP-I prevents loss of CENP-A nucleosomes at centromeres during mitosis by blocking non-coding transcription.

This study identifies novel GPR85 inverse-agonists with IC50 values around 1 µM and shows they modulate potassium channel opening in cerebellar Purkinje cells.

Passive head motion reduces blood pressure in hypertensive rats and humans by decreasing AT1R expression in RVLM astrocytes through interstitial fluid shear stress.
