Intestinal helminths remain one of the most pervasive parasites of the animal kingdom by stimulating host defense pathways that prioritize tissue adaptation over parasite expulsion....
The spinal cord is the major link between the brain and the body. It receives cues from the cortex, the brainstem, and other sources, and transforms these diverse inputs into behavior....
Cells are truly the ultimate “smart-material” fine-tuning their mechanical properties to match the mechanical demands of their environments./physiologyCategory: Dept. of Physiology
