Growth and Development

Decades of research have established the essential role of sleep in the long-term consolidation of new memories (i.e., sleep-dependent memory consolidation; see [ 1 – 3 ], showing that new information is more easily retrieved if encoding is …

Tauopathies are a heterogeneous group of neurologic diseases characterized by pathological axodendritic distribution, ectopic expression, and/or phosphorylation and aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein TAU, encoded by the gene MAPT.

Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) models provide unprecedented opportunities to study human neurological disorders by recapitulating human-specific disease mechanisms. In particular, hPSC-based human–animal brain chimeras enable the study of …

Two different systems exist for subclassification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML); the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification and the International Consensus Classification (ICC) of myeloid malignancies. The two systems differ in their …

The SARS-CoV-2 virus that led to COVID-19 is associated with significant and long-lasting neurologic symptoms in many patients, with an increased mortality risk for people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and/or Down syndrome (DS). However, few …

Miscarriage, according to the European Society of Human Reproduction (ESHRE), is defined as the spontaneous demise of pregnancy before 24 weeks of gestation [ 1 ]. Approximately 15–25% of all known pregnancies result in miscarriage, which mainly …

Pediatric arterial ischemic stroke has an annual incidence of 1.72:100,000 [ 1 ]. Though rare, these infarcts can have profound impacts on both the patients and the families responsible for caring for them. Previous research has found that …

The prognostic and predictive role of specific gene mutations in Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM) is well-ascertained whereas the clinical impact of chromosome aberrations is far less known. Recent work has provided initial evidence for an …
