Linoleic acid supplementation of cell culture media influences the phospholipid and lipid profiles of human reconstructed adipose tissue.

Reconstructed human adipose tissues represent novel tools available to perform in vitro pharmaco-toxicological studies.We used adipose-derived human stromal/stem cells to reconstruct, using tissue engineering techniques, such an adipose tridimensional model.To determine to what extent the in vitro model is representative of its native counterpart,

Kinesthetic imagery of musical performance

Musicians use different kinds of imagery.This review focuses on kinesthetic imagery, which has been shown to be an effective complement to actively playing an instrument.However, experience in actual movement performance seems to be a requirement for a recruitment of those brain areas representing movement ideation during imagery.An internal model

The Alternative Splicing Regulator Tra2b Is Required for Somitogenesis and Regulates Splicing of an Inhibitory Wnt11b Isoform

Alternative splicing is pervasive in vertebrates, yet little is known about most isoforms or their regulation.transformer-2b essie gel couture inside scoop (tra2b) encodes a splicing regulator whose endogenous function is poorly understood.Tra2b knockdown in Xenopus results in embryos with multiple defects, including defective somitogenesis.Using R
