Targeting Specific HATs for Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment: Translating Basic Biology to Therapeutic Possibilities
Dynamic epigenetic regulation of neurons is emerging as a fundamental mechanism by which neurons adapt their transcriptional responses to specific developmental and environmental cues.While defects within the neural epigenome have traditionally been studied in the context of early developmental and heritable cognitive disorders, recent studies poin
The impact of adolescent pertussis immunization, 2004-2009: lessons from Australia

How to cross the sea: testing the dispersal mechanisms of the cosmopolitan earthworm Pontodrilus litoralis
Dispersal capability often decides the geographical distribution and long-term success of a species.In this investigation, Pontodrilus litoralis, a widely distributed species along shores throughout mid- and low latitudes of the world, was investigated.We tested three hypotheses explaining its dispersal: helped by humans, transported by birds and c
