Aging, defined as the increasing probability of mortality over time due to organismal declines in function, is the leading risk factor for cognitive decline and associated dementias. In adults 45 years of age and older in the United States (U.S.), subjective cognitive decline is…
In recent years, infant pain research has revealed strong evidence that pain history impacts sensory processing in adulthood. It has become clear that (1) somatosensory processing in the neonatal CNS differs substantially from that in adults both in terms of structure and functi…
Phagocytosis is the engulfment of particulate matter by cells. It is a fundamental (and probably "primitive") cell biological process which is important in single celled organisms such as amoeba; multicellular animals including coelenterates; and in higher animals. In humans and…

A relatively large genome, predicted to encode more than 4200 bacterial factors functions to allow Mycobacterium tuberculosis to survive and grow within a variety of different environments encountered during the progressive course of human infection. Among the different environm…
