Cell Cycle-Dependent Differentiation Dynamics Balances Growth and Endocrine Differentiation in the Pancreas

Anne Grapin-Botton, Laurence Anne E Lemaire, Yung Hae Kim

Organogenesis relies on the spatiotemporal balancing of differentiation and proliferation driven by an expanding pool of progenitor cells. In the mouse pancreas, lineage tracing at the population level has shown that the expanding pancreas progenitors can ...

The effects of ageing on visual spatiotemporal processing

Michael Herzog

In a previous study, we showed that visual spatiotemporal processing deteriorates with healthy ageing (Roinishvili et al, 2011, Vision Research, 51(4):417-23). Here, we used backward masking to investigate the underlying mechanisms. First, thirty-three old ...
