摘要:Multiple sclerosis (MS) progresses through brain region-specific inflammation and degeneration, with poorly defined mechanisms. In individuals with MS, we identified increased expression of formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) in central nervous system (CNS)-resident microglia and CNS-infiltrating macrophages. Blood amounts of N-formylated peptides, which are endogenous agonists of FPR1, correlated with disease progression in patients with MS. In MS mouse models, signaling through FPR1 promoted mi...

摘要:Mechanical forces are extensively involved in pregnancy and parturition, but their precise roles and mechanisms remain poorly understood. We identified mechanically activated ion channels PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 as key mechanotransducers required for labor progression. Genetic deletion of Piezo1 and Piezo2 in mice resulted in weakened uterine contractions and severe parturition defects. Tissue-specific knockouts revealed that deletion in either uterus or sensory neurons alone caused modest defects w...

摘要:The selective revision of beliefs in light of new evidence has been considered one of the hallmarks of human-level rationality. However, tests of this ability in other species are lacking. We examined whether and how chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) update their initial belief about the location of a reward in response to conflicting evidence. Chimpanzees responded to counterevidence in ways predicted by a formal model of rational belief revision: They remained committed to their initial belief w...
