Blood-brain barrier-traversing multivalent TGFβ trap for anti-cancer immunomodulation of gliomas

This paper develops a TGFβ trap that crosses the blood-brain barrier to modulate the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and enhance immunotherapy efficacy in glioma models.

Introductory notes before zebra finch song have unique timing properties while sharing acoustic properties with song

The paper analyzes zebra finch song introductory notes and finds correlations between their acoustic features and song syllables, suggesting shared neural control but distinct timing mechanisms.

Respiratory vocal coordination increases as zebra finches prepare to sing

This study shows that respiratory vocal coordination improves with repeated introductory notes in zebra finches, suggesting these notes reflect motor preparation for song.

Sensory feedback independent pre-song vocalizations correlate with current state of motor preparation

The study shows that introductory notes in zebra finches do not rely on sensory feedback for motor preparation, suggesting they reflect internal neural states.
