Effect of nuclear electrostatic potential on the nucleoplasmic distribution of histones and nucleosome stability

This study shows that differences in electrostatic potential between heterochromatin and euchromatin affect nucleosome stability and transcription factor access, explaining transcriptional differences.

A bottom-up approach to understanding ultrasound mediated blood-brain barrier opening using long and short pulses

This study compares long and short pulse ultrasound effects on BBB opening, finding long pulses increase drug delivery but cause damage, while short pulses are safer and more uniform.

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound activates excitatory synaptic networks in cultured hippocampal neurons

This study shows that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound enhances excitatory synaptic transmission in high-density hippocampal neuron cultures by increasing EPSC frequency and amplitude.

Ultrasonic Modulation of Astrocytic and Neuronal Calcium Dynamics in Mouse Cortex

This study investigates how low-frequency focused ultrasound affects astrocyte and neuronal calcium dynamics in mouse cortex, finding state-dependent effects with greater astrocytic response in awake mice.
