When are Biomedical Postdocs Ready for the Faculty Job Market? A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Metrics and Resilience Among Faculty Job Seekers

This study analyzes factors influencing biomedical postdocs' readiness for faculty jobs using mixed-methods, finding readiness is multifaceted and influenced by support, strategy, and timing rather than a single metric.

Increased protein expression of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and cystathionine β-synthase in medial prefrontal cortical tissue of female vascular dementia patients

This study examines the impact of vascular dementia on one-carbon metabolism by measuring protein expression in brain tissue, finding gender-specific differences in enzyme levels.

Increased dietary levels of folic acid reduce survival and alters climbing behaviors 24 hours after hypoxia in male and female Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that high dietary folic acid increases hypoxia-induced mortality and reduces climbing behavior in Drosophila melanogaster, without affecting brain apoptosis.

Ischemic stroke increases levels of the folate receptor and one-carbon enzymes in male and female brain tissue

This study examines how ischemic stroke affects levels of folate receptor and one-carbon metabolism enzymes in male and female brain tissue, finding sex-specific increases in these markers.

An updated and expanded characterization of the biological sciences academic job market

The paper analyzes factors influencing faculty job offers in biological sciences using survey data from 449 applicants, finding correlations between application metrics, demographics, and hiring outcomes.

Maternal dietary deficiencies in folic acid and choline change metabolites levels in offspring after ischemic stroke

This study examines how maternal dietary deficiencies in folic acid and choline affect offspring metabolite levels after ischemic stroke, showing sex-specific differences.

Apoptosis is increased in cortical neurons of female Marfan Syndrome mice

This study finds increased apoptosis in cortical neurons of female MFS mice compared to controls, with elevated BDNF levels in both sexes.

Maternal dietary deficiencies in folic acid or choline reduce primary neuron viability after exposure to hypoxia through increased levels of apoptosis

The paper shows that maternal folic acid or choline deficiencies reduce offspring neuronal viability after hypoxia, and supplementation improves viability.

Maternal dietary deficiency in choline reduced levels of MMP-2 levels in blood and brain tissue of male offspring mice

This study shows that maternal dietary deficiency in choline or folic acid reduces MMP-2 levels in blood and brain tissue of male offspring mice after ischemic stroke.

Maternal dietary deficiencies in one-carbon metabolism during early neurodevelopment result in larger damage volume, re-duced neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation and changes in choline metabolites after ischemic stroke in middle-aged offspring

This study examines how maternal dietary deficiencies in one-carbon metabolism affect ischemic stroke outcomes in middle-aged offspring, finding reduced neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation but no impact on motor function.

Maternal dietary deficiencies in folates or choline during pregnancy and lactation worsen stroke outcome in 3-month-old male and female mouse offspring

The impact of maternal dietary folic acid or choline deficiencies on cerebral blood flow, cardiac, aortic, and coronary function in young and middle-aged female mouse offspring following ischemic stroke

This study examines how maternal deficiencies in folic acid or choline affect cerebral and peripheral blood flow in female mouse offspring after ischemic stroke.

A dietary vitamin B12 deficiency impairs motor function and changes neuronal survival and choline metabolism after ischemic stroke to the sensorimotor cortex in middle aged male and female mice

Dietary folic acid deficiency impacts hippocampal morphology and cortical acetylcholine metabolism in adult male and female mice

This study examines the effects of dietary folic acid deficiency on hippocampal morphology and cortical acetylcholine metabolism in male and female mice, finding sex differences in hippocampal apoptosis but not in morphology or acetylcholine levels.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency alters cellular response after ischemic stroke in male mice

This study investigates how MTHFR deficiency in mice affects cellular responses after ischemic stroke, finding increased antioxidant activity and altered MAT2A and HIF-1 levels.
