Damage-responsive neuro-glial clusters coordinate the recruitment of dormant neural stem cells in Drosophila
(Elsevier, 2022-07)
[EN] Recruitment of stem cells is crucial for tissue repair. Although stem cell niches can provide important signals, little is known about mechanisms that coordinate the engagement of disseminated stem cells across an ...
The Influence of Oxytocin and Prolactin During a First Episode of Psychosis: The Implication of Sex Differences, Clinical Features, and Cognitive Performance
(Oxford University Press, 2022-08)
Background Approximately 3% of the population suffers a first episode of psychosis (FEP), and a high percentage of these patients subsequently relapse. Because the clinical course following a FEP is hard to predict, it is ...

Polygenic contribution to the relationship of loneliness and social isolation with schizophrenia
(Nature Research, 2022-01-10)
