Functional analysis of human hematopoietic stem cell gene expression using zebrafish. by Craig E Eckfeldt, Eric M Mendenhall, Catherine M Flynn, Tzu-Fei Wang, Michael A Pickart, Suzanne M Grindle, Stephen C Ekker, Catherine M Verfaillie

“…Further characterization of the spry4-deficient zebrafish embryos demonstrated that hematopoietic defects were not due to more widespread defects in the mesodermal development, and therefore represented primary defects in HSC specification, proliferation, and/or differentiation. Overall, this high-throughput screen for the functional validation of differentially expressed genes using a zebrafish model of hematopoiesis represents a major step toward obtaining meaningful information from global gene profiling of HSCs.…”

Tau follows principal axes of functional and structural brain organization in Alzheimer’s disease by Julie Ottoy, Min Su Kang, Jazlynn Xiu Min Tan, Lyndon Boone, Reinder Vos de Wael, Bo-yong Park, Gleb Bezgin, Firoza Z. Lussier, Tharick A. Pascoal, Nesrine Rahmouni, Jenna Stevenson, Jaime Fernandez Arias, Joseph Therriault, Seok-Jun Hong, Bojana Stefanovic, JoAnne McLaurin, Jean-Paul Soucy, Serge Gauthier, Boris C. Bernhardt, Sandra E. Black, Pedro Rosa-Neto, Maged Goubran

“…Notably, less distinct connectivity patterns (“gradient contraction”) are associated with cognitive decline in regions with greater tau, suggesting an interaction between reduced network differentiation and tau on cognition. Furthermore, by modeling tau in subject-specific gradient space, we demonstrate that tau accumulation in the frontoparietal and temporo-occipital cortices is associated with greater baseline tau within their functionally and structurally connected hubs, respectively. …”
