Delayed imitation of lipsmacking gestures by infant rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). by Annika Paukner, Pier F Ferrari, Stephen J Suomi

“…Human infants are capable of accurately matching facial gestures of an experimenter within a few hours after birth, a phenomenon called neonatal imitation. Recent studies have suggested that rather than being a simple reflexive-like behavior, infants exert active control over imitative responses and 'provoke' previously imitated gestures even after a delay of up to 24 h. …”

Nur77 deficiency in mice accelerates tumor invasion and metastasis by facilitating TNFα secretion and lowering CSF-1R expression. by Xiu-Ming Li, Jing-Ru Wang, Tong Shen, Shang-Shang Gao, Xiao-Shun He, Jiang-Nan Li, Tian-Yu Yang, Shen Zhang, Wen-Juan Gan, Jian-Ming Li, Hua Wu

“…Additionally, compared to the conditioned media derived from Nur77+/+ peritoneal macrophages (CM1), the conditioned media derived from Nur77-/- peritoneal macrophages (CM2) significantly promoted the EMT of cancer cells, and greatly enhanced the migratory and invasive abilities of cancer cells. Moreover, studies using TNF-α blocking antibody demonstrated that pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α was indispensable in supporting CM2-induced EMT to drive cancer cells migration and invasion. …”
