Brain penetration of peripheral extracellular vesicles from Alzheimer's patients and induction of microglia activation by Hermine Counil, Rummenigge Oliveira Silva, Jean‐Michel Rabanel, Charlotte Zaouter, Mohamed Haddad, Mohamed Raâfet Ben Khedher, Davide Brambilla, Tamas Fülöp, Shunmoogum A. Patten, Charles Ramassamy

“…We demonstrated that pEVs traverse the BBB by transcytosis and subsequently diffuse progressively into the brain. pEVs were then internalized by neuronal and radial glial cells as seen in Tg(huc:EGFP) and Tg(gfap:EGFP) zebrafish, respectively. Additional experiments were performed with the intrahippocampal injection of pEVs in the mouse, indicating their spreading throughout the brain and their uptake by neuronal and glial cells. …”

A comparative machine learning study of schizophrenia biomarkers derived from functional connectivity by Victoria Shevchenko, R. Austin Benn, Robert Scholz, Wei Wei, Carla Pallavicini, Ulysse Klatzmann, Francesco Alberti, Theodore D. Satterthwaite, Demian Wassermann, Pierre-Louis Bazin, Daniel S. Margulies

“…Our findings indicate that functional connectivity outperforms its low-dimensional derivatives such as cortical gradients and gradient dispersion in identifying schizophrenia (Mann–Whitney test conducted on test accuracy: connectivity vs. 1st gradient: U = 142, p < 0.003; connectivity vs. neighborhood dispersion: U = 141, p = 0.004). Additionally, we demonstrated that the edges which contribute the most to classification performance are the ones connecting primary sensory regions. …”

Unburned habitat essential for amphibian breeding persistence following wildfire by Larissa L. Bailey, Richard Henderson, Wendy A. Estes-Zumpf, Charles C. Rhoades, Ellie Miller, Dominique Lujan, Erin Muths

“…Importantly, we found that remotely sensed data typically produced to predict flooding and erosion at broad (catchment) scales is a poor representation of the amount and variation in soil burn severity surrounding small habitat features, suggesting that additional field sampling is necessary to understand wildfire responses for species that rely on these small habitat features. …”
