Human‐operant evaluation of synthesized alternative reinforcement and resurgence

Basic research suggests that differential reinforcement with synthesized alternative reinforcement (i.e., delivery of two or more qualitatively different reinforcers contingent on a single alternative response) increases resurgence during disruptions to the contingency. We evalua...

Off-Target Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) Expression of Cre in the Rhodopsin-iCre75 Mouse Line

Purpose: Cre mouse lines are an important tool to manipulate gene expression in specific cell types and at distinct developmental timepoints. Overlooked and off-target expression of Cre is a common issue with transgenic Cre lines that has confounded the interpretation of many stu...

Dynamic cellular programs of human cardiac allograft rejection revealed by spatial transcriptomics

Abstract Allograft rejection following solid-organ transplantation is a major cause of graft dysfunction and mortality. Current diagnostic approaches rely on histology, which exhibits wide diagnostic variability and lacks clinically relevant molecular phenotyping. Here we leverag...
