Cerebral sulci and fissures

Cerebral sulci and fissures are grooves between the adjacent gyri on the surface of the cerebral hemispheres. By allowing the cortex to invaginate to form sulci and gyri the surface area of the cortex is The result is that the surface area of the human cortex is 2,200 cm2, only a third of which can be seen on the surface 4.

Gyri and sulci vary slightly in their dimensions and morphology between individuals or even between hemispheres. Some may not be present in a number of individuals and others deep enough to produce elevations on the surface of the ventricles (e.g. collateral sulcus, calcarine sulcus/calcar avis) 4. However, these variations are generally of no functional significance. In contrast, disorders of cortical formation can be associated with numerous and significant neurological symptoms and deficits.

Aluminum cans are a viable alternative to bottles for red muscadine wine, new study finds

One of the main reasons wine traditionally comes in bottles is to protect its quality. Glass is nonreactive, and the cork or screw cap provides an airtight seal that prevents oxygen from spoiling the liquid. In recent years, a new rival has appeared on the scene—aluminum cans. But there are concerns that the metal may interact with the wine, altering its unique flavor.

However, for red muscadine wine, new research published in ACS Food Science & Technology suggests that cans may be just as effective as glass at keeping the wine fresh.

ID1 boosts antiviral immunity by countering PRMT5-mediated STING methylation

Li et al. report that ID1 sustains STING activation and innate immunity by blocking PRMT5-STING binding, thereby preventing PRMT5-mediated methylation at Arg281 of STING. The PRMT5 inhibitor EPZ015666 enhances STING activation by suppressing PRMT5, providing a therapeutic candidate for antiviral treatment.
