Novel Growth Factor for Liver Regeneration
Summary Liver transplantation is the only cure for end-stage liver disease, but donor organ scarcity limits access for millions. Split liver transplantation could help bridge this gap, but the regeneration of partial organs is critical to broadly implementing this approach. Vanderbilt University researchers have identified a growth factor that promotes...

A novel, modular, apparatus to measure rodent spatial and social cognition without the limitations of currently used apparatuses
Overview The ability to understand, create and maintain social relationships is a fundamental part of life. Emerging research shows there is a critical link between the social networks we create and our spatial cognition. For example, social relationships are often described in terms of space, varying from “close” to “distant.”...
