- Description:
- Therapeutic mechanisms of human neural stem cells (hNSCs) were studied in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model (5XFAD). hNSCs restored spatial memory abilities in 5XFAD animals; however, amyloid beta levels were unchanged. Spatial transcriptomics was used to probe mechanisms of hNSCs. Focusing on a subset of plaque-induced genes, gene normalization was seen particularly in microglia, confirmed by PROGENy and Cell Chat analyses. and The spatial transcriptomics data from this publication have been deposited in NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (16) and are accessible through GEO Series accession number GSE209583 ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE209583 and enter token gzglogqkvjqrhmt). Additional supporting data are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.

- Description:
- This is a process evaluation of the RCT, Group Antenatal Care and Delivery project (GRAND) to identify and document patient, provider, and system barriers and facilitators to program implementation. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, potential and actual influences on the quality and conduct of the program's operations, implementation, and service delivery were identified. Only the seven (7) sites randomized to the Group ANC (G-ANC) intervention were included for collection of process evaluation data since the evaluation was of G-ANC implementation. Data were collected from August 2019 to November 2020 and included both quantitative and qualitative data sources.

Differential gene expression between Ctrl and HFD PN male gonadal white adipose tissue (GWAT) from postnatal day 16. The significant gene expression differences were determined by the DESeq2 package for R Studio. Sequencing The RNA was extracted from adipose tissue using Trizol LS (Life Technologies) by Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit (74106) according to the manual. The RNA was sent to the University of Michigan Advanced Genomics Core for RNA-sequencing. For RNAseq studies, gonadal white adipose tissue 3’ QuantSeq single-end poly-A mRNA libraries were generated (Lexogen). These were sequenced to a depth of 10-20M reads on Illumina NovaSeq platform. Data are available from GEO at accession number GSE227337., and Supplementary Table 2. Differentially expressed genes between Ctrl and HFD PN male gonadal white adipose tissue (GWAT) from postnatal day 16 that are significant after correction for false discovery rate were determined by the DESeq2 package for R Studio.

- Description:
- This is data from Wallace, Benyamini et al., 2023, Journal of Neural Engineering. There are two sets of data included: 1. Neural features and error labels used to train error classifiers for each day used in the study 2. Trial data from an example experiment day (Monkey N, Day 6), with runs for offline calibration, online brain control, error monitoring, and error correction.

- Description:
- Healthy full-term infants were enrolled in a longitudinal study designed to examine the development of infant eating behavior. Infant weight and length was measured, mothers completed questionnaires regarding infant eating behaviors, and infants were weighed and length measured at ages 1, 2, 4, 6 and 10 months. Trajectories of eating behaviors were identified using latent class growth modeling and bivariate analyses examined associations of infant eating behavior trajectory membership with infant and maternal characteristics. Cross-lagged analyses examined associations between BEBQ subscales and infant weight-for-length z-score.

- Description:
- Healthy full-term infants were enrolled in a longitudinal study designed to examine the development of infant eating behavior. Infant weight and length was measured, mothers completed questionnaires regarding infant eating behaviors, and infant capacity for regulation of energy intake was evaluated by comparing intake between two days: one with feedings given on demand and one with feedings offered hourly. The infant's ability to downregulate intake in response to more frequent feedings was calculated.

- Description:
- The primary goal of this project was to identify domains of infant eating behavior and their trajectories over the first year of life. A convenience sample of 284 mother-infant dyads was recruited and enrolled from communities within a 1-hour driving distance of Ann Arbor, Michigan, via social media; flyers in outpatient pediatric clinics and community settings; and targeted outreach by telephone, email, and mail to pregnant women and mothers of newborn infants receiving care within the University of Michigan health system between October 2015 and February 2019. The planned sample size was based on a priori power calculations anticipating 3-5 eating behavior factors, each with 3 different trajectories, providing 81% power to detect a 10% or more change in the likelihood of exhibiting one of an anticipated 3 trajectory patterns of infant growth; the ultimate sample size of 284 was based on feasibility related to recruitment and retention. , The study included a repeated-measures, within-participant experimental design embedded within a longitudinal observational cohort study. The goal was to examine the development of infant eating behavior longitudinally at ages 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 months based on data collected from questionnaires, eating behavior experiments, and anthropometry via home visits by trained research staff. The study was described to participants as seeking to understand infant eating behavior and interactions between mothers and babies in the first year after birth. Inclusion criteria were gestational age of 37.0 to 42.0 weeks, weight appropriate for gestational age, no significant perinatal or neonatal complications, biological mother was the legal and custodial guardian, and infant’s having had consumed 2 oz or more in 1 feeding from an artificial nipple at least once per week. Exclusion criteria were mother not fluent in English; mother younger than 18 years; infant medical problems or diagnosis affecting current or future eating, growth, or development; or child protective services involvement. Mothers provided written informed consent for themselves and their infants. The study was approved by the University of Michigan institutional review board. To facilitate recruitment, dyads could be enrolled at 1 of 3 age points up to and including age 4 months; data collected at enrollment are referred to as baseline. , and Mothers responded to questionnaires on demographics, psychosocial stress, perinatal history, feeding behaviors and practices, sleep, their own eating behaviors, infant temperament, their own and the infant’s diet, and infant eating behaviors. Maternal and infant anthropometry was measured by trained research assistants. Mother-infant dyads participated in protocols designed to measure infant response to sucrose, infant ability to delay gratification, infant response to a challenging feeding, the relative reinforcing value of food, eating in the absence of hunger, capacity for regulation of energy intake in response to more frequent feedings and in response to increased caloric density, and response to novel and familiar foods. Maternal feeding behaviors were also coded from video. Biological samples included infant stool and maternal breastmilk.
