Adjusting Group Intercept and Slope Bias in Predictive Equations

Methods to assess measurement invariance in constructs have received much attention, as invariance is critical for accurate USB Extension group comparisons.Less attention has been given to the identification and correction of the sources of non-invariance in predictive equations.This work developed correction factors for structural intercept and sl

Vegfc Regulates Bipotential Precursor Division and Prox1 Expression to Promote Lymphatic Identity in Zebrafish

Lymphatic vessels arise chiefly from preexisting embryonic veins.Genetic regulators of lymphatic fate are known, but how dynamic cellular changes contribute during the acquisition of lymphatic identity is not understood.We report the visualization of zebrafish lymphatic precursor cell dynamics during fate restriction.In the cardinal vein, Ribbed Tu
