    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A (2013) PMID 23650382

    We show that a nectar-feeding bat, Glossophaga soricina, uses dynamic erectile papillae to collect nectar. In G. soricina, the tip of the tongue is covered with long filamentous papillae and resembles a brush or mop. During nectar feeding, blood vessels within the tongue tip become engorged with blo...

    J Neurochem (2013) PMID 23647458

    In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that the basolateral membrane of choroid plexus cells, which is in contact with blood vessels, is involved in the uptake of the reduced form of vitamin C, ascorbic acid, through the sodium-vitamin C cotransporter, SVCT2. Moreover, very low levels...
