(2017-09-14)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyIn normal epithelial wound repair, cells across an epithelial sheet begin a coordinated process of re-epithelialization within minutes of wounding. These coordinated behaviors are driven by a calcium wave, a rise in ...
-
(2014-03-28)Department: Cancer BiologyThe adult mammalian brain hosts two regions of quiescent neural stem cells that continually generate new neurons throughout life. One of these regions, the subventricular zone (SVZ), primarily produces immature neuroblasts ...
-
(2017-03-29)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyType 2 diabetes is characterized by failure of pancreatic β-cells to secrete adequate insulin to meet the needs of the body. This β-cell failure is thought to be caused by increased metabolic load due to mounting insulin ...
-
(2017-02-28)Department: Microbiology and ImmunologyCatheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) account for ~30% of hospital-acquired infections. Biofilm formation, a process where bacteria assume a temporary multicellular lifestyle, serves as a reservoir for ...
-
(2022-11-03)Department: Human GeneticsDivergent regulation of gene expression is a major driver of species divergence, however, the relationship between gene regulatory sequence evolution and its functional effects on gene expression are poorly understood. ...
-
(2017-08-02)Department: PharmacologyAntibiotic resistance in bacteria is increasing globally. Urinary tract infections, which account for the majority of antibiotic prescriptions, are primarily caused by uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). The latest report by the ...
-
(2015-03-25)Department: NeuroscienceApproximately 25% of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) possess elevated whole blood serotonin (5-HT) levels, termed hyperserotonemia. However, the connection between this biomarker and the pathophysiology of ...
-
(2014-11-06)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyThe TGF-â ligand Nodal is a key regulator of body axis formation and patterning in the developing vertebrate embryo. How the Nodal signaling pathway is activated and regulated, and how precise spatiotemporal control of ...
-
(2018-09-18)Department: NeuroscienceStress contributes to numerous psychiatric disorders. CRF signaling in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) drives negative affective behaviors, thus agents that decrease activity of these cells may be of therapeutic ...
-
(International Journal Of Environmental Research And Public Health, 2022-12-12)In the National Cooperative Extension System (herein: Extension), state-level specialists serve as key intermediaries between research, educators, and the community members they serve. There is a need to understand information ...
-
(2017)This is the data that accompanies the paper titled, "Dissipation of stop-and-go waves via control of autonomous vehicles: experimental results" and includes all the data and code to generate all the figures that appeared ...
-
(2006-04-12)Department: PsychologyThe oculomotor readiness premotor theory of attention states that shifting visual attention corresponds to preparing a saccade. Contributing to both saccade production and the allocation of visual attention, the frontal ...
-
(2011-07-20)Department: Earth and Environmental SciencesThe brittlestar, Ophionotus victoriae, is the third most abundant epifaunal animal in Explorers Cove (EC; mouth of Taylor Valley). However its ossicles, composed of high-Mg calcite, rarely occur in either short cores of ...
-
(ACS Omega, 2019-04)(1R,10bR)-1'-((R) - 1,2- Dihydroxyethyl) -1-hydrox-8,9-dmiethoxy1,5,6,10b-tetrahydropyrrolo [2,1-a]-isoquinolin-3(2H)-one, an analogue of (-)-crispine A, with three stereogenic centers is synthesized and its absolute ...
-
(2011-08-17)Department: Microbiology and ImmunologyIn metazoans, developmentally regulated genes depend upon cis-regulatory elements for cell-type specific and heritable transcription. By employing a BAC transgenic system, I demonstrate the function of the noncoding region ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2019-03-15)Gestalt principles of grouping have been widely studied in diagrammatic reasoning because diagrams that follow these principles are easier to understand than those that are not (Lemon et al 2007, Stieff 2007, Novick and ...
-
(2014-04-29)Department: Biomedical EngineeringBackscattering Interferometry (BSI) has been used to detect bio-molecular interactions by measuring shifts in the bulk refractive index of a sample due to conformational changes of the interacting species. BSI has the ...
-
(2006-07-24)Department: Electrical EngineeringIn this dissertation, distributed control with sensor networks is used to suppress beam vibrations. The distributed active vibration control strategy has the advantages of being scalable and fault-tolerant for use in ...
