(2016-08-01)Department: NeuroscienceCannabinoid receptors have been examined as potential targets to alleviate the negative consequences of anxiety, trauma-related, and stress-related disorders. However, in preclinical animal studies, synthetic cannabinoids ...
-
(2023-03-29)Department: NeuroscienceThe endocannabinoid (eCB) system, which consists of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) and its endogenous ligand, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), as well as key synthesis and degradation enzymes, can promote bidirectional, ...
-
(2020-02-03)Department: Microbe-Host InteractionsFunctional coupling between the amygdala and the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPRC) has been implicated in the generation of negative affective states under stressful conditions in both humans and rodents; however, the ...
-
(2008-12-30)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyIdentification of multipotent cardiac progenitors has provided fresh insight into the mechanisms of myocardial lineage specification, yet has done little to clarify the origin of the endocardium. Despite its essential role ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2002)This paper examines a model in which growth takes place through investment-specific technological change, which in turn is determined endogenously through research spending. In particular, the role of the degree of ...
-
(2012-10-09)Department: NeuroscienceThe epithalamus of the zebrafish contains the dorsal habenulae (Dh), a bilateral pair of nuclei characterized by significant left-right asymmetries in gene expression, anatomy, and connectivity. A screen for mutations that ...
-
(2019-02-05)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThe need for medical technologies that improve patient access to diagnostic techniques and treat pathological conditions in a minimally invasive approach is capitalized in this dissertation with the development, characterization, ...
-
(2014-07-03)Department: PharmacologyCardiac tissue undergoes renewal with low rates. Although resident stem cell populations have been identified to support cardiomyocyte turnover, the source of the cardiac stem cells and their niche remain elusive. Using ...
-
(2013-12-04)Department: Microbiology and ImmunologyBloodstream spread is an essential step in the pathogenesis of many viruses. However, mechanisms that promote viremia are not well understood. Reoviruses are neurotropic viruses that disseminate systemically through the ...
-
(Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2019-07)Objective- Activation of coagulation FXI (factor XI) by FXIIa (activated factor XII) is a prothrombotic process. The endothelium is known to play an antithrombotic role by limiting thrombin generation and platelet activation. ...
-
(2011-08-08)Department: PharmacologyThe field of research into endothelial progenitor cells is complex and difficult to interpret. There are a number different investigators working on specific subpopulations that are isolated in unique ways using unique ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Medical Center, 2011-08-03)A brief description on what to consider when confronted with a patient with an air leak from the ET tube or a patient that self-extubates.
-
(Current Biology, 2007)Human behavior is not always consistent with standard rational choice predictions. The much-investigated variety of apparent deviations from rational choice predictions provides a promising arena for the merger of economics ...
-
(2023-03-23)Department: GermanStories are powerful. And even among stories, the enduring nature of some artworks is especially potent. Tolkien’s Rings is one example. Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen is another. This dissertation examines three artists ...

-
(2013-07-26)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThe collapse of a spherical cavity in liquid can focus energy in space and time, generating extreme thermodynamic states and emitting light and a strong shock wave. Such events, generally at the micro-scale, are of interest ...
-
(Nature Communications, 2019-09-13)Cell migration during the invasion-metastasis cascade requires cancer cells to navigate a spatially complex microenvironment that presents directional choices to migrating cells. Here, we investigate cellular energetics ...
-
(2014-04-04)Department: Electrical EngineeringEnergy deposition in ionizing radiation events can cause errors in static random access memories (SRAMs). The resulting errors can negatively impact nominal systems operation. These errors, termed single-event upsets (SEUs), ...
