(2016-04-06)
Most smokers become addicted to tobacco products before they are legally able to pur- chase these products. We systematically reviewed the literature on protocols to assess underage purchase and their ecological validity. ...
“Moving Toward Healthy”: Insights Into Food Choices of Mothers in Residential Recovery
(2016-11)
This study utilized participatory and potentially empowering qualitative research methods of photo-elicitation and face- to-face interviews to investigate food choices of mothers living with their children in a residential ...
Assessment of Occupational Noise Exposure among Groundskeepers in North Carolina Public Universities
(2016-05-12)
Groundskeepers may have increased risk to noise-induced hearing loss due to the performance of excessively noisy tasks. This study assessed the exposure of groundskeepers to noise in multiple universities and determined ...
A Micro-Thermal Sensor for Focal Therapy Applications
(2016-02-26)
There is an urgent need for sensors deployed during focal therapies to inform treatment planning and in vivo monitoring in thin tissues. Specifically, the measurement of thermal properties, cooling surface contact, tissue ...
A systematic mRNA control mechanism for germline stem cell homeostasis and cell fate specification
(2016-02)
Germline stem cells (GSCs) are the best understood adult stem cell types in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, and have provided an important model system for studying stem cells and their cell fate in vivo, in mammals. ...
A simple and rapid method for combining fluorescent in situ RNA hybridization (FISH) and immunofluorescence in the C. elegans germline
(2016-05-06)
Imaging of RNAs and proteins in specific tissues has opened ample avenues to understand gene expression during development. Recently, a fluorescent in situ RNA hybridization (FISH) method has been developed to analyze the ...
Calpain inhibition rescues troponin T3 fragmentation, increases Cav1.1, and enhances skeletal muscle force in aging sedentary mice
(2016-02-19)
Loss of strength in human and animal models of aging can be partially attributed to a well-recognized decrease in muscle mass; however, starting at middle-age, the normalized force (force/ muscle cross-sectional area) in ...
Coastal barrier stratigraphy for Holocene high-resolution sea-level reconstruction
(2016-12-08)
The uncertainties surrounding present and future sea-level rise have revived the debate around sea-level changes through the deglaciation and mid- to late Holocene, from which arises a need for high-quality reconstructions ...
CCL2-CCR2 axis promotes metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by activating ERK1/2-MMP2/9 pathway
(2016-03-29)
Distant metastasis remains the major failure of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In this study, the roles of chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2), and its receptor chemokine C-C motif receptor type 2 (CCR2) on NPC metastasis ...
