Drosophila Ctf4 is essential for efficient DNA replication and normal cell cycle progression
(2011-04-06)Proper coordination of the functions at the DNA replication fork is vital to the normal functioning of a cell. Specifically the precise coordination of helicase and polymerase activity is crucial for efficient passage ... -
Drosophila Oocytes as a Model for Understanding Meiosis: An Educational Primer to Accompany “Corolla Is a Novel Protein That Contributes to the Architecture of the Synaptonemal Complex of Drosophila”
(2015-01)Achieving a thorough understanding of the events and ramifications of meiosis is a common learning objective for undergraduate introductory biology, genetics, and cell biology courses. Meiosis is also one of the most ... -
Drug-resistance in doxorubicin-resistant FL5.12 hematopoietic cells: elevated MDR1, drug efflux and side-population positive and decreased BCL2-family member expression
(2017-12-06)Chemotherapeutic drug treatment can result in the emergence of drug-resistant cells. By culturing an interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent cell line, FL5.12 cells in the presence of the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin, we ... -
Dynamic modeling of public and private decision-making for hurricane risk management including insurance, acquisition, and mitigation policy
(2022-06-08)We develop a computational framework for the stochastic and dynamic modeling of regional natural catastrophe losses with an insurance industry to support government decision-making for hurricane risk management. The analysis ... -
Early cell loss associated with mesenchymal stem cell cardiomyoplasty
(2012-03-01)Background: Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) show potential for therapeutic cellular cardiomyoplasty. However, a range of delivery methods, including direct intramyocardial injection, have resulted in poor engraftment ... -
Early Mobility in the Hospital: Lessons Learned from the STRIDE Program
(2018-09-26)Immobility during hospitalization is widely recognized as a contributor to deconditioning, functional loss, and increased need for institutional post-acute care. Several studies have demonstrated that inpatient walking ... -
The EBM-DPSER Conceptual Model: Integrating Ecosystem Services into the DPSIR Framework
(2013-08)There is a pressing need to integrate biophysical and human dimensions science to better inform holistic ecosystem management supporting the transition from single species or single-sector management to multi-sector ... -
Economic Impact of Early‑in‑Hospital Diagnosis and Initiation of Eculizumab in Atypical Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome
(2019-12-12)Background Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening condition caused by dysregulation of the complement pathway. Eculizumab is currently the only approved treatment for this ... -
The economic value of rapid deployment aortic valve replacement via full sternotomy
(2017-04-04)Aim: To compare the economic value of EDWARDS INTUITY EliteTM (EIE) valve system for rapid-deployment aortic valve replacement (RDAVR) in a full sternotomy (FS) approach (EIE-FS-RDAVR) versus FS-AVR using conventional ... -
