The Politics of Sustainability in Higher Education: Aligning Athletics Policies and the University Mission
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-04)There is a need for more effective policies for environmental sustainability within campus communities, including their athletic departments. This study, conducted to assess both athletic department sustainability initiatives ... -
“Their Packaging Has Always Been Like a Power”: A Qualitative Study of U.S. Smokers’ Perceptions of Cigarette Pack Visual Design Features to Inform Product Regulation
(2017-10-17)Cigarette packaging matters to consumer behavior. However, it is less clear which changes to packaging design would be salient for adult smokers. Such information is critically important to regulators in the United States ... -
Theoretical aspects and modelling of cellular decision making, cell killing and information-processing in photodynamic therapy of cancer
(2013-09-03)Background: The aim of this report is to provide a mathematical model of the mechanism for making binary fate decisions about cell death or survival, during and after Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) treatment, and to supply the ... -
Therapeutic targeting of CK2 in acute and chronic leukemias
(2018-01)Phosphorylation can regulate almost every property of a protein and is involved in all fundamental cellular processes. Thus, proper regulation of phosphorylation events is critical to the homeostatic functions of cell ... -
Therapeutic Targeting of mTOR in T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: An Update
(2018-06-26)T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive blood malignancy that arises from the clonal expansion of transformed T-cell precursors. Although T-ALL prognosis has significantly improved due to the development ... -
Time course metabolome of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass confirms correlation between leptin, body weight and the microbiome
(2018-05-31)Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective way to lose weight and reverse type 2 dia- betes. We profiled the metabolome of 18 obese patients (nine euglycemic and nine diabet- ics) that underwent RYGB surgery and seven ... -
Time course of altered sensitivity to inhibitory and excitatory agonist responses in the longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus and analgesia in the guinea pig after chronic morphine treatment
(2012-01-10)Tolerance that develops after chronic morphine exposure has been proposed to be an adaptive response that develops and decays over a defined time course. The present study examined the development of tolerance to the acute ... -
Timing of Esophagectomy after Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation Therapy Affects the Incidence of Anastomotic Leaks
(2019-02-05)Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) has become the standard of care for esophageal cancer patients prior to esophagectomy. However, the optimal timing for surgery after completion of nCRT remains ... -
Tissue stiffness at the human maternal–fetal interface
(2019-10-03)STUDY QUESTION: What is the stiffness (elastic modulus) of human nonpregnant secretory phase endometrium, first trimester decidua, and placenta? SUMMARY ANSWER: The stiffness of decidua basalis, the site of placental ... -
TLR5 participates in the TLR4 receptor complex and promotes MyD88- dependent signaling in environmental lung injury
(2020-01-28)Lung disease causes significant morbidity and mortality, and is exacerbated by environmental injury, for example through lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or ozone (O3). Toll-like receptors (TLRs) orchestrate immune responses to ... -
TNM cancer staging: can it help develop a novel staging system for type 2 diabetes?
(2018-11-28)Type 2 diabetes (DM2) constitutes 90%–95% of the diabetes cases and is increasing at an alarming rate in the world. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 29 million people in the ... -
