Quantitative analysis and comparison of 3D morphology between viable and apoptotic MCF-7 breast cancer cells and characterization of nuclear fragmentation
(2017-09-08)
Morphological changes in apoptotic cells provide essential markers for defining and detec- tion of apoptosis as a fundamental mechanism of cell death. Among these changes, the nuclear fragmentation and condensation have ...
Relative cost-effectiveness of using a liquid human milk fortifier in preterm infants in the US
(2017-01-04)
Objective: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of using a liquid human milk fortifier (LHMF) compared to a powdered human milk fortifier (PHMF) in preterm infants in the US from the perspective of third-party payers and ...
Range expansion of a fouling species indirectly impacts local species interactions
(2017-10-19)
We investigated how recent changes in the distribution and abundance of a fouling organism affected the strength of interactions between a commercially important foundation species and a common predator. Increases in the ...
Relief of dysphagia due to advanced achalasia by endoscopic creation of an esophagogastric bypass anastomosis through an epiphrenic diverticulum
(2017-05-18)
An 85-year-old man with long-standing dysphagia and multiple admissions for aspiration pneumonia was referred for evaluation.
Triclosan: An Update on Biochemical and Molecular Mechanisms
(2019-05-02)
Triclosan (TCS) is a synthetic, chlorinated phenolic antimicrobial agent commonly used in commercial and healthcare products.
Items made with TCS include soaps, deodorants, shampoos, cosmetics, textiles, plastics, surgical ...
Use of Multifactorial Treatments to Address the Challenge of Translating Experimental Myocardial Infarct Reduction Strategies
(2019-03-15)
Myocardial tissue damage that occurs during an ischemic event leads to a spiraling
deterioration of cardiac muscle structural and functional integrity. Reperfusion is the only known
efficacious strategy and is the most ...
Transport of Anthocyanins and other Flavonoids by the Arabidopsis ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter AtABCC2
(2019-01-24)
Flavonoids have important developmental, physiological, and ecological roles in plants and are primarily stored in the large central vacuole. Here we show that both an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter(s) and an ...
The proteome of extracellular vesicles released by clastic cells differs based on their substrate
(2019-07-10)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from osteoclasts are important regulators in intercellular communication. Here, we investigated the proteome of EVs from clastic cells plated on plastic
(clasts), bone (osteoclasts) and dentin ...
Understanding the Loss of Maternal Care in Avian Brood Parasites Using Preoptic Area Transcriptome Comparisons in Brood Parasitic and Non-parasitic Blackbirds
(2019-02-13)
Parental care is critical for offspring survival in many species. However, parental behaviors have
been lost in roughly 1% of avian species known as the obligate brood parasites. To shed light on molecular
and neurobiological ...
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 ...
