Estrogen Regulates the Satellite Cell Compartment in Females
(2019-07-09)
Skeletal muscle mass, strength, and regenerative capacity decline with age, with many measures showing a greater deterioration in females around the time estrogen levels decrease at menopause. Here, we show that estrogen ...
Evaluating Combinations of Sentinel-2 Data and Machine-Learning Algorithms for Mangrove Mapping in West Africa
(2019-12-06)
Creating a national baseline for natural resources, such as mangrove forests, and monitoring them regularly often requires a consistent and robust methodology. With freely available satellite data archives and cloud computing ...
Facebook Groups on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Social Media Content Analysis
(2019-10-09)
Facebook Groups facilitate information exchange and engagement for patients with chronic conditions, including those living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD); however, little is known about how knowledge ...
Development of a Mobile Health Intervention to Promote Papanicolaou Tests and Human Papillomavirus Vaccination in an Underserved Immigrant Population: A Culturally Targeted and Individually Tailored Text Messaging Approach
(2019-06-06)
Background: Disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality signify the need for intervention efforts targeting Korean American immigrant women.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate how a ...
Formation of Protein Networks between Mucins: Molecular Dynamics Study Based on the Interaction Energy of the System
(2019-09-06)
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for a model aqueous solution of
mucin. As mucin is a central part of lubricin, a key component of synovial fluid, we investigate its
ability to form cross-linked networks. ...
Fiducial marker placement with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy: a subgroup analysis of the prospective, multicenter NAVIGATE study
(2019-03-08)
Fiducial markers (FMs) help direct stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and localization for surgical resection in lung cancer management. We report the safety, accuracy, and practice patterns of FM placement utilizing ...
Evaluation of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carriage and High Livestock Production Areas in North Carolina through Active Case Finding at a Tertiary Care Hospital
(2019-09-14)
: Recent reports from the Netherlands document the emergence of novel multilocus sequence
typing (MLST) types (e.g., ST-398) of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in livestock,
particularly swine. In ...
Founder effects and species introductions: A host versus parasite perspective
(2019-08-07)
Species colonizations (both natural and anthropogenic) can be associated with genetic
founder effects, where founding populations demonstrate significant genetic bottlenecks compared to native populations. Yet, many ...
Global redox proteome and phosphoproteome analysis reveals redox switch in Akt
(2019-12-02)
Protein oxidation sits at the intersection of multiple signalling pathways, yet the magnitude and extent of crosstalk between oxidation and other post-translational modifications remains unclear. Here, we delineate global ...
Genome of Crucihimalaya himalaica, a close relative of Arabidopsis, shows ecological adaptation to high altitude
(2019-04-02)
Crucihimalaya himalaica is a close relative of Arabidopsis with typical Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) distribution. Here, by combining short- and long-read sequencing technologies, we provide a de novo genome sequence of C. ...
