“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 ...
Synchronized Beta-Band Oscillations in a Model of the Globus Pallidus - Subthalamic Nucleus Network under External Input
(2016)
Hypokinetic symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are usually associated with the excessively strong oscillations and synchrony in the beta frequency band. The origin of this synchronized oscillatory dynamics is being debated. ...
Subcellular fractionation method to study endosomal trafficking of Kaposis sarcoma-associated herpesvirus
(2016)
Background: Virus entry involves multiple steps and is a highly orchestrated process on which successful infection
collectively depends. Entry processes are commonly analyzed by monitoring internalized virus particles via ...
Pioglitazone Enhances the Beneficial Effects of Glucocorticoids in Experimental Nephrotic Syndrome
(2016-05)
Glucocorticoids are the primary therapy for nephrotic syndrome (NS), but have serious side effects and are ineffective in ~20-50% of patients. Thiazolidinediones have recently been suggested to be renoprotective, and to ...
Quantitative assessment of image motion blur in diffraction images of moving biological cells
(2016-02)
Motion blur (MB) presents a significant challenge for obtaining high-contrast image data from biological cells with a polarization diffraction imaging flow cytometry (p-DIFC) method. A new p-DIFC experimental system has ...
