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 ...
Trends and Costs Associated With Suboptimal Physical Activity Among US Women With Cardiovascular Disease
(2019-04-12)
IMPORTANCE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disability among
women. Achievement of recommended physical activity (PA) levels is an essential component of
CVD management.
OBJECTIVE: To ...
The variability of song variability in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) populations
(2019-05-15)
Birdsong is a classic example of a learned social behaviour. Song behaviour is also influenced by genetic factors, and understanding the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences remains a major goal. ...
Species-Specific Conservation of Linear Antigenic Sites on Vaccinia Virus A27 Protein Homologs of Orthopoxviruses
(2019-05-29)
The vaccinia virus (VACV) A27 protein and its homologs, which are found in a large number of members of the genus Orthopoxvirus (OPXV), are targets of viral neutralization by host antibodies. We have mapped six binding ...
Use of Short Messaging Service to Improve Follow-Up for Abnormal Pap Test Results in Minority and Medically Underserved Women in North Carolina: Questionnaire on Attitudes and Acceptability
(2019-06-08)
Background: An estimated one in eight cervical cancer cases are due to a lack of follow-up care for abnormal Pap test results. Low rates of completion of follow-up care particularly affect low-income minority women. The ...
Phylogenomic Reconstruction of the Neotropical Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae) and Their Conservation
(2019-01-29)
The evolutionary history of the Dendrobatidae, the charismatic Neotropical poison frog family, remains in flux, even after a half-century of intensive research. Understanding the evolutionary relationships between dendrobatid ...
Real-time compression feedback for patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest: a multi-center randomized controlled clinical trial
(2019-01-03)
Objective: To determine if real-time compression feedback using a non-automated hand-held device improves
patient outcomes from in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).
Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled, ...
Refinement of risk stratification for childhood rhabdomyosarcoma using FOXO1 fusion status in addition to established clinical outcome predictors: A report from the Children's Oncology Group
(2019-08-06)
Background:
Previous studies of the prognostic importance of FOXO1 fusion status in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) have had conflicting results. We re‐examined risk stratification by adding FOXO1 status to traditional ...
