m6A Regulates Breast Cancer Proliferation and Migration through Stage-dependent Changes in Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition Gene Expression
(2023-11-07)While many factors have been implicated in breast cancer progression, effective treatments are still lacking. In recent years, it has become clear that posttranscriptional regulation plays a key role in the aberrant gene ... -
Mammogram Uptake among Korean American Women in the South: Do Health Beliefs Matter?
(2022-11-17)Background: Breast cancer is commonly diagnosed in Korean American women (KAW), and its incidence rates continue to increase. Despite the increasing burden of breast cancer diagnosis, screening rates among KAW remain low. ... -
Measuring Workplace Discrimination among Sexual and Gender Minority Workers
(2019-11-01)As inequities in health for sexual and gender minority (SGM; eg, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender [LGBT]) populations become increasingly well documented, it is important to investigate causes of inequities to ... -
MELPF Version 1: Modeling Error Learning Based Post-Processor Framework for Hydrologic Models Accuracy Improvement
(2019-09-23)This paper studies how to improve the accuracy of hydrologic models using machine-learning models as postprocessors and presents possibilities to reduce the workload to create an accurate hydrologic model by removing the ... -
Microscale structural changes of individual fibrin fibers during fibrinolysis
(2022-01-07)Fibrinolysis is the enzymatic digestion of fibrin, the primary structural component in blood clots. Mechanisms of fibrin fiber digestion during lysis have long been debated and obtaining detailed structural knowledge of ... -
The mismatch between current statistical practice and doctoral training in ecology
(2016-08-17)Ecologists are studying increasingly complex and important issues such as climate change and ecosystem services. These topics often involve large data sets and the application of complicated quantitative models. We evaluated ... -
Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
(2015-12-07)Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments. In order to optimize this tradeoff, prey need to be able to ... -
Morbihan disease: A diagnostic dilemma: two cases with successful resolution
(2021-06-11)Morbihan syndrome is a rare entity characterized by persistent erythema and solid edema of upper two-thirds of the face. Although its etiology is poorly understood, it is known to have a wide differential diagnosis and is ... -
Multihazard hurricane fragility model for wood structure homes considering hazard parameters and building attributes interaction.
(2020-09-22)Predicting building damage as a function of hurricane hazards, building attributes, and the interaction between hazard and building attributes is a key to understanding how significant interaction reflects variation hazard ... -
N6-methyladenosine contributes to cellular phenotype in a genetically-defined model of breast cancer progression
(2018-07-27)The mRNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is involved in many post-transcriptional regulatory processes including mRNA stability and translational efficiency. However, it is also imperative to correlate these processes ... -
Nearshore mixing and nutrient delivery along the western Antarctic Peninsula
(2017)The surface waters of the Southern Ocean play a key role in the global climate and carbon cycles by promoting growth of some of the world’s largest phytoplankton blooms. Several studies have emphasized the importance of ... -
Nicotine exposure and transgenerational impact: a prospective study on small regulatory microRNAs
(2014-12-17)Early developmental stages are highly sensitive to stress and it has been reported that pre-conditioning with tobacco smoking during adolescence predisposes those youngsters to become smokers as adults. However, the molecular ... -
Oculomotor behavior as a biomarker for differentiating pediatric patients with mild traumatic brain injury and age matched controls.
(2020-11-12)Importance: Children have the highest incidence of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in the United States. However, mTBI, specifically pediatric patients with mTBI, are notoriously difficult to detect, and with a reliance ... -
Oral health, diabetes, and inflammation: Effects of oral hygiene behavior
(Elsevier, 2021-11-29)The aim of this research was to assess the association between inflammation and oral health and diabetes, as well as the mediating role of oral hygiene practice in this association. Data were from the 2009–2010 National ... -
Osteomyelitis Infection of Mycobacterium marinum: A Case Report and Literature Review
(2014-12)Mycobacterium marinum (M. marinum) is a ubiquitous waterborne organism that grows optimally at temperatures around 30°C. It is a nontuberculous Mycobacterium found in nonchlorinated water with worldwide prevalence. It is ... -
