COMT Inhibition Alters Cue-Evoked Oscillatory Dynamics during Alcohol Drinking in the Rat
(2018-10-12)Alterations in the corticostriatal system have been implicated in numerous substance use disorders, including alcohol use disorder (AUD). Adaptations in this neural system are associated with enhanced drug-seeking behaviors ... -
The concept of essential use for determining when uses of PFASs can be phased out
(2019-05-27)Because of the extreme persistence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and their associated risks, the Madrid Statement argues for stopping their use where they are deemed not essential or when safer alternatives ... -
Conclusions: Ontological Relations and the Spatial Politics of Capital Cities
(2016-01)The frontispiece to this this volume, an example of an urban beautification mural project with a view of the alborz Mountains in southern tehran, visualizes the focus of this book on political landscapes of capital cit- ... -
Concurrent validity of skin carotenoid status as a concentration biomarker of vegetable and fruit intake compared to multiple 24-h recalls and plasma carotenoid concentrations across one year: a cohort study
(2019-10-30)Background Biological markers of vegetable and fruit (VF) intake are needed both for nutrition surveillance and for the evaluation of nutrition interventions. Optically assessed skin carotenoid status (SCS) has been ... -
Conspecific brood parasitism in the tropics: An experimental investigation of host responses in common moorhens and American purple gallinules
(2011-08-03)Species occupying a broad latitudinal range may show greater phenotypic plasticity in behavior than species with smaller ranges or more specific habitat requirements. This study investigates for the first time the occurrence ... -
Conspicuous Female Ornamentation and Tests of Male Mate Preference in Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(2015-03)Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is generally less well understood. One example is the recently ... -
Construction and characterization of a bacterial artificial chromosome library for Gossypium mustelinum
(2018-05-17)A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for G. mustelinum Miers ex G. Watt (AD4) was constructed. Intact nuclei from G. mustelinum (AD4) were used to isolate high molecular weight DNA, which was partially cleaved ... -
Construction of realistic hybrid computational fetal phantoms from radiological images in three gestational ages for radiation dosimetry applications
(2019-10-10)Radiation exposure and associated radiation risks are major concerns for fetal development for pregnant patients who undergo radiation therapy or diagnostic imaging procedures. In order to accurately estimate the radiation ... -
Contextual tumor suppressor function of T cell death-associated gene 8 (TDAG8) in hematological malignancies
(2017-12)Background: Extracellular acidosis is a condition found within the tumor microenvironment due to inadequate blood perfusion, hypoxia, and altered tumor cell metabolism. Acidosis has pleiotropic effects on malignant progres‐ ... -
The Continuing Fellowship Conundrum
(2018-02-11)The debate for a fair, equitable, and reasonable pathology fellowship application and selection process has been an ongoing issue with ebb and flow over approximately the past 10 years. The authors of this commentary have ... -
Continuous drawing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) in ethanol and agile functionalization through infusion
(2019-01-03)To explore the possibility of applying organic-solvent drawing technique to accomplish a process of industrial significance, continuous drawing of as-spun PET fibers in ethanol was performed. The formation of multiple ... -
Contribution and distribution of inorganic ions and organic compounds to the osmotic adjustment in Halostachys caspica response to salt stress
(2015-09)The mechanism by which plants cope with salt stress remains poorly understood. The goal of this study is to systematically investigate the contribution and distribution of inorganic ions and organic compounds to the osmotic ... -
Control of vascular smooth muscle cell growth by connexin 43
(2012-06-21)Connexin 43 (Cx43), the principal gap junction protein in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), regulates movement of ions and other signaling molecules through gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) and plays ... -
Cooccurrence of prey species alters the impact of predators on prey performance through multiple mechanisms
(2018-08-11)When prey are differentially affected by intra and interspecific competition, the cooccurrence of multiple prey species alters the per capita availability of food for a particular prey species which could alter how prey ... -
Cooperative effects of Akt-1 and Raf-1 on the induction of cellular senescence in doxorubicin or tamoxifen treated breast cancer cells
(2011-08-30)Escape from cellular senescence induction is a potent mechanism for chemoresistance. Cellular senescence can be induced in breast cancer cell lines by the removal of estrogen signaling with tamoxifen or by the accumulation ... -
Coronary artery ligation and intramyocardial injection in a murine model of infarction
(2011-06-07)Mouse models are a valuable tool for studying acute injury and chronic remodeling of the myocardium in vivo . With the advent of genetic modifications to the whole organism or the myocardium and an array of biological ... -
Correlation of pretreatment drug induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells with patient survival and clinical response
(2012-08-08)This study was performed to determine if a chemotherapy-induced apoptosis assay (MiCK) could predict the best therapy for patients with ovarian cancer. A prospective, multi-institutional and blinded trial of the assay was ...
