Means and Long-Term Trends of Global Coastal Zone Precipitation
(2019-04-01)
Precipitation in the coastal zone is important to the socio-economic and ecological well-being of the world. Meteorologically, precipitation is generated by unique mechanisms at the land-sea interface, which is why coastal ...
Measurement of Oral Epithelial Thickness by Optical Coherence Tomography
(2019-08-06)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a real-time, in-situ, non-invasive imaging device
that is able to perform a cross-sectional evaluation of tissue microstructure based on the specific
intensity of back-scattered and ...
Leading and Sustaining Curricular Change: Workshop Proceedings from the 2018 Sex and Gender Health Education Summit
(2019-11-12)
The education of health science professionals must balance the incorporation of new and essential content against the current curriculum density. Scientific evidence documenting the impact of sex and gender on health ...
Roles of GSK-3 and microRNAs on epithelial mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cells
(2017-02)
Various signaling pathways exert critical roles in the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cells (CSCs). The Wnt/beta-catenin, PI3K/PTEN/ Akt/mTORC, Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK, hedgehog (Hh), Notch and TP53 ...
RhoGTPase Regulators Orchestrate Distinct Stages of Synaptic Development
(2017-01-23)
Small RhoGTPases regulate changes in post-synaptic spine morphology and density that support learning and memory. They are also major targets of synaptic disorders, including Autism. Here we sought to determine whether ...
Rho GTPases as therapeutic targets in Alzheimer’s disease
(2017-12-15)
The progress we have made in understanding Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis has led to the identification of several novel pathways and potential therapeutic targets. Rho GTPases have been implicated as critical ...
Seasonal home range dynamics and sex dierences in habitat use in a threatened, coastal marsh bird
(2017-02)
A comprehensive understanding of spatiotemporal ecology is needed to develop con- servation strategies for declining species. The king rail (Rallus elegans) is a secretive marsh bird whose range historically extended across ...
Simulating and quantifying legacy topographic data uncertainty: an initial step to advancing topographic change analyses
(2017-10)
Rapid technological advances, sustained funding, and a greater recognition of the value of topographic data have helped develop an increasing archive of topographic data sources. Advances in basic and applied research ...
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 ...
Nestin in immature embryonic neurons affects axon growth cone morphology and Semaphorin3a sensitivity
(2019-05-01)
Correct wiring in the neocortex requires that responses to an individual guidance cue vary among neurons in the same location, and within the same neuron over time. Nestin is an atypical intermediate filament expressed ...
