Adaptation of Microvasculature to Pulsatility
(2013-09-24)
Continuous-flow left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation leads to increased peripheral resistance and development of arteriovenous malformations. These comorbidities have resisted mechanistic explanation, because ...
Co-Culture of Equine Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Synoviocytes to Modulate Induced Inflammation In-Vitro
(2013-09-19)
Stem cells are the current topic of interest when it comes to the forefront of tissue engineering and new nonivassive therapies; and at the pennacle of regenerative medicine for orthopedic tissues and immunomodulary ...
The Status and Need for Plant Biotechnology Education in Texas Secondary Agricultural Curriculum
(2013-09-24)
The purpose of this research was to examine biotechnology education in Texas secondary Agriscience programs. Historical trends in enrollment, and the current status of the curriculum utilized were assessed. This study ...
DYNAMICS OF LINEAGE RESTRICTION FORMATION IN THE VERTEBRATE MIDBRAIN-HINDBRAIN BOUNDARY
(2013-09-25)
Proper formation of lineage restrictions is important in developing animals to ensure healthy development. While mechanisms that form these restrictions are understood in invertebrates, it is not yet known what contributes ...
Expression and Functional Characterization of Amblyomma americanum tick saliva protein, BP6contig8.
(2013-10-01)
In an attempt to feed on their hosts, ticks secrete saliva proteins to disrupt host defense mechanisms to tick feeding such as blood coagulation and inflammation. To discover tick proteins that are injected into the ...
Does precipitation fall preferentially over dry (or wet) soils?
(2013-10-03)
Previous work suggests precipitation is more likely to fall over dry soils than wet soils. The limited knowledge of the association between surface moisture content and convective activity raises many questions about whether ...
Simulated Galactic Cosmic Radiation Exposure Impairs Mouse Vertebral Bone Adaptations to Exercise During Recovery from Partial Weightbearing
(2013-02-04)
Partial weightbearing that simulates Lunar gravity (one-sixth of Earth’s gravitational force) results in a loss of bone volume. High-energy radiation like that found in galactic cosmic radiation exposure also negatively ...
From the Land of Genesis
(2013-02-14)
The narrative of the Combat veteran from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars over the past decade has been largely obscured. This is in part due to lack of media attention and partly to a nation-wide numbness to the prolonged ...
Self-Similar Radiation-Hydrodynamics Solutions in the Equilibrium Diffusion Limit
(2013-01-31)
This work presents semi-analytical solutions to a radiation-hydrodynamics problems of a radiation source driving an initially cold medium. Our solutions are in the equilibrium diffusion limit, include material motion and ...
Proteases Potentiate Fibrocyte Differentiation
(2013-09-27)
45% of deaths in the United States involve fibrosing diseases and the treatment of non-healing chronic wounds costs more than $25 billion annually in the United States alone. Scar tissue formation plays a critical role in ...
