• Exploring fibrosis in muscular dystrophy through modulation of the TGF-beta pathway 

  St. Andre, Michael William (2021)

  The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the skeletal muscle provides the framework for the muscle structure and plays a key role in the repair and maintenance of myofibers through the resident fibroblasts and muscle satellite ...
• Effects of Zika virus on neural precursor cell types and microencephaly in a model of direct embryonic murine brain infection 

  Shelton, Samantha (2021)

  Prenatal exposure to Zika virus (ZIKV) can result in microencephaly and congenital Zika syndrome but why some brain cells and structures are initially spared by the virus is unknown. Here, a novel murine model of ZIKV ...
• Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative planning for prenatal repair of myelomeningocele and myeloschisis 

  Ahmad, Saliha (2021)

  Following the publishing of the Management of Myelomeningocele Study, the advantages of in utero repair for fetal myelomeningoceles became points of interest for fetal surgeons. There are many variables that must align in ...
• Modified comprehensive behavioral intervention for Tics: treating children with Tic disorders, co-occurring ADHD, and psychosocial impairment 

  Albright, Caroline (2021)

  OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of Modified Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (MCBIT) therapy for patients with persistent chronic tic disorders (CTD) and ...

  Linoleic acid-mediated regulation of T cell cytokine-subset composition in a murine model of type 1 diabetes 

  Hernandez Escalante, Jaileene (2021)

  Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a complex autoimmune disorder in which T cells destroy the pancreatic islets, leading to a loss of insulin production and hyperglycemia. The disease incidence has increased globally over the last ...

  Gold nanoparticles as platform for investigating epidermal growth factor receptor activation and intestinal epithelium cell metabolomics 

  Zhang, Qianyun (2021)

  Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) exhibit unique optical and electronic properties due to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which arises from the collective oscillation of conduction electrons on the surface of AuNPs. ...
