Enhanced Sensitivity of Neil1-/- Mice to Chronic UVB Exposure

December 1, 2016
Author(s)
M Miral Dizdar, Marcus J. Calkins, Vladimir Vartanian, Guldal Kirkali, Amanda K. McCullough, R. S. Lloyd, Pawel Jaruga
DNA base damage induced by oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are thought to be central mediators of ultraviolet light (UV)-induced carcinogenesis and skin aging. However, increased steady-state levels of ROS-induced DNA base damage have

Alterations in eicosanoid composition during embryonic development in the chorioallantoic membrane of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) and domestic chicken (Gallus gallus)

Eicosanoids are signaling lipids that regulate several physiological processes in the mammalian placenta, including the initiation of parturition. Though all amniotes construct similar extraembryonic membranes during development, the composition and

Development and Characterization of Reference Materials for Genetic Testing

Justin M. Zook, Marc L. Salit, Lisa V. Kalman, Mickey Williams, Vivekananda Datta, Jin-Yeong Han
Characterized reference materials (RM) are needed for test development and validation, quality control procedures and proficiency testing to assure the quality of clinical laboratory tests. In this article, we review the development and characterization of

Integrative and comparative reproductive biology: From alligators to xenobiotics

November 1, 2016

Ashley S. Boggs-Russell, John Bowden, Abby G. Wenzel, Satomi Kohno, Heather J. Hamlin, Lori Cruze, Krista A. McCoy, Alison M. Roark, Thea M. Edwards, Theresa M. Cantu, Jessica A. Cloy-McCoy, Nicole A. McNabb, Cameron E. Williams
Dr. Louis J. Guillette Jr. thought of himself as a reproductive biologist. However, his interest in reproductive biology transcended organ systems, life history stages, species, and environmental contexts. His integrative and collaborative nature led to

Caring: An Undiscovered Super "Ility" of Smart Healthcare

October 28, 2016
Author(s)
Nancy Laplante, Phillip Laplante, Jeff Voas
As new and exciting applications emerge using smart technologies, the Internet of Things, data analytics, and others for healthcare, a critical problem is emerging: the potential loss of "caring." The interplay of technology and caring has been discussed

Enhanced Sensitivity of Neil1-/- Mice to Chronic UVB Exposure

October 28, 2016
Author(s)
Pawel Jaruga, M Miral Dizdar, Marcus J. Calkins, Vladimir Vartanian, Amanda McCullough, R. S. Lloyd, Guldal Kirkali
Oxidative stress and oxidatively induced DNA base damage are central mediators of UV-induced carcinogenesis and skin aging. However, increased steady-state levels of oxidatively induced DNA base damage have not been reported after chronic UV exposure

FINE-TUNING ELECTRICAL FLOW RATE SENSING IN DEFORMABLE CHANNELS

October 9, 2016
Author(s)
Pengfei Niu, Brian J. Nablo, Kiran Bhadriraju, Darwin Reyes-Hernandez
Here we present conclusive proof that when using electrical impedance to measure volumetric flow rate in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels a considerable fraction of the change in impedance, due to change in flow rate, is caused by the variation in

Elevated urinary levels of 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine, (5’R)- and (5’S)-8,5’-cyclo-2’- deoxyadenosines, and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2? as potential biomarkers of oxidative stress in patients with prediabetes

Prediabetes is the preclinical stage of type 2 diabetes mellitus with intermediate state of hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia results in a state of oxidative stress and that reactive oxygen species contribute to the production of insulin resistance, β-cell

A medical device-grade T1 and ECV phantom for global T1 mapping quality assurance - The T 1 Mapping and ECV Standardization in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (T1MES) program

September 22, 2016

Gabriella Captur, Peter Gatehouse, Katy Keenan, Friso Heslinga, Ruediger Bruehl, Marcel Prothmann, Martin J. Graves, Richard J. Eames, Camilla Torlasco, Giulia Benedetti, Jacqueline Donovan, Bernd Ittermann, Redha Boubertakh, Andrew Bathgate, Celine Royet, Wenjie Pang, Reza Nezafat, Michael Salerno, Peter Kellman, James C. Moon
Background: T1 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) have the potential to guide patient care and serve as surrogate end-points in clinical trials, but measurements differ between cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scanners and pulse sequences. To

After oxidation, zinc nanoparticles lose their ability to enhance responses to odorants

September 20, 2016

Samantha Hagerty, Yasmine C. Daniels, Melissa Singletary, Oleg Pustovyy, Ludmila Globa, William A. MacCrehan, Shinichiro Muramoto, June W. Lau, Edward Morrison, Iryna Sorokulova, Vitaly Vodyanoy, Gheorghe Stan
Electrical responses of olfactory sensory neurons to odorants were examined in the presence of zinc nanoparticles of various sizes and degrees of oxidation. The zinc nanoparticles were prepared by the underwater electrical discharge method and analyzed by
