A De Novo Sequence Variant in Barrier-to-Autointegration Factor Is Associated with Dominant Motor Neuronopathy
(2023-03-09)Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) is an essential component of the nuclear lamina. Encoded by BANF1, this DNA binding protein contributes to the regulation of gene expression, cell cycle progression, and nuclear ... -
Biophotons and Emergence of Quantum Coherence—A Diffusion Entropy Analysis
(Entropy;23(5), 2021-04-29)We study the emission of photons from germinating seeds using an experimental technique designed to detect light of extremely small intensity. We analyze the dark count signal without germinating seeds as well as the photon ... -
Challenges and Strategies of Successful Mentoring: The Perspective of LEADS Scholars and Mentors from Minority Serving Institutions
(6/7/2021)Mentoring continues to be a salient conversation in academia among junior and senior faculty and administrators. Mentors provide guidance and structure to junior faculty so that they can meet their academic and professional ... -
Community Engagement Practices at Research Centers in U.S. Minority Institutions: Priority Populations and Innovative Approaches to Advancing Health Disparities Research
(6/21/2021)This paper details U.S. Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) Community Engagement Cores (CECs): (1) unique and cross-cutting components, focus areas, specific aims, and target populations; and (2) approaches ... -
Conserved Transcriptome Features Define Prepubertal Primate Spermatogonial Stem Cells as Adark Spermatogonia and Identify Unique Regulators
(2023-03-01)Antineoplastic treatments for cancer and other non-malignant disorders can result in long-term or permanent male infertility by ablating spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). SSC transplantation using testicular tissue harvested ... -
Correlated Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Abnormalities in Aging are Discontinuous with Alzheimer’s Disease
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 4, 2018)Oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage precede Alzheimer’s disease (AD) hallmark pathologies, neurofibrillarytangles (NFT), and senile plaques.Mitochondria’s exact role in oxidation of pyruvate and NADH play a critical ... -
Fractional Lotka-Volterra-Type Cooperation Models: Impulsive Control on Their Stability Behavior
(8/31/2020)We present a biological fractional n-species delayed cooperation model of Lotka-Volterra type. The considered fractional derivatives are in the Caputo sense. Impulsive control strategies are applied for several stability ... -
Oxidative Stress Signaling in Blast TBI-Induced Tau Phosphorylation
(6/15/2021)Traumatic brain injury caused by blast is associated with long-term neuropathological changes including tau phosphorylation and pathology. In this study, we aimed to determine changes in initial tau phosphorylation after ... -
Polyphenols in Alzheimer's Disease and in the Gut–Brain Axis
(1/31/2020)Polyphenolic antioxidants, including dietary plant lignans, modulate the gut–brain axis, which involves transformation of these polyphenolic compounds into physiologically active and neuroprotector compounds (called human ... -
Promise from the Sea
(10/9/2016)The twenty-first century's greatest medical challenge is degenerative disease. [...] -
Reevaluating the Language of Learning Advantage in Bilingual Arithmetic: An ERP Study on Spoken Multiplication Verification
(2022-04-21)Many studies of bilingual arithmetic report better performance when verifying arithmetic facts in the language of learning (LA+) over the other language (LA−). This could be due to language-specific memory representations, ... -
The Effect of Code-Switching Experience on the Neural Response Elicited to a Sentential Code Switch
(2022-07-11)Switching between languages, or codeswitching, is a cognitive ability that multilinguals can perform with ease. This study investigates whether codeswitching during sentence reading affects early access to meaning, as ... -
The Interrelation of Neurological and Psychological Symptoms of COVID-19: Risks and Remedies
(8/13/2020)COVID-19 has catastrophically affected the world's panoramic view of human well-being in terms of healthcare and management. With the increase in the number of cases worldwide, neurological symptoms and psychological ... -
The Microbiota–Gut–Brain Axis–Heart Shunt Part II: Prosaic Foods and the Brain–Heart Connection in Alzheimer Disease
(3/31/2020)There is a strong cerebrovascular component to brain aging, Alzheimer disease, and vascular dementia. Foods, common drugs, and the polyphenolic compounds contained in wine modulate health both directly and through the gut ... -
The Transformative Possibilities of the Microbiota and Mycobiota for Health, Disease, Aging, and Technological Innovation
(3/28/2019)The gut microbiota is extremely important for the health of the host across its lifespan. Recent studies have elucidated connections between the gut microbiota and neurological disease and disorders such as depression, ... -
Therapeutic Antiaging Strategies
(2022-10-08)Aging constitutes progressive physiological changes in an organism. These changes alter the normal biological functions, such as the ability to manage metabolic stress, and eventually lead to cellular senescence. The process ... -
Towards an Integrative Understanding of tRNA Aminoacylation–Diet–Host–Gut Microbiome Interactions in Neurodegeneration
(3/26/2018)Transgenic mice used for Alzheimer's disease (AD) preclinical experiments do not recapitulate the human disease. In our models, the dietary tryptophan metabolite tryptamine produced by human gut microbiome induces ...
