Can Mentoring Promote Self-esteem and School Connectedness? An Evaluation of the Mentor-UP Project (Psychological Inervention, 2020-04)Research in the United States has shown that youth mentoring is a promising strategy for increasing self-esteem and school connectedness in at-risk youth. There has been little confirmation of those findings internationally. ...

(Communications Biology, 2019-09-02)The kidney's inherent complexity has made identifying cell-specific pathways challenging, particularly when temporally associating them with the dynamic pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI). Here, we combine renal ...
-
(iScience, 2020-01-24)We investigated whether a task requiring concurrent perceptual decision-making and response control can be performed concurrently, whether evidence accumulation and response control are accomplished by the same neurons, ...

(Data in Brief, 2019-06)Actomyosin contractility can promote extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation by invadopodia in cancer cells. However, we previously found that inhibiting myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) with siRNA did not change force ...
-
(Frontiers In Molecular Neuroscience, 2022-12-14)Accurate photon counting requires that rods generate highly amplified, reproducible single photon responses (SPRs). The SPR is generated within the rod outer segment (ROS), a multilayered structure built from membranous ...
-
(Nature Communications, 2019-09-13)Cell migration during the invasion-metastasis cascade requires cancer cells to navigate a spatially complex microenvironment that presents directional choices to migrating cells. Here, we investigate cellular energetics ...
-
(PLoS One, 2019-08-01)Many scientific researchers aspire to engage policy in their writing, but translating scientific research and findings into policy discussion often requires an understanding of the institutional complexities of legal and ...
-
(ACS Omega, 2019-07)Allosteric ligands within a given chemotype can have the propensity to display a wide range of pharmacology, as well as unexpected changes in GPCR subtype selectivity, typically mediated by single-atom modifications to the ...
-
(Nature Communications, 2020-02-03)Each additional copy of the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele is associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer's dementia, while the APOE2 allele is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's dementia, it is not yet known ...
-
(Scientific Reports, 2019-09-06)The goal of this study is to experimentally and computationally investigate combination trastuzumab-paclitaxel therapies and identify potential synergistic effects due to sequencing of the therapies with in vitro imaging ...
-
(Nature Communications, 2020-01-09)Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A small proportion of HF cases are attributable to monogenic cardiomyopathies and existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have yielded ...
-
(Nature Communications, 2019-09-11)Increased levels of the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) are associated with higher risk of kidney disease progression and cardiovascular events, but underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here, we ...
-
(PLoS One, 2019-06-28)Background The electrocardiographically quantified QRS duration measures ventricular depolarization and conduction. QRS prolongation has been associated with poor heart failure prognosis and cardiovascular mortality, ...
-
(Nature Communications, 2020-01-07)Impaired lung function is often caused by cigarette smoking, making it challenging to disentangle its role in lung cancer susceptibility. Investigation of the shared genetic basis of these phenotypes in the UK Biobank and ...
-
(PLoS One, 2019-07-10)Innate CD8 alpha alpha(+) cells, also referred to as iCD8 alpha cells, are TCR-negative intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) possessing cytokine and chemokine profiles and functions related to innate immune cells. iCD8 alpha ...

(iScience, 2020-01-24)Visualization plays a central role in the analysis of biochemical network models to identify patterns that arise from reaction dynamics and perform model exploratory analysis. To facilitate these analyses, we developed ...
-
(PLoS One, 2019-08-22)Epidemiological studies revealed that antibiotics exposure increases a risk of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) development. It remained largely unknown how antibiotic-induced dysbiosis confers the risk for enhanced ...
-
(2019-07-25)Mammals have two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones. While rods are exceptionally sensitive and mediate vision at very low illumination levels, cones operate in daylight and are responsible for the bulk of visual ...

A network analysis to identify mediators of germline-driven differences in breast cancer prognosis (Nature Communications, 2020-01-16)Identifying the underlying genetic drivers of the heritability of breast cancer prognosis remains elusive. We adapt a network-based approach to handle underpowered complex datasets to provide new insights into the potential ...
