(2024-03-18)Department: ChemistryAs environmental concerns over organic solvents rise and chemists become more aware of the interference solvents can play in reactions, solvent-free methods have grown in popularity, including mechanochemical methods. ...
-
(2024-03-22)Department: ChemistryCystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal genetic disease caused by mutations in Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR), an epithelial anion channel protein. CFTR variants disrupt CFTR protein folding, leading ...
-
(2024-03-21)Department: Microbe-Host InteractionsUropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is one of the most prevalent human pathogens, causing about 80% of urinary tract infections (UTI) in the world. To establish an infection in the bladder, UPEC must survive in the ...
-
(2024-03-18)Department: Community Research & ActionThe course and correlates of adolescent alcohol use disorder (AUD) recovery remains underexplored. Research that identifies protective and risk factors for adolescent AUD recovery, which include alcohol use, well-being, ...
-
(2024-03-26)Department: Learning, Teaching & DiversityThe cradle-to-prison nexus (CTPN) refers to students from Educationally Indebted Communities (e.g., students of color that are also living below the poverty line), or EICs, are disciplined more frequently and severely than ...
-
Nonlinear Models with Moderated Parameters: New Methods and Software for Social Science Applications (2024-03-18)Department: PsychologyIntrinsically nonlinear models are used rarely in psychology and social science research, despite being well suited for informing theory, directly testing key hypotheses, and identifying intraindividual variation in important ...
-
(2024-03-25)Department: Cell & Developmental BiologyMitochondrial and peroxisomal dynamics driven by DRP1 are integral to many cellular functions. Mutations in DRP1 lead to a devastating neurodevelopmental disease known as encephalopathy due to defective mitochondrial and ...
-
(2024-03-21)Department: Cancer BiologyCancer metastasis remains a major unsolved clinical challenge as over 90% or cancer-related deaths are attributed to metastasis. Dynamic regulation of cell adhesion is crucial for successful metastatic dissemination. Cell ...
-
(2024-03-19)Department: ChemistryAs nanochemistry grows as a field and the applications of nanomaterials emerge, the importance of understanding what happens in the reaction flask during synthesis—thinking smaller than the nanoscale level to the molecular ...
-
(2024-03-25)Department: Environmental EngineeringThe emergence of multiscale, nested flow systems is intrinsic to hydrologic systems across landscapes. This complex nesting and its implications for the flow of water and the transport of solutes and energy are the common ...
