Because catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; 22q11.21) activity is an important component of estrogen-mediated carcinogenesis, we hypothesized that germline variation in COMT may be associated with CRC survival.

In this work, the applicability of a novel imaging agent, [1,4-(13)C]-diethylsuccinate, for hyperpolarized (13)C metabolic imaging of the TCA cycle was explored.

We propose a new method for deformable registration of pre-operative and post-recurrence brain MR scans of glioma patients. To address this challenging task, our method, called PORTR, explicitly accounts for…

In the present study, the regulation of MMP-2 activation by α1(IV)NC1 was evaluated. α1β1-integrin which is required for inhibition of angiogenesis is not playing a role in cellular invasion and inhibition of…

We report an improved enantioselective synthesis of herboxidiene and the first report of its biologically active totally synthetic analog: 6-norherboxidiene.

Our premise is systemic inflammation measured as plasma interleukin-6 levels medicates the association between whole diet and long-term mortality risk from coronary heart disease independent of genes.

Here we report monkey oral ethanol self-administration combined with MR imaging to characterize brain changes over 15 months in 18 well-nourished rhesus macaques.

On the occasion of the second anniversary of the Fukushima disaster, it was reported inScience magazine that evacuees were still waiting to go home, but fortunately that radionuclide exposure, at…

We investigated memory performance and cardiovascular activity in 13 primary insomniacs (PI) compared to 13 good sleepers (GS).

Here, we investigated the role of MNF in GPR55 signaling in human HepG2 and PANC-1 cancer cell lines in culture by focusing first on internalization of the fluorescent ligand Tocrifluor…

Influenza is an infectious disease typically transmitted through the air. It is responsible for seasonal epidemics affecting millions of people, and sporadic global pandemics. Influenza infection is a membrane fusion‐dependant process, occurring…
