The Metal-Responsive Transcription Factor-1 Protein Is Elevated in Human Tumors
In the present study, we investigated MTF-1 protein expression in human tissues by specific immunostaining of both normal and tumor tissue samples.

DEGAS: de novo discovery of dysregulated pathways in human diseases
While a pathway is usually defined as a set of genes known to share a specific function, pathway boundaries are frequently difficult to assign, and methods that rely on such…

Diffusion MR Imaging in Neuropsychiatry and Aging
This chapter provides a review of diffusion imaging findings in normal aging and a sampling of neuropsychiatric diseases, and adds to a growing list of such overviews

Focus on the Brain: HIV Infection and Alcoholism Comorbidity Effects on Brain Structure and Function
Both HIV infection and alcohol abuse have negative effects on the brain, with some unique to each condition and others shared by both conditions. Investigators have used magnetic resonance imaging…

The Use of Orthologous Sequences to Predict the Impact of Amino Acid Substitutions on Protein Function
We examined this assumption by evaluating a panel of nonsynonymous mutants of a prototypical human enzyme, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), in a yeast cell-based functional assay.

Folate Receptor Targeted Nanophosphors for Enhanced Tumor Radiotherapy
Here we present a folic acid (FA) conjugated nanophosphor (NP) intended to enhance the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy by augmenting the production of reactive oxygen species with simultaneous photodynamic therapy…

Using DNA Fingerprints to Infer Familial Relationships Within NHANES III Households
We inferred family relationships within households using DNA fingerprints (Identifiler®) that contain the DNA loci used by law enforcement agencies for forensic identification of individuals.

Comparative Molecular Field Analysis of Fenoterol Derivatives: a Platform Towards Highly Selective and Effective Beta(2)-Adrenergic Receptor Agonists
We use a previously developed CoMFA model to design a series of new structures of high selectivity and efficacy towards the β2-adrenergic receptor.

Lysosomal Degradation of Alpha-Synuclein in Vivo
In this study, lysosomal clearance of α-synuclein in vivo was indicated by the detection of α-synuclein in the lumen of lysosomes isolated from the mouse midbrain.
