Impact of Molecular Weight on Lymphatic Drainage of a Biopolymer-Based Imaging Agent
(MDPI, 2012-05-23)New lymphatic imaging technologies are needed to better assess immune function and cancer progression and treatment. Lymphatic uptake depends mainly on particle size (10–100 nm) and charge. The size of carriers for imaging ... -
Formation of Rigid, Non-Flight Forewings (Elytra) of a Beetle Requires Two Major Cuticular Proteins
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-26)Insect cuticle is composed primarily of chitin and structural proteins. To study the function of structural cuticular proteins, we focused on the proteins present in elytra (modified forewings that become highly sclerotized ... -
Constructing non-stationary Dynamic Bayesian Networks with a flexible lag choosing mechanism
(BioMed Central, 2010-10-07)Background: Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs) are widely used in regulatory network structure inference with gene expression data. Current methods assumed that the underlying stochastic processes that generate the gene ... -
Effect of the degenerative state of the intervertebral disk on the impact characteristics of human spine segments
(Frontiers, 2013-12)Models of the dynamic response of the lumbar spine have been used to examine vertebral fractures (VFx) during falls and whole body vibration transmission in the occupational setting. Although understanding the viscoelastic ... -
Lysosomotropic Properties of Weakly Basic Anticancer Agents Promote Cancer Cell Selectivity In Vitro
(Plos One, 2012-11-07)Drug distribution in cells is a fundamentally important, yet often overlooked, variable in drug efficacy. Many weakly basic anticancer agents accumulate extensively in the acidic lysosomes of normal cells through ion ... -
Efficacy and Toxicity of Peritumoral Delivery of Nanoconjugated Cisplatin in an In Vivo Murine Model of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
(JAMA otolaryngology-- head & neck surgery, 2013-04-01) -
Sense in the lumbar spine Is diminished with flexion
(Human Kinetics, 2007)Proprioception plays an important role in appropriate sensation of spine position, movement and stability. Previous research has demonstrated that position sense error in the lumbar spine is increased in flexed postures. ... -
Whole body vibration alters proprioception in the trunk
(Elsevier, 2008)Occupational whole body vibration has long been associated with low back injuries. However, the mechanism of these injuries is not well understood. In this paper, the effect of whole body vibration on proprioception and ... -
Lumbar-pelvic range and coordination during lifting tasks
(Elsevier, 2008)Spine motion has been described to have two regions, a neutral zone where lumbar rotation can occur with little resistance and an elastic zone where structures such as ligaments, facet joints and intervertebral disks resist ... -
Directional sensitivity of velocity sense in lateral trunk flexion
(Human Kinetics, 2008-01-04)Regulating spinal motion requires proprioceptive feedback. While studies have investigated the sensing of static lumbar postures, few have investigated sensing lumbar movement speed. In this study, proprioceptive contributions ... -

A haptic display for robotic rehabilitation of stroke
(TSI Press, San Antonio, TX, USA, 2006-07)The effects of stroke are debilitating on the American population. Past studies of robot-aided motor training for survivors have proven to be effective in upper limb motor recovery. However, survivors also suffer from loss ...
