Investigating NIBS for language rehabilitation in aphasia
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022-07-04)Purpose The purpose of this scoping review was to identify and synthesize research on interventions in which noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) was used to improve linguistic abilities in individuals with aphasia. NIBS ... -

Spatiotemporal Imaging of Zinc Ions in Zebrafish Live Brain Tissue Enabled by Fluorescent Bionanoprobes
(MDPI, 2023-02-28)The zebrafish is a powerful model organism to study the mechanisms governing transition metal ions within whole brain tissue. Zinc is one of the most abundant metal ions in the brain, playing a critical pathophysiological ... -
Evaluation of delay discounting as a transdiagnostic research domain criteria indicator in 1388 general community adults
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-01-26)Background The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) approach proposes a novel psychiatric nosology using transdiagnostic dimensional mechanistic constructs. One candidate RDoC indicator is delay discounting (DD), a behavioral ... -
A protein subunit vaccine elicits a balanced immune response that protects against Pseudomonas pulmonary infection
(Nature Research, 2023-03-14)The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) causes severe nosocomial infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals and the elderly. Increasing drug resistance, the absence of a licensed vaccine and ... -
Heterogeneous melting near the Thwaites Glacier grounding line
(Nature Research, 2023-02-15)Thwaites Glacier represents 15% of the ice discharge from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and influences a wider catchment1,2,3. Because it is grounded below sea level4,5, Thwaites Glacier is thought to be susceptible to ... -
Engagement in water governance action situations in the Lake Champlain Basin
(Public Library of Science, 2023-03-16)Water quality governance encompasses multiple “wicked” interacting problems that manifest within social-ecological systems. Concerned governments, institutions, and actors concerned with addressing these issues must wrestle ... -
Human cytochrome P450 17A1 structures with metabolites of prostate cancer drug abiraterone reveal substrate-binding plasticity and a second binding site
(Elsevier, 2023-03-09)Abiraterone acetate is a first-line therapy for castration-resistant prostate cancer. This prodrug is deacetylated in vivo to abiraterone, which is a potent and specific inhibitor of cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1). CYP17A1 ... -
Sustainable Methodologies for Efficient Gel Electrophoresis and Streamlined Screening of Difficult Plasmids
(MDPI, 2023-03-06)We describe a workflow for efficient, environmentally attentive, and sustainable practices related to routine agarose gel electrophoresis. The methods reduce plastic waste and improve efficiency, especially for the exhaustive ... -
Chronic training status affects muscle excitation of the vastus lateralis during repeated contractions
(Elsevier, 2023-01-02)This study examined electromyographic amplitude (EMGRMS)-force relationships during repeated submaximal knee extensor muscle actions among chronic aerobically-(AT), resistance-trained (RT), and sedentary (SED) individuals. ... -
Discovering Themes in Deep Brain Stimulation Research Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence
(MDPI, 2023-03-03)Deep brain stimulation is a treatment that controls symptoms by changing brain activity. The complexity of how to best treat brain dysfunction with deep brain stimulation has spawned research into artificial intelligence ... -
Biogeochemical properties of blue carbon sediments influence the distribution and monomer composition of bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)
(Springer, 2023-01-10)Coastal wetlands are highly efficient ‘blue carbon’ sinks which contribute to mitigating climate change through the long-term removal of atmospheric CO2 and capture of carbon (C). Microorganisms are integral to C sequestration ... -
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Dps (PA0962) Functions in H2O2 Mediated Oxidative Stress Defense and Exhibits In Vitro DNA Cleaving Activity
(MDPI, 2023-02-28)We report the structural, biochemical, and functional characterization of the product of gene PA0962 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. The protein, termed Pa Dps, adopts the Dps subunit fold and oligomerizes into a nearly ... -
Native Microbes Amplify Native Seedling Establishment and Diversity While Inhibiting a Non-Native Grass
(MDPI, 2023-03-06)Although several studies have shown increased native plant establishment with native microbe soil amendments, few studies have investigated how microbes can alter seedling recruitment and establishment in the presence of ... -
Integrated de novo gene prediction and peptide assembly of metagenomic sequencing data
(Oxford University Press, 2023-03-11)Metagenomics is the study of all genomic content contained in given microbial communities. Metagenomic functional analysis aims to quantify protein families and reconstruct metabolic pathways from the metagenome. It plays ... -
