Neurodevelopment after postnatal Zika virus infection in infant macaques
PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT Intense research has focused on the neurologic effects of prenatal Zika virus (ZIKV) infection; however, the consequences of postnatal infection early in...
Telehealth to Improve Prevention of Suicide (TIPS) in EDs
ABSTRACT Significance: Our study will rigorously evaluate whether synchronous, within-visit telemental health evaluation and intervention services can successfully overcome poor a...
ROS Targeted Therapy for Lethal Prostate Cancer
PROJECT SUMMARY Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in American men. Current therapeutics only show marginal efficacy and are often associated with...
Inhibition of CaMKK2 sensitizes rectal cancers to radiation therapy
Abstract In the United States, colon cancer and rectal cancer are the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women. The standard of care for stage II-III rectal cancer...
Mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant supplementation for improving age-related vascular dysfunction in humans
Project Summary The vast majority of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) occur in men and women ≥60 years of age. Changes in the demographics of aging in the U.S. predict progressive...
Motherhood Biographies and Midlife Women's Health
Abstract Research shows widening health disparities among midlife women since the mid-1980s. However, the mechanisms through which these health gradients operate are not fully kn...
GATA Factor Mechanisms in Erythroid Regeneration
ABSTRACT Erythropoiesis, the production of red blood cells (RBCs), is fine-tuned to meet physiological demands. During regeneration or “stress erythropoiesis” caused by anemia, a...
Connecting AMD SNPs to Functions Using Allele-specific Interactions
PROJECT SUMMARY. Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a retinal neurodegenerative disease that is a major cause of vision loss among the elderly worldwide. Although anti-VEG...
Next generation deep tissue quantitative optical imaging
PROJECT SUMMARY Nearly 20 years of clinical research has shown that near-infrared optical imaging based upon frequency domain diffuse optical spectroscopy (FD-DOS) can be a power...
Novel population-genetic methods for localizing targets of natural selection in diverse human genomes
PROJECT SUMMARY. The PI's research program in population genetics focuses on the coalescent-based inference of population his- tories from whole genomes, and the determination of...
Cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying DDX3X syndrome
Abstract Mutations in DDX3X are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and may account for 1-3% of unexplained developmental delay (DD) in females, making this...
Sensorimotor learning through adjustments of cortical dynamics
Abstract Extensive research spanning theory, psychophysics, and physiology has investigated how we rely on statistical regularities in the environment to improve our sensorimotor...
Genetic and molecular correlates of white matter pathology in Alzheimers disease
PROJECT SUMMARY: Although Alzheimer's disease (AD) is typically defined by the accumulation of beta- amyloid and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, synaptic loss and neuronal degen...
MICROBIOTA-DEPENDENT CONTROL OF CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE: THE ROLE OF ACETATE AND IL-22 BINDING PROTEIN
PROJECT SUMMARY The overall goal of this application is to establish avenues through which we can harness the intestinal microbiota to enhance mucosal immune responses against Cl...
Rapid evolution of pigmentation in D. melanogaster: from cis regulation to phenotype
PROJECT SUMMARY Rapid evolutionary adaptation is a foundational process in biology and at the core of many issues facing humanity including cancer, bacterial and viral diseases,...
Interplay Between Nuclear Organization and Function
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Goals: Peri-Centromeric Heterochromatin (PCH) is required for genome stability/DNA repair, chromosome pairing, nuclear architecture, and transposon and...
Characterization of biased airway smooth muscle TAS2R agonists for treating asthma
Asthma remains a major public health issue worldwide, affecting all ages and ethnicities, with 50% of patients experiencing inadequate control of the disease. Constricted airways...
Structural Biology of Dopamine Signaling
Abstract Human dopamine signaling pathway induces and facilitates dopamine neurotransmission through the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway, which modifies reward-related behaviors...
Biomarker Signatures for Delayed Cerebral Ischemia and Outcome Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Abstract Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) accounts for 5% of all strokes, has a high mortality and the cost to society is similar to ischemic stroke since subjects are much younger....
Biomaterials-based metabolic rescue of dendritic cells for vaccine design
Abstract The main goal of this proposal is to develop biomaterial-based technologies that can modulate the functions of DCs and T-cells in the draining lymph nodes in the presenc...
