Research and commercialization for converting oily biomass into usable dry products in non-oily and free-flowing form [abstract]
(2010-10)
A major environmental problem in food, feed, and biodiesel industries is how to deal with their oily byproducts and wastes, which are in oily and viscous liquid form and easy to be rancid. There are many food, feed and ...
Novel mini/micro-dystrophin genes restore nNOS to the sarcolemma and improve the therapeutic outcome for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy [abstract]
(2010-10)
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscle disease caused by mutations of the dystrophin gene. Gene replacement therapy represents a very promising approach to cure this disease. The dystrophin gene is one of the largest ...
Relative study between anti-EGFR and GE-11 peptide conjugated gold nanoparticles for in vivo targeting in pancreatic cancer [abstract]
(2010-10)
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States due to its severe aggressiveness and lethal malignancy. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is over expressed in more than 95% ...
Novel compounds to treat urinary tract infection [abstract]
(2010-10)
Urinary tract infections (UTI) affect a large proportion of the population and account for significant morbidity and high medical costs. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is responsible for up to 85% of infections and ...
New inhibitor suppresses foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) [abstract]
(2010-10)
Foot-and-mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) is a positive stranded picornavirus that can infect cloven-hoofed animals, such as cattle, pigs and sheep, and lead to severe losses in livestock production. The delay in eradication or ...
Recrystallized laser deposited materials [abstract]
(2010-10)
This technology is a direct metal deposit with friction a friction stir process that results in a finished aggregated piece with comparable full structural quality to a wholly forged piece. This means that a broken part ...
An automatic cap arrangement scoring device [abstract]
(2010-10)
Poor color vision can be inherited (an estimated 8% of men and .5% of women have a congenital color vision defect) or acquired as the result of disease, certain medications, trauma, aging, or exposure to particular chemicals ...
Cell lines for the study of bone formation and regulation [abstract]
(2010-10)
UMKC Researchers have developed novel cell lines that are useful in the examination of osteocyte function, biomineralization, SOST/sclerostin, FGF23 and other mechanisms of osteoblast-to-osteocyte differentiation. The two ...
Novel genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease progression [abstract]
(2010-10)
Researchers at Washington University have identified a novel genetic variant that strongly correlates with disease progression. Dr. Alison Goate and collaborators used an established biomarker for the decline of AD patients ...
Two novel biomarkers for early diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma [abstract]
(2010-10)
Urinary aquaporin-I (AQP-1) and adipose differentiation-related protein (ADFP) as biomarkers of kidney cancer. This is a new process, applicable to humans, for 1) early and noninvasive detection of renal cancer, 2) population ...
Smart rocks for integrated monitoring and mitigation of bridge scour ready for triage [abstract]
(2010-10)
Scour is a process in which a fluid erodes material supporting a structure. When scour occurs near a bridge, the associated erosion can cause that bridge to collapse. Bridge collapses occur in hours or days. To prevent ...
Radioisotope micorbattery [sic] based on liquid semiconductors [abstract]
(2010-10)
The solid state semiconductors in state of the art betavoltaic micro batteries result in poor coupling between the rectified junction and the semiconductor junction and degradation of the conversion device, which has been ...
Hip structure and locomotion in ambulatory and cursorial carnivores reinvestigated [abstract]
(2010)
Understanding how the femoral head articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis should allow one to infer the pattern of hip mobility in living and fossil species. In 1977, Jenkins and Camazine analyzed cineradiographic ...
Sleep deprivation causes epigenetic changes in the basal forebrain [abstract]
(2010)
Today's work pressure has lead people to curtail their sleep. However, all of the consequences of sleep deprivation are not clear. Histone acetylation is a key epigenetic mechanism responsible for controlling gene expression. ...
Selective attenuation of carotid-cardiac responses to hypertension at the onset of static handgrip in humans [abstract]
(2010)
Previous studies have indicated that at the onset of exercise cardiac baroreflex function is reduced in an intensity-dependent manner, which appears to be mediated by a blunted ability to buffer hypertensive challenges. ...
Anatomy, histology, and ontogeny of the sesamoid cartilage in the jaw muscles of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) [abstract]
(2010)
The cartilago transiliens is a characteristic cartilaginous nodule inside crocodilian jaw muscles. Encased by a fibrous sheath, the cartilago transiliens lies between the pterygoid buttress and the mandible, providing ...
The effects of the interaction of animals with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and their families [abstract]
(2010)
The CDC estimates that one in 110 children receive a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) annually. Pet dogs have been found to be a social catalyst and service dogs have demonstrated measurable benefits for children ...
Improved cardiac left ventricle imaging using multiparametric strain analysis (MPS) [abstract]
