Functional MRI Studies of Health Behaviors
(2010-03)
People make hundreds of health decisions everyday - for example, what and how much to eat, whether to exercise, whether to use drugs such as nicotine and alcohol and, if so, how much. Health behaviors have a cumulative ...
New Insights Revealed by Genetic Studies and the Future of Treating Bone Health Related Issues
(2010-03)
This presentation will examine the major role played by genetic studies in the identification of a fundamental pathway, the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and it's now appreciated multiple roles in bone cell biology. ...

Mechanism-based Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Rescues Brain from Focal Cerebral Ischemia-induced Damage and Improve Neurological Outcomes in Mice [abstract]
(2010-02)
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the US and the primary cause of long-term disability. Acute ischemic stroke, the most common form of stroke, is caused by clotting in the cerebral arteries leading to brain ...
Quantitative Profiling of S-Nitrosylated Proteins in Parkinson's Disease Paradigms for the Effects of Botanical Phenolics [abstract]
(2010-02)
A convergent feature for most aging-related neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), is excessive generation of free radicals - reactive nitrogen and oxygen species, which can contribute to neuronal cell ...
Comparative oncology and clinical translation of glyco protein conjugated gold nano therapeutic agent (GA-198AuNP) [abstract]
