Assessment of food accessibility, availability and adherence to dietary recommendations among diabetic older adults living in subsidized retirement homes
DownloadSpring 2012
The availability and accessibility of healthy foods for type 2 diabetes patients may limit their food choices and adherence to dietary recommendations. The accessibility and availability of food for low-income, diabetic, older adults was evaluated. Information was gathered regarding self-care...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide. It has been proposed that AD pathology is transmissible by a “prion-like” mechanism through extracellular vesicles (EVs) that contain Aβ. In this context, EVs describe both microvesicles and exosomes,...

Cellular level/distribution of γ-secretase subunit nicastrin and its modulator p23 in the brain
DownloadSpring 2010
The processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretases produces amyloid β (Aβ) peptide, the principal component of the neuritic plaques found in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. The enzyme γ-secretase is a multimeric protein consisting of presenilins-1/2 (PS1/PS2), nicastrin,...

Current Issues and Regulations in Tendon Regeneration and Musculoskeletal Repair with Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Download2011-11-01
Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent stromal cells residing within the connective tissue of most organs. Their surface phenotype has been well described. Most commonly, mesenchymal stem cells demonstrate the ability to differentiate into mesenchymal tissues (bone, catailge, fat, etc...),...

Data-Driven Approaches to Modeling Heterogeneity and Variability Across Asymptomatic Brain and Cognitive Aging, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Alzheimer’s disease
DownloadSpring 2024
Objective We apply data-driven approaches to identify predictors of heterogeneous trajectories across normal aging, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In Study 1, we investigated predictors of left and right hippocampal (HC) volume trajectory classes. In Study 2, we...
