The Reliability and In-exercise Reduction of Frontal and Rotational Ultrasound Measurements for Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis Performing Scoliosis-specific Exercises
DownloadFall 2018
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a spine deformity of unknown cause characterized by abnormal lateral curvature (Cobb angle>10°) with vertebral rotation. AIS affects 2-3% of all adolescents whom are likely to progress during their growth spurt preceding skeletal maturity. The Scoliosis...

Unveiling the pathway for the nuclear translocation of the large mitochondrial enzyme Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex (PDC)
DownloadSpring 2021
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a mitochondrial enzyme that links glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation by decarboxylating glucose-derived pyruvate to produce acetyl-CoA that is used in the Krebs cycle. PDC was initially thought to reside only in the mitochondrial matrix but we recently...
