Delineation of molecular mechanisms of intestinal calcium absorption during postnatal development
DownloadFall 2021
Infants and children must maintain a positive calcium balance for appropriate growth. Evidence suggests that adaptations in intestinal absorption of calcium are the major determinant of this net balance. However, the molecular details of the pathways mediating this increased absorption at a young...

Phosphate is important for a variety of physiological functions, including the composition of bone via formation of the calcium-phosphate salt hydroxyapatite. Given that bone mineralization occurs very rapidly early in life, young mammals require high phosphate absorption to establish and...

Integrative analysis of the developing diaphragm provides a better understanding of congenital diaphragmatic hernia
DownloadFall 2023
Introduction: Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a condition that affects 2.3 births every 10,000 and is characterized by an incomplete formation of the diaphragm. As a result of the incomplete development of the diaphragm, the abdominal organs will protrude into the thoracic cavity,...
