The analysis of wide-angle cellular light scattering patterns is a challenging problem. Small changes to the organization, orientation, shape, and optical properties of scatterers and scattering populations can significantly alter their complex two-dimensional scattering signatures. Because of...

Contributions of Bim and Nur77 to multiple mechanisms of T cell tolerance following high affinity antigen encounter
DownloadSpring 2015
Prevention of autoimmune disease requires the elimination or inactivation of T cells that are highly reactive to self-peptides. During T cell development in the thymus, self-reactive thymocytes undergo negative selection upon receiving a high affinity T cell receptor (TCR) signal following...

Development of Polymeric Micelles for Site Specific Delivery of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Effect on the Cardiovascular Risk in an Experimental Model of Arthritis
DownloadFall 2019
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, are among the most widely used medications worldwide with proven efficacy in controlling inflammation and pain associated various disease conditions. The chronic systemic use of most NSAIDs, however, is...

Drug-disease interaction: effect of inflammation on the pharmacological response to calcium channel blockers
DownloadFall 2010
The present research is focused on the topic of inflammation-drug interaction. Inflammation complicates many human diseases and conditions ranging from obesity to cancer. Therefore, the study of the effect of inflammation on drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is pivotal. First, we tested...

The pathological events initiating diabetic cardiac changes in response to chronic hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia remain unclear. Due to the high metabolic activity of the heart, and its sensitivity to acute changes in oxygen and substrate flux, mitochondrial dysfunction has been proposed as...

Effects of Egg White Derived Peptides on Metabolic Syndrome Complications: Hypertension, Inflammation, and Insulin resistance
DownloadSpring 2018
Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of several abnormalities of hypertension, inflammation, glucose intolerance and dyslipidemia, enhances a personâs risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The number of people with MetS is increasing largely worldwide. The multi-faceted nature of...

Effects of Inflammation and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on Renin-Angiotensin System and Cytochrome P450 Metabolites of Arachidonic Acid
DownloadSpring 2016
Patients suffering from inflammatory disorders are at higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality compared to general population. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to treat pain and inflammation associated with inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid...

Multiple sources suggest that insulin resistance and derangements of cardiac metabolism are among the earliest signs of type-2 diabetes detected in the heart. Unfortunately, limited evidence reflects early changes in cardiac mitochondrial metabolism linked to the development of this disease....
