Hippocampal neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in major depressive disorder: a high field MRI study
DownloadFall 2012
The hippocampus is a brain structure responsible for memory, learning, and the stress response; it is also used as a model for major depressive disorder (MDD) in preclinical studies. Preclinical models have shown that the hippocampal subfields are differentially affected by chronic stress....

Innate Immunity and the Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Gene Therapy for Inherited Retinal Disorders
DownloadFall 2021
Background: The photoreceptors are post-mitotic (no longer dividing), so the eye has evolved several unique immunological mechanisms to protect the photoreceptors and prevent vision loss. Inherited retinal disorders occur when mutations disrupt normal retinal function and photoreceptors die....

Image segmentation is the problem of assigning 2D pixels or 3D voxels to a set of finite labels. In particular, in medical imaging, the goal of segmentation is to partition an MRI or CT image into regions that are relevant to the biology of a particular disease, for example the motor cortex in...

Understanding human immunodeficiency-1 (HIV-1) replication and latency in different reservoirs is an ongoing challenge in the care of patients with HIV/AIDS. A mathematical model was created that predicted HIV-1 and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection dynamics within the brain during...

Prophylactic ciprofloxacin treatment prevented high mortality, and modified systemic and intestinal immune function in tumour-bearing rats receiving dose-intensive CPT-11 chemotherapy
Download2009
Baracos, Vickie E., Xue, Hongyu, Sawyer, Michael B., Field, Catherine J
Infectious complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality from dose-intensive cancer chemotherapy. In spite of the importance of intestinal bacteria translocation in these infections, information about the effect of high-dose chemotherapy on gut mucosal immunity is minimal. We studied...

The Role of Haemocytes in the Immune Response of Biomphalaria glabrata against Schistosoma mansoni: Investigations into Haematopoiesis and Pattern Recognition Receptors
DownloadSpring 2018
Snails (Gastropoda) serve as hosts for the larval development of many medically and agriculturally important digenean trematodes (parasitic flatworms), including schistosomes, blood flukes that collectively infect more than 260 million people globally. Compatibility between snails and digeneans...

The inflammatory response is a complex biological process initiated following the recognition of noxious stimuli. It is composed of an elaborate cascade of both pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, essential for effective defenses against infection, the removal of damaged cells, and the...
