Genetic and Environmental Determinants of Human NK Cell Diversity Revealed by Mass Cytometry
To provide an unprecedented understanding of NK cell repertoire diversity, we used mass cytometry to simultaneously analyze 37 parameters, including 28 NK cell receptors, on peripheral blood NK cells from…

Quantitative LC-MS/MS Analysis of Seven Ginsenosides and Three Aconitum Alkaloids in Shen-Fu Decoction
We successfully developed a rapid resolution liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (RRLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous analysis of seven ginsenosides and three aconitum alkaloids in Shen-Fu decoction, the…

Women with Dysmenorrhea Are Hypersensitive to Experimental Deep Muscle Pain across the Menstrual Cycle
We investigated whether women with primary dysmenorrhea are hyperalgesic to deep muscle pain induced by a cleanly nociceptive method of hypertonic saline injection.

The Acute Effects of Alcohol on Sleep Architecture in Late Adolescence
This study examined the effect of alcohol on sleep architecture in women and men aged 18–21 years and whether previously reported sleep architecture effects may have been as an artificial…

Racial/Ethnic Differences in Hospital Use and Cost among a Statewide Population of Children with Down Syndrome
This study generated population-based estimates of hospital use and cost to 3 years of age by race/ethnicity among children with DS in Massachusetts using birth certificates linked to birth defects registry and…

Targeting Inhibitor 2 of Protein Phosphatase 2A as a Therapeutic Strategy for Prostate Cancer Treatment
In this study we hypothesized that targeting the inhibition of I2PP2A’s multiple functions in prostate cancer cells might prevent cancer progression.

A Selective Insular Perfusion Deficit Contributes to Compromised Salience Network Connectivity in Recovering Alcoholic Men
We propose that attenuated insular CBF is a mechanism underlying compromised connectivity among salience network nodes. This local perfusion deficit in alcoholics has the potential to impair ability to switch…

Suppression of Inflammation with Conditional Deletion of the Prostaglandin E2 EP2 Receptor in Macrophages and Brain Microglia
We investigated the cell-specific in vivo function of PGE2 signaling through its E-prostanoid 2 (EP2) receptor in murine innate immune responses systemically and in the CNS.

Measuring Mitochondrial Metabolism in Rat Brain in Vivo Using Mr Spectroscopy of Hyperpolarized [2-C-13]Pyruvate
In this study, single-time-point chemical shift imaging data were acquired from rat brain in vivo. [5-13C]Glutamate, [1-13C]acetylcarnitine and [1-13C]citrate were detected in addition to resonances from [2-13C]Pyr and [2-13C]Lac.

Nicotinic Receptor Agonists Reduce l-DOPA–Induced Dyskinesias in a Monkey Model of Parkinson’s Disease
Here, we investigated whether nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists reduced LIDs in nonhuman primates.
