In this review, we primarily summarize recent advances in identification of GSC markers, with a particular focus on cell surface markers.

We conducted gender-stratified analyses on a systems-based candidate gene study of regions involved in nicotinic response and the brain—reward pathway in two randomized clinical trials of smoking cessation treatments (placebo,…

We used univariate, multivariate, and longitudinal logistic regression to evaluate effects on point prevalence and continuous abstinence at end of treatment in European ancestry participants in a trial randomizing participants…

Here we report on the design, synthesis, and biological characterization of novel κ opioid (KOP) receptor ligands of diphenethylamines.

This article intends to summarize the methods that are currently used for the construction of glycochips.

This unit describes a protocol to map the global proteolytic substrate specificities of complex biological samples using a concise combinatorial library of internally quenched fluorogenic peptide probes (IQFPs).

This study was designed to investigate whether the expression of interleukin 17 (IL-17) is associated with the indeterminate or cardiac clinical forms of Chagas disease and whether IL-17 expression can…

To identify Nrf2 activators for the treatment of oxidative/electrophilic stress-induced diseases, the present study developed a high-throughput assay to evaluate Nrf2 activation using AREc32 cells that contain a luciferase gene…

We evaluated recently colonized samples from Virginia and Georgia (USA) of Aedes albopictus, an important vector of chikungunya virus to determine whether they became infected with and transmitted COM125, a…

The pathogenesis of Chagas disease is complex and multifactorial involving many interactive pathways. The significance of innate immunity, including the contributions of cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species, and oxidative stress,…

To determine if control of seizures and survival are still possible without pretreatment or immediate pharmacologic intervention, we studied the anticonvulsant efficacy of the GluK1 receptor antagonist.

To determine whether the isozymes contribute differently to nigrostriatal vulnerability, the effects of 5- and 12/15-LOX deficiency on dopaminergic tone under naïve and toxicant-challenged conditions were tested.
