Involvement of the GP63 protease in infection of Trichomonas vaginalis
There are 48 members of the GP63 protease family in Trichomonas vaginalis according to our annotations; 37 of them are predicted to be transmembrane proteins. Because the GP63 protease family is the largest surfa...

The Effects of Gender, Level of Co-Contraction, and Initial Angle on Elbow Extensor Muscle Stiffness and Dam** Under a Step Increase in Elbow Flexion Moment
Flexion buckling of an arm under the large ground reaction loads associated with arresting a fall to the ground increases the risk for head and thorax injuries. Yet, the factors that determine the arm buckling...

Open AccessHistotype-specific copy-number alterations in ovarian cancer
Epithelial ovarian cancer is characterized by multiple genomic alterations; most are passenger alterations which do not confer tumor growth. Like many cancers, it is a heterogeneous disease and can be broadly ...

Age and Gender Effects on the Proximal Propagation of an Impulsive Force Along the Adult Human Upper Extremity
We tested the null hypotheses that neither age, gender nor muscle pre-cocontraction state affect the latencies of changes in upper extremity kinematics or elbow muscle activity following an impulsive force to ...

Effects of Age, Gender and Level of Co-contraction on Elbow and Shoulder Rotational Stiffness and Dam** in the Impulsively End-Loaded Upper Extremity
Whether an arm will buckle under an impulsive end-load should partly depend on the elastic and viscous properties of the pretensed arm muscles. In measuring these properties we hypothesized that neither age, g...

Open AccessInducible Prmt1 ablation in adult vascular smooth muscle leads to contractile dysfunction and aortic dissection
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have remarkable plasticity in response to diverse environmental cues. Although these cells are versatile, chronic stress can trigger VSMC dysfunction, which ultimately lead...

Open AccessMitochondria-associated programmed cell death as a therapeutic target for age-related disease
Mitochondria, ubiquitous double-membrane-bound organelles, regulate energy production, support cellular activities, harbor metabolic pathways, and, paradoxically, mediate cell fate. Evidence has shown mitochon...

Open AccessA CRISPR activation screen identifies MUC-21 as critical for resistance to NK and T cell-mediated cytotoxicity
Immunotherapy has significantly advanced cancer treatments, but many patients do not respond to it, partly due to immunosuppressive mechanisms used by tumor cells. These cells employ immunosuppressive ligands ...
