We employed quasielastic and static light scattering to measure apparent values of the mean hydrodynamic radii (Rh)app, molecular weights (Mapp), and radii of gyration (Rg)app in solutions containing mixed micelles composed of bile salts (cholate and taurochenodeoxycholate, both cholanoyl derivatives) and the glycoacyl chain detergent, octyl glucoside, with egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) a...

Mitochondrial dysfunction and synaptic damage are early pathological features of the Alzheimer's disease-affected brain. Memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease is a manifestation of brain pathologies such as accumulation of amyloid-β peptide and mitochondrial damage. The underlying pathogenic mechanisms and effective disease-modifying therapies for Alzheimer's disease remain elusive. Here, we...

Small and large macromolecular activators of phagocytosis from platelets (S-MAPP and L-MAPP, respectively) are released from activated platelets and enhance Fcγ receptor-mediated phagocytosis by neutrophils. Platelets stored in the form of platelet concentrates lose their MAPPproducing activity within 48 h, but recover it when incubated in dialyzed plasma against PBS and supplemented with Ca++....

The Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network is an ongoing multi-center collaborative research group established to conduct integrated studies in participants with urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS). The goal of these investigations is to provide new insights into the etiology, natural history, clinical, demographic and behavioral charact...

BACKGROUND COMPASS (Comprehensive Assessment, Strategic Success) is the Florida Department of Health's community health assessment and health improvement planning initiative. Since 2002, COMPASS built state and county health department infrastructure to support a comprehensive, systematic, and integrated approach to community health assessment and planning. METHODS To assess the capacity of F...

Within the neuroimaging community, coordinate based meta-analyses (CBMAs) are essential for aggregating findings across studies and testing whether those studies report similar anatomical locations. This approach has been predominantly applied to studies that focus on whether activation of a brain region is associated with a given psychological process. In a recent paper, we used CBMA to examin...
