Dissecting the erotic : art and sexuality in mid-Victorian medical anatomy
… associations in anatomical texts. Artistic medical anatomy’s rejection was driven by its links to problematic erotic traditions. Specifically, anatomy’s proximity to pseudo-medical pornography, the same-sex eroticism of the Hellenic tradition, and the problem of the male and female nude in …

Concerning the Innervation of the Upper Dentition in Man
<p>The primary objectives of this study were to determine: 1) the pathway of the superior alveolar nerves and their relation to the maxillary molar tooth buds in the fetal and neonatal specimens and in the child, and 2) whether nerve fibers entered any microscopically-observed tooth buds.</p>

The mGluR2/3 Agonist LY397268 Improves Morphometric and Behavioral Outcomes in R6/2 Huntington's Disease Mice
<p>A prominent theory for the pathology of Huntington's Disease (HD) is the excitotoxic injury to the striatum. Continual exposure of ionotropic NMDA receptors to glutamate from the cortex can be excitotoxic in HD and leave striatal neurons vulnerable to damage. Activation of presynaptic mGluR2/3 …

Microgravity Exerts an Age-Dependent Effect on Cardiovascular Progenitor Cell Development
<p>The heart and its cellular components are profoundly altered by missions to space and injury on Earth. Increasing evidence has identified that one such alteration induced by spaceflight is the promotion of the efficacious use of stem cells in therapies on Earth. For this reason, neonatal and …

Calcium Channel Dysfunction in Huntington’s Disease
<p> Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant degenerative disease that is caused by an expansion mutation in the huntingtin protein that lengthens a naturally occurring trinucleotide CAG repeat in exon 1 resulting in striatal degeneration. The mechanism by which striatal neurons undergo …

Microglia and Complement in Alzheimer's Disease with Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
<p>Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and completely lacks any viable, long-term therapeutic intervention. This is partly due to an incomplete understanding of AD etiology and the possible confounding factors associated with its genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity. …

Machine Learning Classification of Traumatic Brain Injury Patients Versus Healthy Controls Using Arterial Spin Labeled Perfusion MRI
<p>Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of death and disability worldwide, yet accurate<em> in vivo</em> detection of TBI neuropathology remains challenging due to complexities in the structural and functional changes observed post-injury as well as limitations in …

Mechanism of Lmx1b-regulated Limb Dorsalization
Lmx1b, a LIM homeodomain transcription factor is necessary for limb, kidney, eye, and central nervous system development. Lmx1b knockout (KO) mice display; abnormal limb dorsalization with distal ventral-ventral limbs, nephropathy, ocular malformations, loss of dopaminergic/serotonergic neurons, …

Characterization of Palmitic Acid Induced Lipotoxicity in Schwann Cells
<p>Lipotoxicity is a response to lipid overload that has been associated with cellular dysfunction leading to cellular death. The mechanism of lipotoxicity and its impact on the nervous system is critical as it can lead to debilitating neurological conditions. This study examines key cellular …

TSLP-induced Mechanisms and Potential Therapies for CRLF2 B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
<p>Childhood CRLF2 B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (CRLF2 B-ALL) is a high-risk form of leukemia that is associated with poor patient survival outcomes. CRLF2 B-ALL is five times more prevalent in Hispanic children than others and is associated with a higher rate of relapse, thus contributing …
