  • Consequences of miRNA misregulation on embryonic development and aging

    Creator:
    Franzosa, Jill A.
    Abstract:
    microRNAs (miRNAs), ~21-24 nucleotide-long RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression, have rapidly become one of the most extensively studied mechanisms of the past decade. Since their discovery as temporal regulators of post-embryonic development in C. elegans, miRNAs have been functionally implicated in almost every cellular process investigated to date. miRNAs...

  • Intravenous regional limb perfusion with tiludronate in horses

    Creator:
    Hunter, Barbara, G.
    Abstract:
    Intravenous regional limb perfusion (IVRLP) with tiludronate is a commonly used treatment for distal limb orthopedic disease in horses, but doses and protocols are anecdotal. IVRLP exposes articular cartilage within the perfused area to tiludronate, raising concerns about safety of this treatment, as high tiludronate concentrations (≥19mg/L) were harmful for...

  • Are you Choosing the Wrong Empathy Measure?

    Creator:
    Stosic, Morgan and Fultz, Amber
    Abstract:
    The ambiguity plaguing the definition of empathy has not only been constrained to its content (i.e., assessing decoding or encoding) but how it is expressed in the individual (i.e., as a trait or ability). Any separation in the theorizing of a construct should be clearly reflected and labeled in the...
