Our goal is to scintigraphically detect, stage and ultimately treat ovarian carcinomas, using radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies preferentially reactive with epithelial ovarian carcinomas. Monoclonal antibodies raised against ovarian cancer, already shown capable of radiolocalizing human ovarian carcinoma xenografts in...

ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder of undetermined etiology and without effective therapeutics. Recent advances in genomic approaches have led to the identification of over 65 ASD risk genes. Despite the genetic heterogeneity of ASD, several lines of evidence suggest th...

Chronobiology is the study of biological rhythms. There are a number of chronobiological effects which may have important clinical implications for antitumor therapies. For example, chronobiological effects on the replication of some types of tumor cells, the expression of certain drug toxicities, and the number of cyt...

Neutrophil priming following trauma and sepsis is a key event implicated in causing Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and Multi-Organ Failure Syndrome (MOSF). Priming of the respiratory burst by cytokines following injury and sepsis results in excessive superoxide production by NADPH oxidase leading to auto-in...

Alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) cover the alveolar surface of the lung, which is the major acid-excreting organ in mammals. Because these cells are subject to an inconstant extracellular milieu with respect to pCO2, the regulation of intracellular pH (pHi) in alveolar epithelial cells is of particular significance. In ...

Abstract - Project 4: Cure rates for pediatric patients with relapsed or metastatic solid tumors remain unacceptably low. Cancer immunotherapies hold great promise, but scores of disappointing studies highlight our relative ignorance in understanding the immunosuppressive microenvironment within solid tumors. Because o...

The pulmonary involvement in disorders of immune or inflammatory regulation can range from a primary manifestation such as with sarcoidosis or a relatively minor manifestations such as seen with the Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease immune deficiencies. While both of these can be associated with granulo...

Understanding how memory develops in the immune system is an important issue in basic science and in clinical medicine, both in terms of promoting an immune response and, conversely, in blocking the pathway that leads to an overactive state (allergy, autoimmunity). However, the mechanisms underlying the generation of m...

We established that neurons present in dorsal root ganglia (DRG), similar to leukocytes, express a wide variety of receptors for cytokines, chemokines, opioids, anandamide and other neuropeptides. We previously showed that prior exposure to chemokines such as MIP1αresults in PKC mediated desensitization of the...

DESCRIPTION: It is hypothesized that estrogen deficiency induces a decrease in the rate of fat oxidation which leads to accelerated gain of visceral fat mass and its associated insulin resistance. It is further hypothesized that viscera fat accumulation will be prevented by hormone replacement therapy through restorati...

Our knowledge about the organisation of cells, biological specimen structures, composition and properties in submicroscopic detail of biological samples is associated to a large extent to transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Electron Microscopy Core (EM Core) Facility provides advice, technical services, trainin...

Chronic cigarette smoking is very common in alcohol use disorders (AUD). Nevertheless, the effects of chronic smoking on in-vivo measures of brain injury in alcohol-dependent individuals have not been studied. Thus, it is unknown if the full extent of brain atrophy, cell membrane and microstructural injury, derangement...

A method for attaching fluorescent receptor groups at specific sites in large RNA molecules will be developed. The sensitivity of the labels to the solvent environment and to energy transfer from nucleic acid bases, proteins, and metal ions will be used as a way of investigating RNA secondary and tertiary structure. A ...
