Effects of Ocular Blood Flow Changes on the Efferent Activity of Cat Ciliary Nerves
Ophthalmic Research, 1985 The efferent activity of the short ciliary nerves was studied in 23 anesthetized cats. Spontaneous activity was recorded in all preparations, and 33% showed a rhythmic discharge. Ipsilateral common carotid occlusion (ICCO) at constant intraocular and arterial pressures changed the discharge frequency in 14 of 33 filaments. Of these, 13 filaments showed

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Particulate matter ⩽2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5) and its role in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) pathogenesis have gained heightened attention. We previously demonstrated that PM2.5 exposure may bias the nasal mucosa in CRS toward a Type 2 inflammatory pathway.

Engineering reconfigurable flow patterns via surface-driven light-controlled active matter [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Surface-driven flows are ubiquitous in nature, from subcellular cytoplasmic streaming to organ-scale ciliary arrays. Here, we model how confined geometries can be used to engineer complex hydrodynamic patterns driven by activity prescribed solely on the boundary.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.The present study investigates the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the chronicity of ocular inflammation in uveitis using the experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) model. Whole eyes collected from EAU mice, 12 weeks post induction, were sectioned and subjected to immunohistochemistry. The confocal images from these sections were then assessed for the

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.G‐quadruplexes (G4s) are non‐canonical DNA structures implicated in a number of biological processes. Small‐molecule ligands can alter stability and folding of G4s, which can potentially be exploited for therapeutic purposes. In this work, we investigate the interaction of telomeric DNA fragment from Tetrahymena thermophila (TET25, 5′‐G(TTGGGG)4‐3 ...

Rapid behavioral transitions produce chaotic mixing by a planktonic microswimmer [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Despite their vast morphological diversity, many invertebrates have similar larval forms characterized by ciliary bands, innervated arrays of beating cilia that facilitate swimming and feeding. Hydrodynamics suggests that these bands should tightly constrain the behavioral strategies available to the larvae; however, their apparent ubiquity suggests ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.
