Reservoir‐host amplification of disease impact in an endangered amphibian

Conservation Biology, 2016
Abstract Emerging wildlife pathogens are an increasing threat to biodiversity. One of the most serious wildlife diseases is chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which has been documented in over 500 amphibian species.

Multilayered Digital Microfluidic Chip for Cell‐Based Assays

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A multilayered digital microfluidic (mDMF) chip architecture is introduced to improve throughput and robustness in cell‐based assays. By multilayering electrode components and dielectric layers on glass, this design significantly reduces actuation voltage, maintains reliability, and enables expansion of the operational area with minimum current leakage.

Negotiating in a Foreign Land: Understanding the Curious Interactions Between Intracellular Mitochondria and Internalized Nanoparticles

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Therapeutic nano‐drug delivery systems interact with cellular mitochondria in a multitude of ways. While the complexity of such interactions disrupts the mitochondrial electron transport chain and increases reactive oxygen species production, thereby contributing to nanoparticle toxicity, they also present unique theranostic opportunities in diseases ...

Characterizing Alzheimer’s disease with reservoir computing

Communications Physics
Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by impairments in memory, cognition, and behavior. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is one of the valuable techniques for studying brain function in AD, providing insights into neural mechanisms and aiding early diagnosis. Traditional rs-

Mineral licks as environmental reservoirs of chronic wasting disease prions.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease of deer, elk, moose, and reindeer (cervids) caused by misfolded prion proteins. The disease has been reported across North America and recently discovered in northern Europe. Transmission
