    Description

    Nonarthritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) commonly causes sudden optic nerve (ON)-related vision loss. The rodent NAION model (rAION) closely resembles NAION in presentation and physiological responses. Researchers hypothesized that blocking pro-inflammatory prostaglandin (PGE2) production by inhibiting monoacylglycerol lipase or cyclooxygenase activity and co-administering PGJ2 would...

    Description

    The rodent model of nonarthritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (rNAION) is similar in many of its pathophysiological responses to clinical NAION. Like human NAION, there is significant variability in the severity of the lesion produced, and little is known of the parameters associated with rNAION induction severity or if pre- or early post-induction biomarkers can be identified that enable prediction...

    Description

    Researchers present an optimized protocol for single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) that is fast, low, cost, and time effective due to the elimination of cell sorting and ultra-centrifugation. Both human and mouse tissue biopsies were assessed. Human kidney graft biopsies were collected from five kidney transplant recipients. Mouse needle biopsies were collected from heart, liver, kidney, spleen,...

    Refinement of a Live Attenuated Salmonella enterica Serovat Newport Vaccine with Improved Safety

    Description

    Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is responsible for approximately 93 million cases of gastroenteritis annually. Little research has been directed towards a development of vaccines against Salmonella serogroups O:6,7 or O:8. Researchers constructed a live attenuated serogroup O:8 vaccine, CVS 1979, by deleting guaBA, htrA, and aroA from the genome of S. Newport. Over the course of 6 weeks, 6 to 8-week-old...

    OAI
    Description

    Four clinical centers participated in this 11 year, prospective observational study of knee osteoarthritis. The goal of the research was to identify biochemical, genetic, and imaging biomarkers associated with the development and progression of osteoarthritis. Evaluation of the cumulative data in comparison with structural and/or clinical outcomes is expected to provide insights into the prevention...
