Zainichi: How Violence and Naming Determine A Consciousness
(2015-05-05)The purpose of this research paper is to identify how the post-colonial Koreans (also known as zainichi) who remained in Japan after World War II form their identity. The challenge within this question lies in the fact that ... -
Zebrafish Cardiac Development Requires a Conserved Secondary Heart Field
(2011)Despite its lack of septation, the tissue patterning of the arterial pole of the zebrafish is remarkably similar to the patterning of pulmonary and aortic arterial poles observed in mouse and chick. The secondary heart ... -
Zebrafish: a see-through host and a fluorescent toolbox to probe host-pathogen interaction.
(PLoS Pathog, 2012-01) -
Zera Academy
(2016-04-28)Zera Academy is a boarding school for middle and high school aged youth who lack the access and necessary resources to achieve equitable opportunities. Zera leverages the brilliance of each child to improve educational outcomes ... -
Zero-inflated Poisson and negative binomial models for longitudinal measures with heterogeneous random effects
(Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 2015) -
Zero-temperature glass transition in two dimensions
The nature of the glass transition is theoretically understood in the mean-field limit of infinite spatial dimensions, but the problem remains totally open in physical dimensions. Nontrivial finite-dimensional fluctuations are ... -
ZFP36L3: a Unique Member of the Tristetraprolin Family of RNA-Binding Tandem Zinc Finger Proteins
(2009)Members of the tristetraprolin (TTP) family of CCCH tandem zinc finger proteins bind to AU-rich elements in the 3' untranslated regions of certain cellular mRNAs, leading to their deadenylation and destabilization. Studies ... -
Zigzag Phase Transition in Quantum Wires and Localization in the Inhomogeneous One-Dimensional Electron Gas
(2013)In this work, we study two important themes in the physics of the interacting one-dimensional (1D) electron gas: the transition from one-dimensional to higher dimensional behavior, and the role of inhomogeneity. The interplay ... -
Zinc Oxide Nanostructures: Synthesis, Doping and Growth Mechanism
(2013)Over the past decade, the study of zinc oxide (ZnO) II-VI semiconducting nanostructures has been a burgeoning research area because of this material's unique electrical and optical properties. Despite the promise of its ... -
Zincative Functionalization of C–H Bonds Using Lithium Amide Zincate Bases
(2018)Carbon–hydrogen bond functionalization is a highly desirable transformation as C–H bonds are plentiful in feedstock chemicals and the direct introduction of valuable functional groups improves atom economy and efficiency. ... -
Zines as Primary Sources
(Critical Library Pedagogy Handbook, 2017-01-03) -
ZipA and FtsA* stabilize FtsZ-GDP miniring structures.
(Sci Rep, 2017-06-16)The cytokinetic division ring of Escherichia coli comprises filaments of FtsZ tethered to the membrane by FtsA and ZipA. Previous results suggested that ZipA is a Z-ring stabilizer, since in vitro experiments it is shown ... -
β-Adrenergic Receptor Kinase-1 Levels in Catecholamine-Induced Myocardial Hypertrophy
(1999-01)Pressure overload ventricular hypertrophy is accompanied by dysfunctional β-adrenergic receptor signaling due to increased levels of the β-adrenergic receptor kinase-1, which phosphorylates and desensitizes β-adrenergic ... -
β-Arrestin Biased Signaling at the Dopamine D2 Receptor
(2018)Herein I describe studies I have undertaken that were aimed at understanding the mechanisms of achieving β-arrestin-biased signaling at the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R), methods for studying downstream mediators of ... -
β-arrestin-2 regulates NMDA receptor function in spinal lamina II neurons and duration of persistent pain.
(Nat Commun, 2016-08-19)Mechanisms of acute pain transition to chronic pain are not fully understood. Here we demonstrate an active role of β-arrestin 2 (Arrb2) in regulating spinal cord NMDA receptor (NMDAR) function and the duration of pain. ... -
β-Arrestin-2 regulates the development of allergic asthma
(Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2003-08-01)Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that is coordinated by Th2 cells in both human asthmatics and animal models of allergic asthma. Migration of Th2 cells to the lung is key to their inflammatory function ...
