C-C Motif Chemokine 5 Attenuates Angiotensin II-Dependent Kidney Injury by Limiting Renal Macrophage Infiltration.
(Am J Pathol, 2016-11)Inappropriate activation of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) is a key contributor to the pathogenesis of essential hypertension. During RAS activation, infiltration of immune cells into the kidney exacerbates hypertension ... -
c-Myc is required for maintenance of glioma cancer stem cells.
(PLoS One, 2008)BACKGROUND: Malignant gliomas rank among the most lethal cancers. Gliomas display a striking cellular heterogeneity with a hierarchy of differentiation states. Recent studies support the existence of cancer stem cells in ... -
C. elegans germline-deficient mutants respond to pathogen infection using shared and distinct mechanisms.
(PLoS One, 2010-07-26)Reproduction extracts a cost in resources that organisms are then unable to utilize to deal with a multitude of environmental stressors. In the nematode C. elegans, development of the germline shortens the lifespan of the ... -
Ca2+ channel nanodomains boost local Ca2+ amplitude.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013-09-24)Local Ca(2+) signals through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (CaVs) drive synaptic transmission, neural plasticity, and cardiac contraction. Despite the importance of these events, the fundamental relationship between flux ... -

Calcineurin activation causes retinal ganglion cell degeneration.
(Mol Vis, 2012)PURPOSE: We previously reported that calcineurin, a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine phosphatase, is activated and proposed that it participates in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis in two rodent ... -
Calcineurin Targets Involved in Stress Survival and Fungal Virulence.
(PLoS Pathog, 2016-09)Calcineurin governs stress survival, sexual differentiation, and virulence of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Calcineurin is activated by increased Ca2+ levels caused by stress, and transduces signals ... -
Calcium Dependence of Fibrin Nanomechanics: The gamma 1 Calcium Mediates the Unfolding of Fibrinogen Induced by Force Applied to the "A-a" Bond
(2010)The interactions between the constituent monomers of fibrin, the polymerized protein network that provides the structural stability of blood clots, ale frequently under stress because of the dynamic nature of blood flow ... -
Calcium dependent CAMTA1 in adult stem cell commitment to a myocardial lineage.
(PLoS One, 2012)The phenotype of somatic cells has recently been found to be reversible. Direct reprogramming of one cell type into another has been achieved with transduction and over expression of exogenous defined transcription factors ... -
Calculating Comparable Statistics from Incomparable Surveys, with an Application to Poverty in India
(2006)Applied economists are often interested in studying trends in important economic indicators, such as inequality or poverty, but comparisons over time can be made impossible by changes in data collection methodology. We describe ... -
Calibrated Embeddings in the Special Lagrangian and Coassociative Cases
(Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry, 2000-12-01)Every closed, oriented, real analytic Riemannian 3-manifold can be isometrically embedded as a special Lagrangian submanifold of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold, even as the real locus of an antiholomorphic, isometric involution. Every ... -

Calibrating single-ended fiber-optic Raman spectra distributed temperature sensing data.
(Sensors (Basel), 2011)Hydrologic research is a very demanding application of fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) in terms of precision, accuracy and calibration. The physics behind the most frequently used DTS instruments are considered ... -
"Call for prices": Strategic implications of raising consumers' costs
(Marketing Science, 2010-01-01)Many consumer durable retailers often do not advertise their prices and instead ask consumers to call them for prices. It is easy to see that this practice increases the consumers' cost of learning the prices of products ... -
Call Me Maybe: Experimental Evidence on Using Mobile Phones to Survey Microenterprises
(Economic Research Initiatives at Duke (ERID), 2016-07-27)High-frequency data is useful to measure volatility, reduce recall bias, and measure dynamic treatment effects. We conduct the first experimental evaluation of high-frequency phone surveys in a developing country or with ... -
Calmodulin dissociation regulates Myo5 recruitment and function at endocytic sites.
(EMBO J, 2010-09-01)Myosins-I are conserved proteins that bear an N-terminal motor head followed by a Tail Homology 1 (TH1) lipid-binding domain. Some myosins-I have an additional C-terminal extension (C(ext)) that promotes Arp2/3 complex-dependent ... -
Caloric restriction alters the metabolic response to a mixed-meal: results from a randomized, controlled trial.
(PLoS One, 2012)OBJECTIVES: To determine if caloric restriction (CR) would cause changes in plasma metabolic intermediates in response to a mixed meal, suggestive of changes in the capacity to adapt fuel oxidation to fuel availability or ...
