Cavitation in Linear Bubbles
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)Recent work has developed a beautiful model system for studying the energy focusing and heating power of collapsing bubbles. The bubble is effectively one-dimensional and the collapse and heating can be quantitatively ... -
Cavity electro-optics in thin-film lithium niobate
(2022-05-16)Quantum networks of superconducting qubits linked by optical channels could leverage both the quantum information processing capabilities of superconducting circuits and the long communication distances provided by optical ... -
CBL and the Negative Regulation of Cytokine Receptor Signaling
(2020-11-23)Cytokines play an essential role in the growth, differentiation, and effector functions of hematopoietic cells. The control of cytokine-mediated signaling is critical to maintaining both cellular- and organismal-level ... -
Cbx Proteins Help ESCs Walk the Line between Self-Renewal and Differentiation
(Elsevier BV, 2012)The Polycomb repressive complexes (PRC) regulate self-renewal and differentiation in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). In this issue of "Cell Stem Cell," Morey et al. (2012) and O'Loghlen et al. (2012) report that dynamic ... -
CCT Chaperonin Complex Is Required for the Biogenesis of Functional Plk1
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)Experiments from several different organisms have demonstrated that polo-like kinases are involved in many aspects of mitosis and cytokinesis. Here, we provide evidence to show that Plk1 associates with chaperonin-containing ... -

CD39 Expression Identifies Terminally Exhausted CD8+ T Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Exhausted T cells express multiple co-inhibitory molecules that impair their function and limit immunity to chronic viral infection. Defining novel markers of exhaustion is important both for identifying and potentially ... -
CD4 Aptamer-SiRNA Chimeras (CD4-AsiCs) Knockdown Gene Expression in CD4+ Cells and Inhibit HIV Transmission
(2013-02-08)The continued spread of HIV underscores the need to interrupt transmission. One attractive strategy is a topical microbicide. Sexual transmission of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in mice can be inhibited by intravaginal ... -
CD4 T Cells Regulate Adenovirus Vector-Elicited Cellular and Humoral Immune Responses
(2016-01-08)The processes that regulate viral vector vaccine-elicited cellular and humoral immune responses remain poorly defined. Thus, in this thesis, the role of CD4+ T cells – master regulators of adaptive immunity – in modulating ... -
CD4+ T cell responses to the intracellular pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis
(2024-01-05)Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) is the most common cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in both men and women. Immunity to C. trachomatis involves many cell types, but CD4+ T cells play a crucial ... -
CD8 T Cell Response Maturation Defined by Anentropic Specificity and Repertoire Depth Correlates with SIVΔnef-induced Protection
(Public Library of Science, 2015)The live attenuated simian immunodeficiency virus (LASIV) vaccine SIVΔnef is one of the most effective vaccines in inducing protection against wild-type lentiviral challenge, yet little is known about the mechanisms ... -
CD8+ T Cells Restrict Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Infection: Bypass of Anti-Phagocytosis by Targeting Antigen-Presenting Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2009)All Yersinia species target and bind to phagocytic cells, but uptake and destruction of bacteria are prevented by injection of anti-phagocytic Yop proteins into the host cell. Here we provide evidence that CD8+ T cells, ... -
The Cdc42 inhibitor secramine B prevents cAMP-induced K+ conductance in intestinal epithelial cells
(Elsevier BV, 2006)Cyclic AMP- (cAMP) and calcium-dependent agonists stimulate chloride secretion through the coordinated activation of distinct apical and basolateral membrane channels and ion transporters in mucosal epithelial cells. Defects ... -
The cdx Genes and Retinoic Acid Control the Positioning and Segmentation of the Zebrafish Pronephros
(Public Library of Science, 2007)Kidney function depends on the nephron, which comprises a blood filter, a tubule that is subdivided into functionally distinct segments, and a collecting duct. How these regions arise during development is poorly understood. ... -
Cdx4 Is Dispensable for Murine Adult Hematopoietic Stem Cells but Promotes MLL-AF9-Mediated Leukemogenesis
(Ferrata Storti Foundation (Haematologica), 2010)Background: Cdx4 is a homeobox gene essential for normal blood formation during embryonic development in the zebrafish, through activation of posterior Hox genes. However, its role in adult mammalian hematopoiesis has not ... -
Celebrating Soft Matter's 10th anniversary: Testing the foundations of classical entropy: colloid experiments
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2015)By performing experiments on colloids, one can establish that certain definitions of the classical entropy fit the data, while others in the literature do not. -

Celebrities’ impact on health-related knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and status outcomes: protocol for a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression analysis
(BioMed Central, 2017)Background: Celebrities are highly influential people whose actions and decisions are watched and often emulated by wide audiences. Many celebrities have used their prominent social standing to offer medical advice or ... -
Cell Aging in Relation to Stress Arousal and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors
(Elsevier, 2006)We previously reported that psychological stress is linked to and possibly accelerates cellular aging, as reflected by tower PBMC telomerase and shortened tetomeres. Psychological stress is a major risk factor for ... -
The Cell Cycle and Differentiation in Stem Cells
(2013-03-08)The relationship between cellular proliferation and differentiation is a major topic in cell biology. What we know comes from models of somatic cell differentiation, where it is widely viewed that cycling and differentiation ...
