Fine Structural Localization of Cholesterol-1,2-3h in Degenerating and Regenerating Mouse Sciatic Nerve
(Rockefeller University Press, 1972)The localization of 3H-labeled cholesterol in nerves undergoing degeneration and regeneration was studied by radioautography at the electron microscope level. Two types of experiments were carried out: (a) Cholesterol-1,2-3H ... -
Fine-mapping identifies two additional breast cancer susceptibility loci at 9q31.2
(Oxford University Press, 2015)We recently identified a novel susceptibility variant, rs865686, for estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer at 9q31.2. Here, we report a fine-mapping analysis of the 9q31.2 susceptibility locus using 43 160 cases and 42 ... -
Fine-mapping in the MHC region accounts for 18% additional genetic risk for celiac disease
(2015)Although dietary gluten is the trigger, celiac disease risk is strongly influenced by genetic variation in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region. We fine-mapped the MHC association signal to identify additional ... -
Fine-mapping of 150 breast cancer risk regions identifies 191 likely target genes
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01)Genome-wide association studies have identified breast cancer risk variants in over 150 genomic regions, but the mechanisms underlying risk remain largely unknown. These regions were explored by combining association ... -
Fine-Mapping of Common Genetic Variants Associated with Colorectal Tumor Risk Identified Potential Functional Variants
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with colorectal cancer risk. These SNPs may tag correlated variants with biological importance. Fine-mapping ... -
Fine-Mapping the Genetic Association of the Major Histocompatibility Complex in Multiple Sclerosis: HLA and Non-HLA Effects
(Public Library of Science, 2013)The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region is strongly associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility. HLA-DRB1*15:01 has the strongest effect, and several other alleles have been reported at different levels ... -
Fine-Mapping the HOXB Region Detects Common Variants Tagging a Rare Coding Allele: Evidence for Synthetic Association in Prostate Cancer
(Public Library of Science, 2014)The HOXB13 gene has been implicated in prostate cancer (PrCa) susceptibility. We performed a high resolution fine-mapping analysis to comprehensively evaluate the association between common genetic variation across the ... -
Fine-tuning of macrophage activation using synthetic rocaglate derivatives
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Drug-resistant bacteria represent a significant global threat. Given the dearth of new antibiotics, host-directed therapies (HDTs) are especially desirable. As IFN-gamma (IFNγ) plays a central role in host resistance to ... -
Fingolimod modulates multiple neuroinflammatory markers in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Sphingosine 1-phosphate (SP1) receptors may be attractive targets for modulation of inflammatory processes in neurodegenerative diseases. Recently fingolimod, a functional S1P1 receptor antagonist, was introduced for ... -
Fingolimod promotes peripheral nerve regeneration via modulation of lysophospholipid signaling
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: The lysophospholipids sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are pleiotropic signaling molecules with a broad range of physiological functions. Targeting the S1P1 receptor on lymphocytes ... -
Firefighters and On-duty Deaths From Coronary Heart Disease: A Case Control Study
(BioMed Central, 2003)Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is responsible for 45% of on-duty deaths among United States firefighters. We sought to identify occupational and personal risk factors associated with on-duty CHD death. Methods: ... -
The First 500 Registrations to the Research Registry®: Advancing Registration of Under-Registered Study Types
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)Introduction: The Declaration of Helsinki 2013 encourages the registration of all research studies involving human participants. However, emphasis has been placed on prospective clinical trials, and it is estimated that ... -
The First International Mini-Symposium on Methionine Restriction and Lifespan
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)It has been 20 years since the Orentreich Foundation for the Advancement of Science, under the leadership Dr. Norman Orentreich, first reported that low methionine (Met) ingestion by rats extends lifespan (Orentreich et ... -
The first NINDS/NIBIB consensus meeting to define neuropathological criteria for the diagnosis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015)Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegeneration characterized by the abnormal accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein within the brain. Like many other neurodegenerative conditions, at present, CTE ... -
First Results From the IllustrisTNG Simulations: Matter and Galaxy Clustering
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-12-22)Hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation have now reached sufficient volume to make precision predictions for clustering on cosmologically relevant scales. Here, we use our new IllustrisTNG simulations to study the ... -
First translational ‘Think Tank’ on cerebrovascular disease, cognitive impairment and dementia
(BioMed Central, 2016)Abstract and introduction to the workshop As the human population continues to age, an increasing number of people will exhibit significant deficits in cognitive function and dementia. It is now recognized that cerebrovascular, ... -
First-Episode of Synthetic Cannabinoid-Induced Psychosis in a Young Adult, Successfully Managed with Hospitalization and Risperidone
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016)Synthetic cannabinoids- (SCs-) induced psychosis is a growing public health concern. It leads to significant impairment, including emotional distress, difficulty communicating, and other debilitating symptoms. In this case ... -
First-Episode Schizophrenic Psychosis Differs From First-Episode Affective Psychosis and Controls in P300 Amplitude Over Left Temporal Lobe
(American Medical Association (AMA), 1998)Background: Schizophrenia is associated with central (sagittal) midline reductions of the P300 cognitive event-related potential and topographic asymmetry of P300, with reduced left temporal voltage. This P300 asymmetry ... -
A First-Generation Multi-Functional Cytokine for Simultaneous Optical Tracking and Tumor Therapy
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Creating new molecules that simultaneously enhance tumor cell killing and permit diagnostic tracking is vital to overcoming the limitations rendering current therapeutic regimens for terminal cancers ineffective. Accordingly, ... -
