Comparative Uterotrophic Effects of Endoxifen and Tamoxifen in Ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley Rats
We evaluated endoxifen using a classic uterotrophic effects method.

Compromised Frontocerebellar Circuitry Contributes to Nonplanning Impulsivity in Recovering Alcoholics
We tested the hypothesis that alcoholic patients would demonstrate compromised dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) -cerebellar functional connectivity when adjusting their strategies to accommodate uncertain conditions and would recruit compensatory…

Formulation Development and Evaluation of Innovative Two-Polymer (SR-2P) Bioadhesive Vaginal Gel
The main objective of this investigation was to study the feasibility of developing a vaginal bioadhesive microbicide using a SRI’s proprietary two-polymer gel platform (SR-2P).

Magnitude of the Impact of Hot Flashes on Sleep in Perimenopausal Women
The presence of physiological hot flashes accounts for a significant proportion of total objective time awake during the night in perimenopausal women.

Organic Cation Transporter Variation and Response to Smoking Cessation Therapies
We evaluated chr6q25.3 organic cation transporter gene (SLC22A1, SLC22A2, SLC22A3) variation and response to smoking cessation therapies.

Peer Status among Incarcerated Female Offenders: Associations with Social Behavior and Adjustment
Using a peer nomination technique in a sample of incarcerated females, our study is the first to examine the association between peer status and psychopathology in a correctional facility.

Overlapping and Distinct Molecular Determinants Dictating the Antiviral Activities of Trim56 against Flaviviruses and Coronavirus
We show that TRIM56 poses a barrier to infections by yellow fever virus (YFV), dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV2), and human coronavirus virus (HCoV) OC43 but not encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV).

Prophylactic treatment with a novel bioadhesive gel formulation containing aciclovir and tenofovir protects from HSV-2 infection
Over-the-counter access to an inexpensive, effective topical microbicide could reduce the transmission of HIV and would increase women’s control over their health and eliminate the need to obtain their partners’…

Tyrosine 308 Is Necessary for Ligand-Directed Gs-Biased Signaling of Beta2-Adrenoceptor
Here, using docking simulation and site-directed mutagenesis, we defined Tyr-308 as the key amino acid residue on β2-AR essential for Gs-biased signaling.

Interhemispheric Functional Connectivity Change Is Linked to Callosal Fiber Integrity Change over a 1-Year Follow-up in Chronic Alcoholics
We tested whether microstructural fiber changes relate to resting-state functional connectivity changes in alcoholics who have maintained sobriety during a one-year interval, and whether these changes are beyond those potentially…

The α7 nicotinic receptor agonist ABT-107 protects against nigrostriatal damage in rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions.
The finding that smoking is inversely correlated with Parkinson’s disease and that nicotine attenuates nigrostriatal damage in Parkinsonian animals supports the idea that nicotine may be neuroprotective.
