A High-Throughput Fluorescence Polarization Assay for Inhibitors of Gyrase B
The assay performed with an average Z′ factor of 0.80 and was able to identify GyrB inhibitors from a screening library.

Relationship Between Circulating Platelet Counts and Ductus Arteriosus Patency After Indomethacin Treatment
In contrast to the evidence in mice, low circulating platelet counts do not affect permanent ductus closure (or ductus reopening) in human preterm infants.

Fiber Tracking Functionally Distinct Components of the Internal Capsule
To examine the microstructural condition of this fiber system and to test functional correlates of its sectors in health and aging, adults were examined with diffusion tensor imaging fiber tracking…

A. Diamino-1,2,4-Triazole Derivatives are Selective Inhibitors of TYK2 and JAK1 Over JAK2 and JAK3
Presented is the design and synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles, and the evaluation of their inhibitory activity against the Janus associated kinases TYK2 and JAKs 1–3.

Computational Databases, Pathway and Cheminformatics Tools for Tuberculosis Drug Discovery
Cheminformatic techniques have been leveraged and are examined in this review. We suggest that these computational approaches should be optimally integrated within a workflow with experimental approaches to accelerate TB…

In Vivo MRSI of Hyperpolarized [1-13C]Pyruvate Metabolism in Rat Hepatocellular Carcinoma
We implemented a three-dimensional MRSI sequence to investigate this potential hallmark of cellular metabolism in rat livers bearing HCC (n = 7 buffalo rats).

Neurocircuitry of Emotion and Cognition in Alcoholism: Contributions from White Matter Fiber Tractography
An understanding of the role of cortico-limbic fiber degradation in emotional dysregulation in alcoholism is now emerging.

Captopril Increases the Intensity of Monocyte Infection By Trypanosoma Cruzi and Induces Human T Helper Type 17 Cells
Here we showed that captopril increases the intensity of T. cruzi infection of human monocytes in vitro. The increased parasitism was accompanied by up-regulated expression of ACE in human monocytes.

Ubiquitin Accumulation in Autophagy-Deficient Mice Is Dependent on the Nrf2-Mediated Stress Response Pathway: a Potential Role for Protein Aggregation in Autophagic Substrate Selection
We show that tissue-specific disruption of the essential autophagy genes Atg5 and Atg7 leads to the accumulation of all detectable Ub–Ub topologies, arguing against the hypothesis that any particular Ub linkage serves as a…

β2 Adrenergic Receptor Agonists Inhibit the Proliferation of 1321N1 Astrocytoma Cells
Experiments were conducted to determine whether the β2-AR agonist (R,R′)-fenoterol and other β2-AR agonists could attenuate mitogenesis and, if so, by what mechanism.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Aging and Age-Related Neurodegenerative Disorders
This chapter reviews evidence for changes in normal aging as the context for establishing abnormalities marking neurological and psychiatric conditions...
