• Ehrlichia chaffeensis TRP47 enters the nucleus via a MYND-binding domain-dependent mechanism and predominantly binds enhancers of host genes associated with signal transduction, cytoskeletal organization, and immune response 

  Kibler, Clayton Eugene; 0000-0002-1900-2351

  Ehrlichia chaffeensis is an obligately intracellular bacterium that establishes infection in mononuclear phagocytes through largely undefined reprogramming strategies including modulation of host gene transcription. In ...

  Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic arbovirus that causes significant morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals. In humans, the disease manifests itself as febrile illness, hemorrhagic fever, encephalitis, ...

• Onset of Insulin Resistance in Hippocampal Synapses After Traumatic Brain Injury: Relevance to Alzheimer’s disease and Therapeutic Implications 

  Franklin, Whitney

  Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a risk factor for the later development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), although the mechanisms contributing to this increased risk are unknown. Insulin resistance is an additional risk factor ...

• The Effects of Oral Contraceptive Use on Ligamentous Injury Incidence in Females: A Potential for Prevention 

  Gray, Aaron

  Female athletes have higher incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury compared to males among sports requiring lower limb agility such as soccer and basketball. Often blamed on sex differences in biomechanics ...

• The Role of Long Distance Movement and Genetic Adaptation on the Evolution of West Nile virus in the New World 

  Swetnam, Daniele M

  West Nile virus (WNV) is an emerging arbovirus that is maintained in an epizooitic cycle involving birds and mosquitoes. After a long history of circulation in the Old World, WNV was introduced into the US and identified ...
