The valence and oxygen defect properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) suggest
that they may act as auto‐regenerative free radical scavengers. Overproduction of the free …

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neuromuscular disorder due to a defect in the
survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. Its incidence is approximately 1 in 11,000 live births. In …

The intestinal epithelial lining, together with factors secreted from it, forms a barrier that

Studies in human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) suggest a possible role for histone
deacetylases (HDACs) in skewed gene expression and disease pathogenesis. We used the …

Purpose.: Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a risk factor for glaucoma. The principal
outflow pathway for aqueous humor in the human eye is through the trabecular meshwork (HTM…

Cerium oxide nanoparticles have oxygen defects in their lattice structure that enables them to
act as a regenerative free radical scavenger in a physiological environment. We performed …

Traditional predictive tests for dermal sensitization in humans use the albino guinea pig as
a model. A number of factors make the prospect of an alternative attractive. Guinea pig …
