Temporal expression of mitochondrial life cycle markers during acute and chronic overload of rat plantaris muscles.

Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is generally associated with a fast-to-slow phenotypic adaptation in both human and rodent models. Paradoxically, this phenotypic shift is not paralleled by a concomitant increase in mitochondrial content and aerobic markers that would be expected to accompany a slow muscle phenotype. To understand the temporal response of the mitochondrial life cycle (i.

What do we know about autism and policing globally? Preliminary findings from an international effort to examine autism and the criminal justice system.

Research has demonstrated that autistic individuals have higher rates of police contact, however, research has seldom explored the fundamental reasons for these interactions and how this might vary across international contexts. To remedy this, the Global Autism and Criminal Justice Consortium created and disseminated the Global Criminal Justice Survey. Descriptive statistics of survey respondents with and without police contact were compared to glean differential characteristics.

Perceptions of incarcerated people: prison conditions, public health, and justice in the United States.

Carceral conditions in the United States may serve as a proxy for crises within justice and health systems. This study seeks to consider and measure prison climate from the perspective of incarcerated people. By examining within-facility differences in carceral experiences, results shed light on the complex nexus between the carceral context, health, and justice.

Understanding Vaccine Hesitancy in U.S. Prisons: Perspectives from a Statewide Survey of Incarcerated People.

Much of the American response to the COVID-19 pandemic was characterized by a divergence between general public opinion and public health policy. With little attention paid to individuals incarcerated during this time, there is limited direct evidence regarding how incarcerated people perceived efforts to mediate the harms of COVID-19. Prisons operate as a microcosm of society in many ways but they also face unique public health challenges.

Galactokinase-like protein from Leishmania donovani: Biochemical and structural characterization of a recombinant protein.

Leishmaniasis is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the protozoan Leishmania spp. parasites. Leishmaniasis is endemic in 98 countries around the world, and resistance to current anti-leishmanial drugs is rising.
