RNA binding proteins (RBPs) are responsible for facilitating a wealth of post-transcriptional gene regulatory functions. The role of an RBP on regulated transcripts can be investigated through a pull-down of the RBP and high-throughput sequencing (HTS) of the associated transcripts. Photoactivatable Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP), is one such pull-down method that isolates, detects, and sequences the cDNA of RBP-associated transcripts.

Background: Alcohol use in adolescence may increase susceptibility to substance use disorders (SUDs) in adulthood. This study determined if voluntary ethanol (EtOH) consumption during adolescence, combined with social isolation, alters the trajectory of EtOH and nicotine intake during adulthood, as well as activating brain neuroinflammation.
Methods: Adolescent male isolate- and group-housed rats were given 0.

Radiation imaging is extensively applied in nuclear industry for various purposes including fuel characterization. Accurate quantitative evaluation of these radiographic images is difficult by the existing manual process and therefore image analytical methods have been attempted. The method of wavelet transform analysis has been applied on Gamma autoradiography (GAR) images of experimental (U, Pu)O mixed oxide (MOX) fuel pins with the objective to investigate the effectiveness of the method for fuel homogeneity characterization.

Introduction: Abuse or misuse of tobacco, e-cigarettes, or antidepressants may have serious clinical consequences during adolescence, a sensitive period during brain development when the distinct neurobiology of adolescent serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) systems create unique behavioral vulnerabilities to drugs of abuse.
Methods: Using a pharmacological approach, we modeled the behavioral and neurochemical effects of subchronic (4-day) nicotine (60µg/kg, i.v.

The measurement of Ra and the identification of Ra-bearing minerals are important for studying the behavior of radium in the environment. Various instruments for measuring Ra are currently used: among the radiometric techniques that measure in bulk (no spatialization), there are gamma spectrometers and alpha spectrometers. Other instruments such as SEM-EDS can map the chemical elements thus providing information on the distribution of Ra, but are limited for ultra-trace analyses on natural geomaterials.
