Proteomic analysis in Alzheimer's disease with psychosis reveals a shared AD proteomic landscape and a separate molecular signature of postsynaptic density disruption

T.S. Ku, Steven J. Mullett, Ziye Sui, Li Zeng, Ying Ding, Anastasia K. Yocum, M. MacDonald, Stacy L. Gelhaus, Julia Kofler, Robert A. Sweet

This study identifies a shared proteomic profile in Alzheimer's disease with and without psychosis and a separate molecular signature linked to postsynaptic density disruption.

Increased TRPV4 channel expression enhances and impairs blood vessel function in hypertension

X. Zhang, C. Buckley, M. D. Lee, M. MacDonald, C. Wilson, J. G. McCarron

This study shows that increased TRPV4 channel expression in endothelial cells both enhances and impairs vascular function in hypertension, leading to altered Ca2+ signaling and vascular reactivity.

Field evaluation of a volatile pyrethroid spatial repellent and etofenprox-treated clothing for outdoor protection against forest malaria vectors in Cambodia

E. A. Vajda, A. Ross, D. Doum, E. Fairbanks, N. A. Chitnis, J. Hii, S. J. Moore, J. Richardson, M. Macdonald, S. Sovannaroth, P. Kimheng, D. J. McIver, A. Tatarsky, N. F. Lobo

This study evaluates volatile pyrethroid spatial repellents and etofenprox-treated clothing for reducing Anopheles landings in Cambodia, finding substantial protective efficacies and significant reductions in vectorial capacity.

Disrupted Endothelial Cell Heterogeneity and Network Organization Impairs Vascular Function in Prediabetic Obesity

C. Wilson, X. Zhang, M. D. Lee, M. MacDonald, H. Heathcote, N. Alorfi, C. Buckley, S. Dolan, J. G. McCarron

This study shows that disrupted endothelial cell heterogeneity and network organization in prediabetic obesity impair vascular function by altering calcium signaling and communication patterns.
