A novel role for activating transcription factor-2 in 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid-induced angiogenesis*

To investigate the mechanisms underlying 15(S)-HETE-induced angiogenesis, we have studied the role of the small GTPase, Rac1.We find that 15(S)-HETE activated Rac1 in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMVEC) in a time-dependent manner.Blockade of Rac1 by adenovirus-mediated expression of its dominant negative mutant suppressed HRMVEC

Understanding of income and race disparities in hurricane evacuation is contingent upon study case and design

Abstract As hurricanes become more frequent and destructive, understanding evacuation decision-making is crucial to refining disaster response strategies.Several studies have explored how socioeconomic characteristics such as income and race impact evacuation behavior.Most Stoneware Jug of these studies focus on a single hurricane event with the ge
