The zebrafish heart regenerates after ventricular damage through a process involving
inflammation, fibrotic tissue deposition/removal and myocardial regeneration. Using 3D whole-…

NOTCH signaling suppresses tumor growth and proliferation in several types of stratified
epithelia. Here, we show that missense mutations in NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 found in human …

A method for estimating transition probability is applied to the deterioration models of a
bridge management system. Deterioration is modeled as a time-dependent function of the …

BACKGROUND: The endocardium is a crucial signaling center for cardiac valve development
and maturation. Genetic analysis has identified several human endocardial genes whose …

Caveolin-1 is the main structural protein of caveolae, small membrane invaginations involved
in signal transduction and mechanoprotection. Here, we generated cav1-KO zebrafish …

An optimization methodology is presented for program planning and budget allocation
involved in network-level pavement management. It consists of three major components:(a) …

A methodology is presented for network-level pavement performance prediction that incorporates
censored condition data. Censoring occurs when the duration at a specific condition …

Unlike the hearts of mammals, the adult zebrafish heart regenerates after injury. Heart
cryoinjury in zebrafish triggers the formation of a fibrotic scar that gradually degrades, leading to …

A state increment method of life-cycle cost analysis (SILCCA) is presented for project-level
evaluation of highway infrastructure maintenance options. The method involves: (1) …

As ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is increasingly used for assessing the condition of bridge
decks, quantifying and controlling the quality of GPR measures becomes an important …
