Microscopic Matrix Remodeling Precedes Endothelial Morphological Changes During Capillary Morphogenesis, Claire Mcleod, John Higgins, Yekaterina Miroshnikova, Rachel Liu, Aliesha Garrett, Alisha Sarang-Sieminski
Microscopic Matrix Remodeling Precedes Endothelial Morphological Changes During Capillary Morphogenesis, Claire Mcleod, John Higgins, Yekaterina Miroshnikova, Rachel Liu, Aliesha Garrett, Alisha Sarang-Sieminski

The formation of microvascular networks (MVNs) is influenced by many aspects of the microenvironment, including soluble and insoluble biochemical factors and the biophysical properties of the surrounding matrix. It has also become clear that a dynamic and reciprocal interaction between the matrix and cells influences cell behavior. In particular, local matrix remodeling may play a role in driving cellular behaviors, such as MVN formation. In order to explore the role of matrix remodeling, an in vitro model of MVN formation involving suspending human umbilical vein endothelial cells within collagen hydrogels was used. The resulting cell and matrix morphology were microscopically …
Clients' And Therapists' Stories About Psychotherapy, Jonathan Adler
Clients' And Therapists' Stories About Psychotherapy, Jonathan Adler
Jonathan M. Adler
This article provides an overview of the emerging field of research on clients' stories about their experiences in psychotherapy. The theory of narrative identity suggests that individuals construct stories about their lives in order to provide the self with a sense of purpose and unity. Psychotherapy stories serve both psychological functions. Focusing on the theme of agency as a vehicle for operationalizing purpose and coherence as a way of operationalizing unity, this article will describe the existing scholarship connecting psychotherapy stories to clients' psychological well-being. Results from cross-sectional qualitative and quantitative studies as well as longitudinal research indicate a connection …

Investigation Into The Prevalence Of A Novel Dendritic-Like Cell Subset In Vivo, Kristin Griffiths, Jonathan Tan, Helen O'Neill

A novel dendritic-like cell subset termed L-DC was recently identified in murine spleen based on marker expression of a homogeneous cell population derived from long-term culture of neonatal spleen. The function of L-DC is distinct from other splenic dendritic and myeloid cell subsets because of their high endocytic capacity and their ability to cross-present antigen to CD8+ T cells. This paper shows the subset to be unique to spleen and blood, with a similar, but possibly functionally distinct subset also present in bone marrow. The prevalence of the subset is low; ~6% of all dendritic and myeloid cells in the …
Spillovers Of Veterans Hospice Care: The Economic And Social Impact Of Palliative Care, Maximiliano Mendieta, Bruce D. Mcdonald Iii
Spillovers Of Veterans Hospice Care: The Economic And Social Impact Of Palliative Care, Maximiliano Mendieta, Bruce D. Mcdonald Iii
Bruce D. McDonald, III
In exchange for military service in the United States, soldiers are promised a benefits package inclusive of health and education after the completion of their service. While the economic effects of the defense-growth relationship are well known, this study takes a unique approach to understanding the relationship between veterans and society by investigating the social and economic spillovers of veterans hospice care. This study shows that as an early adopter of hospice care, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs maximized its efficiency through sponsoring innovative research on geriatric care, introducing competition into the health sector, and legitimizing death and dying …
