Hippo Pathway And Inflammation: Implications For Multiwalled-Carbon Nanotube Exposure., M. Thakur, D. Mutyala, N. Bidarimath, R. Kondati, S. Batra

Student Presentations

The Hippo signalling pathway is commonly recognized for its ability to regulate tissue growth organ size and cell proliferation by directly participating in inflammation. Nevertheless, recent studies indicate that the Hippo pathway can potentially impact inflammation indirectly by controlling processes like cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue repair. Engineered nanoparticles, particularly single- or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs/MWCNTs), are commonly used in various products. Inhalation of these nanotubes carries health risks due to their large surface area and strong binding affinity for pollutants or biomolecules, which can affect immune and non-immune cell responses. Functionalization of CNTs with chemical groups further complicates their …

The Perception Of Innocence And Guilt: Understanding Relationships Between Exonerees And Their Loved Ones, Martha E. Mccullough

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Exoneration and wrongful conviction complicate the field of criminology and the criminal justice system. Much of the scholarship on wrongful conviction focuses on the faults of the criminal justice system, such as false or misleading forensic evidence, false confessions, official misconduct, inadequate legal defense, and more. However, there is less research on the social, psychological, and economic impact of a wrongful conviction on those who have been wrongfully convicted and those associated with wrongful convictions (e.g., exoneree's loved ones). Recent studies indicate that social and psychological implications after a wrongful conviction may not only affect exonerees but also their loved …

The Supreme Court And Children, Aaron Tang

Northwestern University Law Review

How do children fare at the Supreme Court? Empirical research on the question is sparse, but existing accounts suggest a disheartening answer. A 1996 study found that children lost more than half of their cases in the Court, and a pair of prominent scholars lamented twenty years later that “the losses in children’s rights cases” had “outpace[d] and overwhelm[ed] the victories.”

In this Article, I present evidence that complicates this understanding. Based on an original dataset comprising 262 Supreme Court decisions between 1953 and 2023, I find that children have prevailed in 62.6% of their cases. This win rate is …
