Developing Small Molecule Therapeutics for Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (R...

Ebola virus causes highly lethal viral hemorrhagic fever syndrome and has been classified as a Category A bioweapons agents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It can be used as a potential biological weapon due to their ease of dissemination, person-to person transmissibility and stability in aerosolized form. There is no effective vaccine or antivirals against Ebola virus infection in humans.

ERI: Toward Unfolding the Effect of Sex Variations in Biomechanics of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and many other brain diseases/injuries exhibit sex differences in prevalence. onset. and outcomes. Some of these differences are attributed to the fact that the human brain is sexually dimorphic and there are certain regional and structural differences that exist between male and female brains. However. the effect of these sex variations in biomechanical responses of brain have not been elucidated. The paucity of sex-specific knowledge in brain biomechanics and TBI fields is mainly due to the fact that. these fields have predominantly focused on males.
