Recent studies have demonstrated that some enzymes in bacteria isolated from lanthanide-rich areas use lanthanides as metal cofactors in place of more common metals like calcium and that these lanthanide-enzymes have ...

Adequately staffing nursing assistants in long-term care is difficult. This leads to increased overtime expenses, employee burnout, imposed limits on the census, and decreased quality of care for residents. When care ...

The primary goal of our project is to identify non-clinical long-term care (LTC) leadership or management career options. We are creating a series of profiles of these careers to showcase the many jobs and pathways that ...

Plants have developed sophisticated pathways to respond and adapt to the light in their environment. Photoreceptors allow plants to sense specific wavelengths of light, one family being the red/far-redabsorbing phytochromes ...

Enzymes exist in crowded cellular environments. However, conventionalin vitroandin silicoenzymatic studies are conducted in dilute conditions that do not consider the molecular crowding effects on an enzyme's structure and ...

The population of the United States is rapidly aging, increasing the need for well-prepared leaders and managers in long-term care. Knowledgeable leaders can better support, understand, and empathize with both their employees ...

The zwitterion of sulfamic acid, formed from ammonia (NH3) and sulfur trioxide (SO3), has been identified as a possible intermediate in the formation of atmospheric aerosol particles. We are interested in the degree to ...

The surge of baby boomers and older adults in the United States continues to grow each year with our rapidly aging population. Most long-term care administrators complete an administrative residency under the supervision ...

Conventional in vitro methods use buffers and salts to mimic the intracellular environment. However, by simplifying the in vivo environment, these methods lack essential structural elements that have been shown to impact ...

Cancer now tops heart disease as the number one cause of death in the United States and is the second leading cause of death globally, accounting for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. There is an urgent need for ...
