During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an observed increase in anti-vaccine sentiment linked with requirements for vaccines. But how did these ideas impact politics of vaccines? In this paper, authors analyze witness statements from 2021 Texas Legislative Session during vaccine-related hearings. Specifically, research focused on five hearings bills that related to vaccine or transparency laws filed 2021Texas and witnesses who opposed measures. From 128 cataloged analyzed, we found 84...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most devastating neural injuries without effective therapeutic solutions. Astrocytes are predominant component scar. Understanding complex contributions reactive astrocytes to SCI pathophysiologies fundamentally important for developing strategies. We have studied molecular changes in environment and astrocyte-specific responses by astrocyte purification from injured spinal cords acute chronic stages. In addition protein-coding genes, we systematically...
