Animal Models for the Study of Human Disease

Chapter 5. Animal Models of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

By: Caroline J. Zeiss

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative condition that begins in Bruch’s membrane and progresses to involve the retinal pigment epithelium and ultimately, overlying photoreceptors. The only required etiologic factor is age, and AMD is regarded as the leading cause of blindness in individuals over 65 years. AMD results from variable contributions of age, environment, and genetic predisposition. Many loci are linked to AMD—in the vast majority of cases, the disease is associated with polymorphisms within these genes, rather than mutations that ablate gene function. The etiologic complexity of AMD is reflected by the paucity of animal models that entirely replicate the human disease. In this review, we compare the salient anatomy of the primate and rodent retina, particularly in the light of AMD pathology. Next, prevailing hypotheses explaining how AMD may develop are discussed. These include the role of complement activation and macrophage chemotaxis in AMD, molecular mechanisms of choroidal neovascularization, and the roles of oxidative damage and lipid metabolism. An overview of spontaneous and induced non-human primate models is given, and relevant mouse models are described in the context of each pathogenetic mechanism.

Machine in the Studio

Constructing the Postwar American Artist

By: Caroline A. Jones

Drawing on extensive interviews with artists and their assistants as well as close readings of artworks, Jones explains that much of the major work of the 1960s was compelling precisely because it was "mainstream" - central to the visual and economic culture of its time.

Exploring Bioinformatics: A Project-Based Approach

By: Caroline St. Clair,Jonathan E. Visick

Thoroughly revised and updated, Exploring Bioinformatics: A Project-Based Approach, Second Edition is intended for an introductory course in bioinformatics at the undergraduate level. Through hands-on projects, students are introduced to current biological problems and then explore and develop bioinformatic solutions to these issues. Each chapter presents a key problem, provides basic biological concepts, introduces computational techniques to address the problem, and guides students through the use of existing web-based tools and software solutions. This progression prepares students to tackle the On-Your-Own Project, where they develop their own software solutions. Topics such as antibiotic resistance, genetic disease, and genome sequencing provide context and relevance to capture student interest.

Bad Imaginings

By: Caroline Adderson

Winner of the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize and shortlisted for the Governor-General's Award for fiction and the Commonwealth Writer's Prize, Caroline Adderson's short fiction collection travels far and wide. From adolescent brothers marooned at an indifferent relatives cottage, to a Depression-era Ukrainian immigrant reading the drought-parched skies above Palliser's Triangle, to two friends trying to make sense of feminism in the eighties, Adderson captures her characters' cadences, conflicts, and consolations, their individual burdens and the mysteries they share. Adventurous, often funny, and impeccably researched, these stories chart their lives with compassion and intelligence.

Creative Radicalism in the Middle East

Creative Radicalism in the Middle East

Culture and the Arab Left after the Uprisings

By: Caroline Rooney

Addressing the question of how neoliberal ideology has served to conflate the radical left with extremism, this book examines how the Arab left has asserted itself in the context of authoritarianism and Islamic extremism during and after the Arab uprisings. It examines how the Arab cultural left has offered a critique of the signifying practices of political hegemonies in the region and argues that though creative expression as constituted in the very language of the Arab uprisings, it has put forward its own alternatives Using a wide array of texts and sources, both Arab and non-Arab, the opening chapters of the book identify how ethical and radical values pertaining to sociality are co-opted by political leaders in the Middle East and turned into jargon. Later chapters outline resistance to this co-option through a poetics of inter-subjectivity that takes structures of feeling into account, ranging from disappointment, despair and distrust, to dignity, solidarity and reconfigured senses of the sacred. In showing how psychological and affective states relate to signifying practices, the book offers an original conceptual framework for differentiating 'radicalization' from the creative radicalism of the Arab avant-garde.

English Convents in Exile, 1600-1800, Part II, vol 5

By: Caroline Bowden,Katrien Daemen-de Gelder,James E Kelly,Richard G Williams,Carmen M Mangion,Michael Questier,Emma Major

Between 1600 and 1800 around 4,000 Catholic women left England for a life of exile in the convents of France, Flanders, Portugal and America. These closed communities offered religious contemplation and safety, but also provided an environment of concentrated female intellectualism. The nuns’ writings from this time form a unique resource.
