Prostate cancer persists as a major public health issue in the United States and remains the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Early detection and disease monitoring in prostate cancer can significantly improve ...

The efficient isolation of specific bioparticles in lab-on-a-chip platforms is important for many applications in clinical diagnostics and biomedical research. The majority of microfluidic devices designed for specific ...

Nasal codas in English and Standard Chinese (SC) are compared to distinguish between the acoustic correlates of language-universal distinctive features and language-specific enhancing attributes. The distinctive feature ...

In vivo multimodal, multiplexed microscopy allows real-time observation of hematopoietic cells, their stem and progenitor cells and metastatic cancer cells in their native bone marrow (BM) environment. Multiplexing has ...

Speech reception depends critically on temporal modulations in the amplitude envelope of the speech signal. Reverberation encountered in everyday environments can substantially attenuate these modulations. To assess the ...

One of the primary functions of the human auditory system is to separate the complex mixture of sound arriving at the ears into neural representations of individual sound sources. This function is thought to be crucial for ...

The universality of many aspects of music, such as octave-based tuning systems and the use of dissonance and consonance to create harmonic tension and resolution, suggests that their perception may have fundamental ...

Investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the perception of the pitch of harmonic complex tones is of great importance for many reasons. Changes in pitch convey melody in music, and the superposition of different ...

Laryngeal dystonia (LD) is the focal laryngeal form of the neurological movement disorder called dystonia, a condition that often changes in severity depending on the posture assumed and on voluntary activity of the affected ...
