What's new in Faculty publications

This is not the armored RNA we're talking about.
 

6 new references were added to our local faculty publications database this month, bringing 2014's citation count to a whopping 89 publications.

This month's highlights include: armored RNA of macaca mulatta, pathways for borrelia burgdorferi-induced inflammation, and the effect of tinted animal cages on circadian rhythms in rats.

A fresh crop of publications, after the jump.

Rare Disease Day coming up on February 28th

In the United States, a disease is considered a "rare" disease when it affects fewer than 200,000 people. There are currently 7,000 rare diseases affecting almost 30 million individuals, or almost 10%, of the U.S. population.

Rare Disease Day was first celebrated in 2008 in Europe, and the United States joined in 2009. Join in the celebration for the 6th annual Rare Disease Day. For more information, visit the National Organization for Rare Diseases (NORD) and the Rare Diseases Europe (EURORDIS) websites.

Besides dealing with their specific medical problems, people with rare diseases struggle to get a proper diagnosis, find information, and get treatment. The rarity of their conditions makes medical research more difficult. - See more at: http://rarediseaseday.us/about/#sthash.M3fFZXLe.dpuf
