Early exposure to a number of metals is associated with early cognitive outcomes, however, the evidence linking these early exposures to cognitive function in adulthood or later is limited. Furthermore, the options to address deleterious exposures that have already occurred are poorly understood. This dissertation set...

Among the uncertain ingredients in massive star evolution, mass loss is especially central. It determines how much hydrogen envelope survives to core collapse, whether a star ends its life as a red, yellow, or blue supergiant, and what compact remnant it leaves behind. Yet the physical mechanisms driving mass loss, par...

The enteric nervous system is composed of a heterogeneous population of putative sensory neurons, interneurons, secretomotor neurons, and excitatory and inhibitory motor neurons that coordinate intestinal function and immunity. Under inflammatory conditions, specific cytokine receptor signaling in enteric neurons and s...

Chronic type 2 inflammatory diseases affect millions of people globally. These diseases exhibit tissue remodeling, where inflammatory cells mediate the breakdown of normal extracellular matrix and deposition of excessive submucosal collagen. Tissue remodeling can prompt mechanoreceptor activation through tissue rigidit...

Recent advances in two-dimensional materials have unveiled a plethora possibilities for exploring strongly correlated topological phases. This thesis focuses on predicting novel topological phases and examining their properties. Chapters 1 and 2 discuss phases characterized by fractionalization, where the system's exci...

The gastrointestinal tract is a semipermeable barrier to the external environment, allowing the absorption of nutrients while restricting the entry of microbes. This is in part achieved through structural cells, including epithelial cells and fibroblasts, which coordinate amongst themselves and with the immune system t...

How did people dance over a thousand years ago? Across the Dunhuang Caves (4th–14th centuries) in Northwestern China, hundreds of mural paintings depict celestial dancers in mid-motion — arms extended, torsos twisted, ribbons suspended in the air. These depictions capture breathtaking poses, but the movement between th...

Rigorous evaluation of abortion access and effectiveness in the United States is challenged by structural policy variation, geographic heterogeneity, and the ethical and logistical constraints of randomized trials. Generating policy-relevant evidence in this setting requires methodological approaches that can leverage...

Over thirty years ago, significant breakthroughs in plant molecular genetics facilitated the formulation of the seminal ABC model of floral development in which the coordinated expression of MADS-Box transcription factors act as a combinatorial code to confer the identity of the different floral organs. This model has...
