I am a cultural anthropologist and I work on the contemporary biosciences in the Americas and the U.K. My work has primarily explored how claims to and about biological material and knowledge help shape contemporary social imaginaries of participation and marginalization.
Research on biological pathways by which stress may influence hippocampal volumes has primarily explored neuronal death [32], [65], [66], [67], [68], [69], decreased neurogenesis [70], [71], [72], [73] and dendritic retraction [74], [75].
This paper has primarily explored associations between body burdens and measures of SEP and race/ethnicity.
Previous research on ACS admissions has primarily explored urban populations, with little attention to potential differences for rural patients [ 2, 4, 6].
With a few exceptions (e.g. Foulsham, Chapman, Nasiopoulos, & Kingstone, 2014; Gilchrist, North, & Hood, 2001; Jiang, Won, Swallow, & Mussack, 2014), previous studies on human search ability have primarily explored visual search (see Eckstein, 2011 for a recent review) or foraging (Cain, Vul, Clark, & Mitroff, 2012; Wolfe, 2013) using experimental stimuli presented on computer screens.
Genetic studies have primarily explored the role of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes, including alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH) and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), in the mothers and their FAS offspring; these studies have used relatively small sample sizes [ 26, 27].
Woodchip denitrification bioreactors are an important edge-of-field practice for treating agricultural drainage; however, their ability to filter microbial pollutants has primarily been explored in the context of wastewater treatment.
CD30 co-stimulation has primarily been explored in the NOD (nonobese diabetic) model of diabetes because it maps to the diabetes susceptibility locus idd9.2 and revealed several sequence differences in NOD mice compared with B10 mice [ 72].
While there has been some research focused on identifying the impact of mtDNA variants on a number of complex traits, this relationship has been primarily explored through association testing with single traits or outcomes.
However, these potential mechanisms have been primarily explored in the field of respiratory infection, and to date there has been no significant advance in understanding the processes involved.
