Characterizing the Role of Pectin in Cell Wall Composition and Organ Initiation in Maize
Maynard, Daniel Jarrell (East Carolina University, 2022-12-07)Plants are constantly developing new organs throughout their life and these organs arise from stem cell pools called meristems. Organ primordia are generated on the flanks of meristems when stem cells differentiate into ... -
Colocalization of Known Focal Adhesion Proteins and Novel Focal Adhesion Protein GPR98 in Human Neurites during Neuronal Development in 2 and 3 Dimensions
Petritsch, Amanda Michelle (East Carolina University, 2022-07-29)Focal adhesions are critical to cell motility, morphology, and neuronal circuit formation. Proper neuronal circuit formation relies on neurons reaching the right location, assuming a specific morphology, and connecting ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD FOR FULL CHARACTERIZATION OF TURBIDITY
Mutisya, Stephen M (East Carolina University, 2022-07-21)Characterization of turbid materials by determining their inherent optical properties have attracted strong research interest for potentially wide applications in fields such as material analysis and biomedical optics. The ... -
Mutation of tandem repeats in fibrin's alpha-C region
Spangler, Sarah Elizabeth (East Carolina University, 2018-01-19)Cardiovascular problems such as myocardial infarctions and emboli are the number one killers in the United States. These health concerns arise from blood clotting unnecessarily in the veins or arteries. Studies have shown ... -
Using Cryo-Electron Microscopy to Determine the 3-Dimensional Structure of Fibrinogen
Viverette, Elizabeth G (East Carolina University, 2021-05-28)Fibrinogen is a large protein that is the soluble protein precursor to fibrin, which forms fibers that hold blood cells together to create blood clots. Research into the properties of fibrinogen is necessary because of its ...
