Comparison of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnCl₂ induced germ cell apoptosis in Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2014)There is inadequate research data available on manufactured ZnO nanoparticles. Manufactured nanoparticles are widely used in various products and production of manufactured nanoparticles is becoming increasingly abundant. ... -
Effects of Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticles on the Growth, Development, and microRNA Expression of Tobacco ()
(2012)Nanoparticles are a class of newly emerging environmental pollutions. To date, few experiments have been conducted to investigate the effect nanoparticles may have on plant growth and development. It is important to study ... -
Electron Emission from Fast Proton and Carbon Ion Interactions with Gold Nanoparticles and Amorphous Solid Water
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-22)Widely used in the treatment of cancer, radiation therapy delivers a lethal dose of energy to malignant tissue. Modeling the deposition of energy in the interactions of the radiation with biological material is important ... -
A Functional Analysis of microRNAs in Nicotiana tabacum
(East Carolina University, 2012)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly discovered class of endogenous post-transcriptional gene regulators that are typically 20-22 nucleotides in length that do not code for proteins. MiRNAs regulate gene expression by either ... -
Influence of carbon nanomaterial exposure on pro-constrictor mechanisms during pregnancy
(East Carolina University, 2013)Engineered carbon based nanoparticles (CNP) such as fullerenes and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are increasingly used in industries and in nanomedicine as a platform for drug delivery. Following environmental/o ... -
Protection and Sensitization of Human Cells to Proton Radiation by Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-17)In radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer, there is demand for novel approaches that will improve tumor cell killing while protecting healthy tissue. One such approach that has shown considerable promise is the ... -
Selection of Reliable Reference Genes in for Analysis of Nanotoxicity
(2012)Despite rapid development and application of a wide range of manufactured metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), the understanding of potential risks of using NPs is less completed, especially at the molecular level. The nematode ... -
VIABILITY OF CERIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES AS A RADIOPROTECTOR AGAINST PROTON RADIATION FOR NON-MALIGNANT CELLS
(East Carolina University, 2015)Radiation therapy is a prevalent cancer treatment therapy. The goal is to kill all tumor cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells and new methods that can accomplish this goal are continually being investigated. ...
