A QUEST FOR ARTICULAR CARTILAGE PROGENITOR CELLS LEADS TO TEMPORAL REGULATION OF HYALURONAN REQUIRED FOR 3T3-L1 ADIPOGENESIS
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-13)During embryogenesis, mesenchymal progenitor cells exhibit hyaluronan-dependent pericellular matrices as a major component of the extracellular matrix. As connective tissues form by cellular condensations, there is a loss ... -
Genetic and hypoxic effects on germline tumor development in caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2013)The process of differentiation of stem cells to committed, progenitor specific cell types is well studied but the reverse process of the dedifferentiation of these committed cells back to the undifferentiated state still ... -
Nicotine Controlof Germline Cell Fate in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2015-05)Nicotine dependence is the single largest cause of preventable death in the world, claiming 480,000 lives each year in the US alone, including those caused by secondhand smoke. In this study, we investigated the biological ... -
Targeting the leukemic stem cell: the Holy Grail of leukemia therapy
(East Carolina University, 2009-01)Since the discovery of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) over a decade ago, many of their critical biological properties have been elucidated, including their distinct replicative properties, cell surface phenotypes, their ...
