The Acquisition of a Plastid by Haptophytes, Cryptophytes, and Photosynthetic Heterokonts
Schreiber, John M. (East Carolina University, 2014)Red algae and green plants are known to have obtained their photosynthetic organelles, or plastids, through the endosymbiotic adoption of cyanobacteria. It is still widely debated as to how other eukaryotic alga such as ... -
Activation of GPR4 by acidosis inhibits tumor cell migration, invasion and metastasis.
Castellone, Reid David (East Carolina University, 2011)Melanoma and Prostate Cancer are two of the most diagnosed forms of cancer in the United States. The ability to metastasize and colonize in a distant location is one of the most devastating hallmarks of cancer as modes ... -
