Genetic and hypoxic effects on germline tumor development in caenorhabditis elegans
Datla, Udaya Sree (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 ... -
Genetic control of cell fate specification in Caenorhabditis elegans germline.
Mamillapalli, Srivalli Swathi (East Carolina University, 2015)The precise regulation of germ cell fates (sperm or oocyte) lies at the heart of reproduction and fertility. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites produce a discrete number of sperm during larval development ... -
Investigating the Effects of Sodium Benzoate on Fat Deposition and Pharyngeal Pumping and Related Genetic Mechanism in Caenorhabditis elegans
Vang, Jerry Xai (East Carolina University, 2022-07-18)Sodium benzoate is a widely used food preservative common in many household products due to its antibacterial and antifungal activities. However, many of its side effects other than as a preservative has been under research ... -
PUF-8 and MPK-1: Genetic and Chemical Control of Spermatocyte Dedifferentiation in Caenorhabditis elegans
Gaddy, Matthew A. (East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)Stem cells face a number of major fate decision during their development: the decision to self-renew or differentiate, and then whether to remain differentiated or dedifferentiate, as occurs in some oncogenesis. A regulatory ...
