ANALYSIS OF TRANSGENIC MOUSE MODELS TO STUDY MAMMALIAN SPERMATOGONIA
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-24)Spermatogenesis in the mammalian testis results in the daily production of millions of spermatozoa. This developmental process is founded upon the actions of a small population of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). As SSCs ... -
Bonds
(East Carolina University, 2014)This report of creative thesis is a visual interpretation of the stages in the relationship between me and my horse, Dolly. The work represents a timeline from when we were first paired at a riding academy, to when we ... -
CHANGES IN INSULIN RESISTANCE ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC AIRWAY ALLERGEN EXPOSURES IN A SPONTANEOUSLY OBESE, NONHUMAN PRIMATE MODEL OF ALLERGIC ASTHMA
(East Carolina University, 2021-08-16)Obesity and asthma are two major well-recognized and interconnected major health problems, but the mechanisms that underlie the association of these two chronic inflammatory disease states are still unknown. Novel insights ... -
Effects of PFMOAA, An Understudied PFAS, on Developing Mice
(East Carolina University, 2021-08-16)Perfluoro-2-methoxyaacetic acid (PFMOAA) was recently the most prevalent emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) detected in the Cape Fear River of North Carolina (NC). A byproduct of fluorochemical manufacturing, ... -
Molecular Histology of EphrinA1 Expression in Mouse Heart Visualized Molecular Histology of EphrinA1 Expression in Mouse Heart Visualized with MALDI-MSI
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-25)EphrinA1 is a tyrosine kinase receptor localized in the cellular membrane of healthy cardiomyocytes, the expression of which is lost upon myocardial infarction (MI). Intra-cardiac injection of the recombinant form of ... -
PUF-8 and MPK-1: Genetic and Chemical Control of Spermatocyte Dedifferentiation in Caenorhabditis elegans
(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 ...
