Genome-Wide Identification And Expression Analysis Of TCP Transcription Factors In Cotton
(East Carolina University, 2015)
TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors known to perform a variety of physiological functions during plant growth and development. In the current study, we performed for the first time the comprehensive ...
Neurological Effects Of A Single Low Level Blast Overpressure Exposure : Behavior And Micro RNA Mechanisms Of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury In A Rodent Model
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The increased use of explosive devices within warfare and acts of terrorism has allowed blast overpressure exposure (BOE) to become a significant concern. The most common wound sustained by BOE is blast-induced mild traumatic ...
SPATIAL EXPRESSION OF MATRIX AND MATRIX RECEPTOR PROTEINS IN THE DEVELOPING SYNOVIAL JOINT
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Little is understood about the complex spatial and temporal molecular interactions necessary to form a fully functional synovial joint. Understanding molecular pathways and signaling within the developing joint continues ...
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. ...
The Effects of Nicotine on Histone Modifications in Carnorhabditis Elegans
(2017-07-13)
Early development stages have been known to be very susceptible to certain types of stress. Tobacco smoke is one of these major stresses that will affect them during this stage and can increase how likely they are to become ...
Three Generations, One Future: A Systematic Analysis on Nicotine's Effect across generations in C. elegans.
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Tobacco smoking is a worldwide epidemic that is responsible for diseases and death rates that surpass those attributed to a combination of other causes (e.g. cancer, HIV, accidents). A major mediator of tobacco-smoke related ...
Analysis of Myopodin in Hela Cervical Carcinoma Cells
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Synaptopodin-2 is a proline-rich, actin-binding protein that exists in many isoforms. Due to its large proline content, synaptopodin-2 exists in a naturally unfolded state and possesses the characteristics of a hub protein. ...
Drosophila Ctf4 is essential for genome stability and normal cell cycle progression
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Proper DNA replication and well-timed cell cycle progression are vital to the normal functioning of a cell. Precise coordination between these mechanisms' constituent proteins ensures their processivity while safeguarding ...
Molecular Epidemiology of MRSA Among Patients and Employees in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a pervasive drug resistant human pathogen and has become widespread in hospitals around the world. MRSA infections cause approximately 19,000 deaths among hospitalized ...
Transcriptional Analysis of the Bacteroides fragilis Starch Utilization Operon, osuA
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The opportunistic pathogen Bacteroides fragilis is a symbiotic organism that inhabits the human gastrointestinal tract where it utilizes dietary and host-derived polysaccharides as carbon and energy sources. If abdominal ...
