NR5A family member ftz-f1 is necessary to promote oocyte development
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)Gamete production in mammals and insects is intimately tied to nutrition status. Conversion of nutritionally-dependent physiological signals to molecular mechanisms underlying control of oogenesis, however, remains largely ... -
Nuclear Progesterone Receptors Are Up-Regulated by Estrogens in Neurons and Radial Glial Progenitors in the Brain of Zebrafish
(2011)Abstract In rodents, there is increasing evidence that nuclear progesterone receptors are transiently expressed in many regions of the developing brain, notably outside the hypothalamus. This suggests that progesterone ... -
Nuclear Progestin Receptor (Pgr) Knockouts in Zebrafish Demonstrate Role for Pgr in Ovulation but Not in Rapid Non-Genomic Steroid Mediated Meiosis Resumption
(2015-03)Progestins, progesterone derivatives, are the most critical signaling steroid for initiating final oocyte maturation (FOM) and ovulation, in order to advance fully-grown immature oocytes to become fertilizable eggs in basal ... -
Nutrient contributions from septic systems in nutrient-sensitive watersheds: Quantifying nutrient inputs, reduction methods, and economic feasibility
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-30)Eutrophication of surface waters is a global issue threatening aquatic ecosystems and recreational opportunities. Nutrient management strategies exist to reduce nutrient inputs from various sources; however, septic systems ... -
OPTIMIZATION OF AN OPTOGENETICALLY ACTIVATED INITIATOR OF APOPTOSIS
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)Optogenetic tools provide a window into the world of cell signaling pathways and protein-protein interactions with a precision and elegance that other biological probes can struggle to achieve. The creation of optogenetic ... -
Ordinal-Level Phylogenomics of the Arthropod Class Diplopoda (Millipedes) Based on an Analysis of 221 Nuclear Protein-Coding Loci Generated Using Next-Generation Sequence Analyses
(2013)Background The ancient and diverse, yet understudied arthropod class Diplopoda, the millipedes, has a muddled taxonomic history. Despite having a cosmopolitan distribution and a number of unique and interesting ... -
Our Health, Our Responsibility
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)Health4PINE (People in Need Everywhere) is an organization that spreads health awareness and places an emphasis on mental, social, and physical fitness along with tips of how to achieve improved health without expensive ...
