Early Nicotine Exposure Altered Larval Neuromuscular Function and Adult Germline Apoptosis via MiRNA-Dependent Mechanisms
Alston, Robyn D (East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)MicroRNAs fine tune the expression of target genes needed for homeostasis. Our pilot study showed that nicotine altered 17% miRNAs in C. elegans larvae. Here, we investigated the role of microRNAs in mediating nicotine-induced ... -
Silicon DiOxide is The Most Abundant Mineral in the Earth’s Crust: How Toxic is It?
Prakash, Ankita (East Carolina University, 2023-04-26)Silicon DiOxide, commonly known as silica, is the most abundant mineral in the earth’s crust, and ubiquitous in commercial use. Although harmless in its native state, its nanoparticle counterpart can be highly toxic. ...
