The 52nd Annual Wind River Conference on Prokaryotic Biology -- 2008
(East Carolina University, 2008-12) -
Abraham Flexner and the black medical schools.
(East Carolina University, 2006-09)"Abraham Flexner and the Black Medical Schools" first appeared in Beyond Flexner: Medical Education in the Twentieth Century, Barbara Barzansky and Norman Gevitz, eds. Copyright 1992 by Barbara Barzansky and Norman Gevitz. ... -
Absence of unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in murine T lymphocytes.
(East Carolina University, 1989-08)Stearic acid is toxic for T lymphocytes in vitro but has little effect on B lymphocytes. To investigate the molecular basis for this difference, purified murine T and B lymphocytes were compared for their abilities to ... -
The Academic Health Sciences Library and Serial Selection
(East Carolina University, 1974-07)A review of efforts to formulate basic medical journal lists and a report of a survey of subscriptions held in academic health science libraries is presented. The subscriptions held by thirty-seven libraries were analyzed ... -
Acidic tumor microenvironment and pH-sensing G protein-coupled receptors
(2013-10)The tumor microenvironment is acidic due to glycolytic cancer cell metabolism, hypoxia, and deficient blood perfusion. It is proposed that acidosis in the tumor microenvironment is an important stress factor and selection ... -
Acidosis Activation of the Proton-Sensing GPR4 Receptor Stimulates Vascular Endothelial Cell Inflammatory Responses Revealed by Transcriptome Analysis
(2013)Acidic tissue microenvironment commonly exists in inflammatory diseases, tumors, ischemic organs, sickle cell disease, and many other pathological conditions due to hypoxia, glycolytic cell metabolism and deficient blood ... -
Acidosis Decreases c-Myc Oncogene Expression in Human Lymphoma Cells: A Role for the Proton-Sensing G Protein-Coupled Receptor TDAG8
(2013-10)Acidosis is a biochemical hallmark of the tumor microenvironment. Here, we report that acute acidosis decreases c-Myc oncogene expression in U937 human lymphoma cells. The level of c-Myc transcripts, but not mRNA or protein ... -
The Actin Binding Protein, Fesselin, is a Member of the Synaptopodin Family
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)Fesselin is a natively unfolded protein that is abundant in avian smooth muscle. Like many natively unfolded proteins, fesselin has multiple binding partners including actin, myosin, calmodulin and α-actinin. Fesselin ... -
Activation of GPR4 by Acidosis Increases Endothelial Cell Adhesion through the cAMP/Epac Pathway
(2011)Endothelium-leukocyte interaction is critical for inflammatory responses. Whereas the tissue microenvironments are often acidic at inflammatory sites, the mechanisms by which cells respond to acidosis are not well understood. ... -
Activity of the novel mTOR inhibitor Torin-2 in B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia and its therapeutic potential to prevent Akt reactivation
(2014-10)The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling cascade is a key regulatory pathway controlling cell growth and survival, and its dysregulation is a reported feature of B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-pre ALL). Torin-2 is a ... -
Acute Adverse Effects of Fine Particulate Air Pollution on Ventricular Repolarization
(2010-07)Background The mechanisms for the relationship between particulate pollution and cardiac disease are not fully understood. Objective We examined the effects and time course of exposure to fine particulate matter ≤ 2.5 ... -
Acute Effects of Fine Particulate Air Pollution on Cardiac Arrhythmia: The APACR Study
(2011-03)Background: The mechanisms underlying the relationship between particulate matter (PM) air pollution and cardiac disease are not fully understood. Objectives: We examined the effects and time course of exposure to fine ... -
Adaptations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to the Cystic Fibrosis Lung Environment Can Include Deregulation of zwf, Encoding Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase
(East Carolina University, 2005-11)Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are highly susceptible to chronic pulmonary disease caused by mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains that overproduce the exopolysaccharide alginate. We showed here that a mutation in zwf, ... -
Advances in Targeting Signal Transduction Pathways
(2012-12)Over the past few years, significant advances have occurred in both our understanding of the complexity of signal transduction pathways as well as the isolation of specific inhibitors which target key components in those ... -
Advancing Research on Racial–Ethnic Health Disparities: Improving Measurement Equivalence in Studies with Diverse Samples
(2014-12)To conduct meaningful, epidemiologic research on racial–ethnic health disparities, racial–ethnic samples must be rendered equivalent on other social status and contextual variables via statistical controls of those extraneous ... -
Aerobic-Type Ribonucleotide Reductase in the Anaerobe Bacteroides fragilis
(East Carolina University, 2002-02)Bacteroides fragilis, a component of the normal intestinal flora, is an obligate anaerobe capable of long-term survival in the presence of air. Survival is attributed to an elaborate oxidative stress response that controls ... -
Agmatine reverses pain induced by inflammation, neuropathy, and spinal cord injury
(East Carolina University, 2000-09-12)Antagonists of glutamate receptors of the N-methyl-D-aspartate subclass (NMDAR) or inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) prevent nervous system plasticity. Inflammatory and neuropathic pain rely on plasticity, presenting ... -
The agony of agonal respiration: is the last gasp necessary?
(East Carolina University, 2002-06)Gasping respiration in the dying patient is the last respiratory pattern prior to terminal apnoea. The duration of the gasping respiration phase varies; it may be as brief as one or two breaths to a prolonged period of ...
