Postpartum spontaneous dissection of the first obtuse marginal branch of the left circumflex coronary artery causing acute coronary syndrome: a case report and literature review
(2013)
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a very rare cause of acute coronary syndromes in young otherwise healthy patients with a striking predilection for the female gender. The pathological mechanism has not been ...
Using TIRF microscopy to analyze stimulated and basal state B-cell MHC II clustering in response to ageing and dietary fish oil
(East Carolina University, 2013)
This research focused on developing an efficient TIRF microscopy approach to evaluate membrane protein organization. More specifically, the data demonstrate that TIRF microscopy can detect changes in ex vivo B-cell MHC II ...
The heart healthy lenoir project-an intervention to reduce disparities in hypertension control: study protocol
(2013)
Background
Racial disparities in blood pressure control are well established; however the impact of low health literacy (LHL) on blood pressure has garnered less attention. Office based interventions that are created with ...
Perfluorooctanoic acid-induced developmental cardiotoxicity in an avian model
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a synthetic chemical used in polyfluormer production. It is a widespread environmental contaminant and is known to induce developmental toxicity in rodent models. As several related compounds ...
The regulation of anthranilate synthesis for the production of pqs in pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The ubiquitous bacterium P. aeruginosa is an important human pathogen that causes devastating infections in immunocompromised patients and chronic infections in cystic fibrosis patients. The ability of P. aeruginosa to ...
Activation of the proton sensing G-protein coupled receptor, GPR4, regulates focal adhesion dynamics and delays cell spreading due to increased cytoskeletal tension
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The tumor microenvironment is characteristically acidic due to insufficient blood perfusion, chronic inflammation, hypoxia, and altered cell metabolism. The low pH found in the tumor microenvironment may facilitate the ...
Molecular mechanisms of TMEFF2 action in Prostate Cancer
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The transmembrane protein with epidermal growth factor and two follistatin motifs 2 (TMEFF2) is an evolutionarily conserved type I transmembrane protein expressed in the embryo and limited adult tissues, mainly the brain ...
