THE EFFECTS OF ACIDIC TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT ON LYMPHOMA CELL RESPONSES TO CHEMOTHERAPEUTICS
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Acidic tumor microenvironment exists in many types of cancer. Altered glycolytic metabolism of tumor cells and deficient blood supply in tissues are major causes for this phenomenon. Lymphoma cells may have different ...
The Potential Role of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Image-Guided Radiotherapy
(2014-05)
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive technique to detect metabolites within the normal and tumoral tissues. The ability of MRS to diagnose areas of high metabolic activity linked to tumor cell proliferation ...

Discharge β-Blocker Use and Race after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
(2014-04)
Introduction: The use of discharge β-blockers after cardiac surgery is associated with a long-term mortality benefit. β-Blockers have been suggested to be less effective in black cardiovascular patients compared with whites. ...
PPP1R42 is a positive regulator of PP1 in centrosome duplication and separation and cilia dynamics
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The centrosome is a dynamic structure that undergoes structural and functional transitions, which are coordinated with the cell cycle. It functions as the microtubule organizing center (MTOC) in interphase, duplicates and ...
Layered regulation of a pathway capable of altering quinolone production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram negative opportunistic pathogen which commonly infects hospitalized patients and those afflicted with cystic fibrosis. P. aeruginosa communicates intercellularly via a system of small ...
The immune and neurological impacts of developmental Bisphenol A exposure in a C57bl/6 mouse model
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Environmental exposure to exogenous agents during critical time points of development may be associated with the onset of deleterious effects, including immune and neurological disorders. Numerous studies have shown that ...
