THE HYALURONAN EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX CRITICALLY REGULATES SYNAPSE FORMATION IN DEVELOPING NEURAL NETWORKS
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-21)The majority of neurodevelopmental disorders present with an imbalance in synaptic signal transmission. The delicate balance of excitatory to inhibitory synaptic transmission is regulated by multiple extracellular and ... -
THE MECHANISTIC TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (mTOR) AND ITS COMPLEX 1 ASSOCIATED PROTEIN RPTOR ARE GERM CELL-AUTONOMOUSLY REQUIRED FOR SPERMATOGONIAL DEVELOPMENT & CHAPTER IV: INVESTIGATING CHANGES IN THE TESTICULAR TRANSCRIPTOME DURING THE PROSPERMATOGONIAL TRANSITION
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-26)Stem, progenitor, and differentiating spermatogonia are formed in the neonatal mouse testis, and they provide the foundation for spermatogenesis and life-long fertility. Currently, the factors that regulate these varying ... -
THE PRO-INFLAMMATORY ROLE OF G-PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTOR 4 IN AN ACIDIC MICROENVIRONMENT
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)The endothelium of the microvascular system serves an ideal mediator between circulating blood and tissues in order to regulate systemic homeostasis. During vascular disease, the normal function and phenotype of endothelial ... -
The Role of Differential Sensitivity to Retinoic Acid (RA) in Regulating Spermatogonial Fate
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)In the mammalian testis, the foundation of spermatogenesis is provided by spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs); their progeny either remain as stem cells (following a self-renewal division) or proliferate as undifferentiated ... -
THE ROLE OF RETINOIC ACID IN DIRECTING INITIATION OF SPERMATOGENESIS IN THE MOUSE
(East Carolina University, 2015-10-23)The basic tenets of gametogenesis are conserved among metazoans. After lineage commitment, germ cells proliferate, complete meiosis, and then differentiate into gametes capable of fertilization. In the mouse, spermatogenesis ... -
THE THERAPEUTIC ROLE OF RHO GTPASES IN TUMORIGENESIS AND CHEMOTHEARPY-INDUCED PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)With the advancement of chemotherapy drugs, the general life expectancy of cancer patients has drastically improved. However, persistent side effects, such as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), often severely ... -
The therapeutic effect of Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632 on protection from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
(2018-04-17)Cisplatin often causes loss of touch sensitivity in the hands and feet of cancer patients as well as tingling, numbness, and a shooting or burning pain; these clinical symptoms are referred to as chemotherapy-induced ... -
The therapeutic effect of Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632 on protection from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
(2018-03-26)Cisplatin often causes loss of touch sensitivity in the hands and feet of cancer patients as well as tingling, numbness, and a shooting or burning pain; these clinical symptoms are referred to as chemotherapy-induced ... -
The therapeutic potential of Rho GTPase intervention
(East Carolina University, 2013)Small GTPases of the Rho family are well established regulators of critical cellular functions including cytoskeletal remodeling, motility, vesicle trafficking and cell cycle control. Additionally, aberrant signaling ... -
TIMECOURSE OF SYNAPSE DEVELOPMENT IN HUMAN IPSC-DERIVED NEURONS
(East Carolina University, 2019-06-12)Understanding the underlying mechanisms in brain formation give an insight to what affects the formation of the brain when affected with autism, specifically, the excitatory and inhibitory synapses. The mechanism of how ...
