Characterization of Pgrmcs and mPRs in oocyte maturation and ovulation in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)It is well known that progestins initiate important reproductive processes such as oocyte maturation and ovulation in vertebrates. Progestins exert functions through binding to progestin receptors. At least three families ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF PHOTORECEPTOR-CONTROLLED AGGREGATION AND DISAGGREGATION OF MICROPARTICLE SUSPENSIONS
(East Carolina University, 2021-06-23)Phytochromes are a unique classification of photoreceptors used by plants to perceive light for many physiological processes. Phytochrome B (PhyB) possesses two interconvertible forms which can be activated under specific ... -
Characterization of proteins binding the 3′ regulatory region of the IL-3 gene in IL-3-dependent and autocrine-transformed hematopoietic cells
(1998-03-08)Previously we documented the prolongation of the IL-3 mRNA half-life in an autocrine-transformed cell line. This cell line has an intracisternal type A particle transposition in the IL-3 mRNA 3′ untranslated region which ... -
Characterization of rat models of type two diabetes and metabolic syndrome and the evaluation of SDF-1 mRNA as a treatment for erectile dysfunction
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-24)Erectile Dysfunction (ED) affects a considerable population of men and can have a profound negative impact on their quality of life and well-being. ED is often a consequence of age and diseases that affect the microvasculature ... -
Characterization of Residential Pesticide Use and Chemical Formulations through Self-Report and Household Inventory: The Northern California Childhood Leukemia Study
(2012-10)Background: Home and garden pesticide use has been linked to cancer and other health outcomes in numerous epidemiological studies. Exposure has generally been self-reported, so the assessment is potentially limited by ... -
Characterization of Site-Directed Mutants in the Cytochrome c-550 Protein of Photosystem II
(East Carolina University, 2010)Photosynthesis is the process by which cyanobacteria, algae, and higher plants convert light energy to chemical energy via the biosynthesis of carbohydrates. Photosystem II is a multi-protein/pigment complex embedded in ... -
Characterization of Social Status-Dependent Neuromodulation in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-28)In zebrafish (Danio rerio), social interactions between adult males consist of a series of aggressive encounters that ultimately lead to the formation of stable hierarchies of either socially dominant or subordinate animals. ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF SOLID MODELS PRODUCED BY RAPID PROTOTYPING MACHINES
(2014)Parts produced by 3-D printers were tested to determine the mechanical properties and failure modes. Since 3-D printed parts are built up layer-by-layer, they do not have the same properties in all directions. In order ... -
Characterization of the avian GLUT1 glucose transporter: differential regulation of GLUT1 and GLUT3 in chicken embryo fibroblasts.
(East Carolina University, 1995-11)Vertebrate cells that are transformed by oncogenes such as v-src or are stimulated by mitogens have increased rates of glucose uptake. In rodent cels, the mechanisms whereby glucose transport is up-regulated are well ... -
Characterization of the Bone Marrow Microenvironment During the Development of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Metastases
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype that lacks expression of progesterone and estrogen receptors, and does not over-express human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). TNBC is not responsive to standard ...
