Effects of Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara Expressing Mesothelin and the Poxvirus Immunoregulatory A35R gene in the Treatment of Murine Pancreatic Cancer
Freistaedter, Andrew G. (East Carolina University, 2012)Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Pancreatic tumors over-express the protein mesothelin, and therefore, it is used as a tumor target antigen for vaccine development. ... -
Effects of Nicotine on Caenorhabditis elegans survival, reproduction, and gene expressions : Development of an Invertebrate Animal Model for Drugs of Abuse
Smith, Michael A. (East Carolina University, 2011)Although much is known about the addictive effects of nicotine, the molecular mechanisms of nicotine-induced effects remain largely unclear. Specifically, little is known about the effects of nicotine on gene expression, ... -
Effects of nutrient addition on plant community composition: a functional trait analysis in a long-term experiment
Tate, Emily M (East Carolina University, 2018-07-19)The effects of nutrient availability on plant community composition and diversity have been well-documented, but the mechanisms behind the community response remain unclear. Plant species interact with variation in the ... -
Effects Of Nutrient Availability And Disturbance On The Composition And Diversity Of Soil Microorganisms
Thigpen, Joshua C. (East Carolina University, 2015)Determining how factors such as disturbance and nutrient availability affect species diversity in a community has been a major goal of community ecology. The purpose of this study was to look at how species diversity and ... -

THE EFFECTS OF PRENATAL LEAD EXPOSURE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIOMARKERS OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
Wood, Andrew (2015-04)While often well known for its adverse effects on memory, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is also noteworthy for being the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. An estimated 5.2 million Americans had the disease as ... -
Effects of progesterone nuclear receptor on dopaminergic nuclei involved in social aggression in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Priest, Allison M (East Carolina University, 2021-05-28)Aggression is tightly controlled by hormonal and neural regulation in all social animals. Although extensive effort has been invested in studying the neuroendocrine bases of aggressive behavior, our knowledge of the role ... -

EFFECTS OF SODIUM BENOZATE ON FAT DEPOSITION AND GROWTH IN CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS
Lewis, Leia (East Carolina University, 2019-07-11)Clinical observation has proposed the linkage between the occurrence of obesity and slow weight loss with daily exposure to common food additives such as sodium benzoate. However, well-controlled laboratory experiments on ... -
Effects of temperature, flow, and climate factors on inter-annual variation of larval fish assemblages in a coastal watershed
McCulloch, Tracy (East Carolina University, 2017-12-13)Predicting how populations will respond to future climate scenarios is of interest to ecologists and resource managers. Recent interest in the effect large-scale climate patterns have on local environmental conditions has ... -
Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on the Pharyngeal Pumping and Neurological Behavior of C. elegans
Lish, Luke R. (East Carolina University, 2018-08-02)Cogent data regarding the effects of manufactured zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) on human health and other organisms is limited. With the prominence of manufactured ZnO - NPs increasing rapidly in recent years, the ... -

Elucidating the mechanisms of Nickel as an animal mutagen
Campbell, Halbert Eugene (East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)Nickel is an essential metal for many organisms. Nickel occurs naturally from volcanism and weathering of stone. Recently production of nickel from anthropogenic sources has overtaken natural production. Combustion of ... -
EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT, SEED BANK POTENTIAL AND GERMINATION OF THE FEDERALLY ENDANGERED HERB OF PINE SAVANNAS, THALICTRUM
Dietrick, Erika M (East Carolina University, 2016-06-03)Plant conservation efforts strongly rely on knowledge of species seed biology and viability for further propagation. Virtually nothing is known about the seed biology of the federally endangered Thalictrum cooleyi Ahles ...
