The Role of Mitochondrial Biogenesis in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Differentiation and Acquisition of a Cardiac Phenotype
Ajmera, Arun (East Carolina University, 2013)Introduction: With an increased understanding of myocardial infarction, human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) transplantation therapies have shown promising results as a possible treatment for heart failure. However, little ... -
THE ROLE OF SDF-1[alpha] AS A VASCULOGENIC CHEMOKINE AND ENDOTHELIUM-ASSOCIATED CELL ADHESION MOLECULE FOR THE RECRUITMENT OF BONE MARROW-DERIVED PROGENITOR CELLS TO DEVELOPING TUMORS
Joshi, Molishree Umesh (East Carolina University, 2010)Tumor vascularization is an important control point in cancer progression and its inhibition is a promising approach to cancer therapy. Stromal-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1 alpha or CXCL12) is a chemoattractant for ... -

Seasonal species assemblages in seagrass habitats of northeast Pamlico Sound
Whitt, Dylan Kennedy (East Carolina University, 2022-12-15)Large estuarine habitats support a wide variety different species that use these areas for habitat. However, species assemblages are still poorly described over large areas of estuarine habitat. The underrepresentation of ... -
Selection's Role in Maintaining a Color Polymorphism in the Sulawesi Fish Telmatherina antoniae
Varnell, Drew T (East Carolina University, 2022-12-16)Explaining the extraordinary genetic variation present in natural populations is a central and longstanding problem of evolutionary biology. Color polymorphisms have proven to be powerful models for studying how genetic ... -
SEQUENCING AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MITOCHONDRIAL CYTOCHROME B GENE IN THE MARION UPLANDS FLORIDA SAND SKINK (PLESTIODON REYNOLDSI)
Locklear, Taylor R. (East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)The Florida sand skink (Plestiodon reynoldsi)—a small (~10 cm) lizard endemic to the peninsula—is a ‘sand-swimming’ specialist restricted to Florida scrub habitat on the state’s central highland ridges. Florida scrub has ... -
