Molecular mechanisms of peripheral nerve regeneration: emerging roles of microRNAs
(2013-02)MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that suppress gene expression through target mRNA degradation or translation repression. Recent studies suggest that miRNA plays an important role in multiple physiological and pathological ... -
Molecular mechanisms of TMEFF2 action in Prostate Cancer
(East Carolina University, 2013)The transmembrane protein with epidermal growth factor and two follistatin motifs 2 (TMEFF2) is an evolutionarily conserved type I transmembrane protein expressed in the embryo and limited adult tissues, mainly the brain ... -
Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Cannabidiol-Improved Vocal Recovery Following Damage to a Songbird Vocal Pre-Motor Cortical-Like Region
(East Carolina University, 2023-04-27)The non-euphorigenic phytocannabinoid CBD has been found to be effective in treating childhood-onset epilepsies, conditions that are often associated with developmental delays, including vocal communication. Zebra finch ... -
The Molecular Nature of Tumorigenesis
(East Carolina University, 2013)This paper is an exploration of the molecular aspects behind the tumor development process. Robert Weinberg provides an in-depth analysis of the subject matter over a series of publications entitled The Hallmarks of Cancer, ... -
Molecular phylogenetic evidence for a mimetic radiation in Peruvian poison frogs supports a Müllerian mimicry hypothesis.
(East Carolina University, 2001-12-07)Examples of Müllerian mimicry, in which resemblance between unpalatable species confers mutual benefit, are rare in vertebrates. Strong comparative evidence for mimicry is found when the colour and pattern of a single ... -
Molecular targeting of the Aurora-A/SMAD5 oncogenic axis restores chemosensitivity in human breast cancer cells
(2017-09-01)Although the majority of breast cancers initially respond to the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents, most breast cancer patients experience tumor relapse and ultimately die because of drug resistance. Breast ... -
Mollie Huston Lee: Founder of Raleigh's Public Black Library
(1998)The establishment of the first black library in Raleigh is described within the context of both North Carolina history and library development in the South. -
MONITORING FISH SPAWNING LOCATIONS AND MARINE MAMMAL SOUNDS WITH PASSIVE ACOUSTIC RECORDER ON A WAVE GLIDER
(2019-07-08)Remote observations of marine animal behavior have one distinct advantage over direct observations: the observer is not present to disturb the animals. There are no vessel noises, no diver’s bubbles, no people present that ... -
Monitoring Rice Phenology Based on Backscattering Characteristics of Multi-Temporal RADARSAT-2 Datasets
(2018-02-23)Accurate estimation and monitoring of rice phenology is necessary for the management and yield prediction of rice. The radar backscattering coefficient, one of the most direct and accessible parameters has been proved to ... -
Monoamine Oxidase is a Major Determinant of Redox Balance in Human Atrial Myocardium and is Associated With Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation
(2014-02)BACKGROUND: Onset of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common and costly complication of heart surgery despite major improvements in surgical technique and quality of patient care. The etiology of POAF, and ... -
Monoclonal antibody DS6, tumor-associated antigen CA6, and methods of use thereof
(2003-07-22)The present application describes a monoclonal antibody selected from the group consisting of monoclonal antibody DS6, monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to the antigen or epitope bound by monoclonal antibody ... -
Monopolar Detection Thresholds Predict Spatial Selectivity of Neural Excitation in Cochlear Implants: Implications for Speech Recognition
(2016)The objectives of the study were to (1) investigate the potential of using monopolar psychophysical detection thresholds for estimating spatial selectivity of neural excitation with cochlear implants and to (2) examine the ... -
A Monte Carlo Evaluation of the Application of Variance Partitioning to the Assessment of Construct-related Validity
(East Carolina University, 2012)The present study presents a Monte Carlo evaluation of the application of variance partitioning to the assessment of the construct-related validity of assessment center (AC) post exercise dimension ratings (PEDRs). Data ...
