Several lines of research have revealed a relationship between reading disorders (RD) and auditory temporal processing deficits. That is, subtle, yet rapid changes within an acoustic message are more difficult for individuals ...
The role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma in surfactant catabolism in the alveolar macrophage
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a lung disease characterized by surfactant accumulation in the alveolar spaces and alveolar macrophages. Although PAP is rare, surfactant abnormalities occur in many lung diseases ...
Responses of dominant marsh macrophytes to inundation and disturbance and assessing marsh ecosystem services
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Within two hydrodynamically different inundation regimes in North Carolina, the growth response and interactions of two dominant marsh macrophytes were evaluated over a range of inundation periods to understand better how ...
Enforced expression of HoxA9 in b-lineage all promotes survival and proliferation of leukemic cells
(East Carolina University, 2009)
HoxA9 is frequently overexpressed in acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome and a subset of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In mouse models, HoxA9 has been shown to promote leukemogenesis. In spite of a seemingly ...
