Notch 3 Affects Chemoresistance in Colorectal Cancer via DNA Base Excision Repair Enzymes
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-28)Approximately 1.2 million cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) arise each year, and 40-50% of CRC patients will reach metastasis. The Notch pathway is known to be dysregulated in CRC, and its relationship with DNA repair ... -
Notch Signaling Mediates Drug Resistance in Colorectal Cancer Cells via Effects on DNA Repair Proteins
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women. Despite tremendous progress in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment ... -
Note taking skills using the LiveScribe pen: implications for college students diagnosed with learning disabilities
(East Carolina University, 2014)The purpose of this study was to examine whether the use of strategic note-taking with the LiveScribe© pen increased the quantity of idea units, quality of notes written down, and retention of information provided for ... -
Novel Nano-Based Antibacterial Therapeutic Against Hospital Acquired Infection
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-19)Rising nosocomial infections, also called hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), are of imminent public health concern as common antibiotics, such as ampicillin and kanamycin, are becoming less effective against bacterial ... -

NOVEL NUCLEOLAR LOCALIZATION OF SYNAPTOPODIN-2 ISOFORM IN PROLIFERATING HT-29 CELLS
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-13)Members of the Synaptopodin family regulate [alpha]-actinin and actin-bundling activity, in an isoform specific manner (Asunama et al., 2005). The ability to affect actin polymerization and bundling highlights the critical ... -
Novel roles for ecdysone receptor in the Drosophila germline
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-01)Oogenesis, the process by which a viable egg is produced, demands carefully coordinated communication between somatic and germ cell populations, relying on both local and systemic factors such as steroid hormones for ... -

NOVELTY DETECTION FOR PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Since the advent of Industry 4. 0 significant research has been conducted to apply machine learning to the vast array of Internet of Things (IoT) data produced by Industrial Machines. One such topic is to Predictive ... -
NR5A family member ftz-f1 is necessary to promote oocyte development
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)Gamete production in mammals and insects is intimately tied to nutrition status. Conversion of nutritionally-dependent physiological signals to molecular mechanisms underlying control of oogenesis, however, remains largely ... -
NUTRIENT AND BACTERIA DYNAMICS OF PACKAGE TREATMENT PLANTS IN COASTAL CARTERET COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)Nutrient and bacteria enrichment problems are well documented in the waterways along North Carolina's coast. Surface and subsurface wastewater inputs have been documented as a source of these pollutants in a variety of ... -
NUTRIENT, BACTERIA, AND SEDIMENT FLUXES IN A NATURAL WETLAND: AN ECOSYSTEM SERVICE OR DISSERVICE?
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-17)Some wetlands have been shown to provide ecosystem services including flood water retention, water quality improvement, and habitat for wildlife and aquatic organisms. Wetlands are commonly created and/or restored to provide ... -
Oak, Steel, and Men: The History of USS Constitution through Artifact Biographies
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)USS Constitution is the oldest warship afloat in the world. After launching on 21 October 1797, the vessel served with distinction in the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812. While USS Constitution remains in port as a living ...
