EXPLORING THE BYSTANDER EFFECT FOLLOWING VERY LOW DOSE RADIATION
(East Carolina University, 2010)Bystander effects are defined as the phenomenon in which unirradiated cells respond biologically when their neighbors are irradiated. The exact mechanisms of these cellular responses are still not known, especially in ... -
Exploring the Potential of Sucralose as a Cryopreservative for Red Blood Cells
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-11)Cryopreservation is a technique that involves freezing living cells to preserve them in long-term storage. Freezing and preserving living cells would not be possible without the assistance of cryopreservatives. Many ... -
Exploring the roles of horizotnal gene transfer in metazoans
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)Horizontal gene transfer (HGT; also known as lateral gene transfer, LGT) refers to the movement of genetic information between distinct species by overcoming normal mating barriers. Historically HGT is only considered to ... -
Exposure To Elevated Prenatal Testosterone Metabolites Induce Autism-Like Behavior In Rats : Evidence For The Extreme Male Brain And Implications For Human Health
(East Carolina University, 2015)Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) originate during early brain development and are the result of complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Disruptions in the prenatal ... -
An Extensive New Literature Concerning Low-Dose Effects of Bisphenol A Shows the Need for a New Risk Assessment
(East Carolina University, 2005-08)Bisphenol A (BPA) is the monomer used to manufacture polycarbonate plastic, the resin lining of cans, and other products, with global capacity in excess of 6.4 billion lb/year. Because the ester bonds in these BPA-based ... -
Fear of Aquatic Predators Cause Prey to Alter Their Phenotype at Multiple Life Stages
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-27)Many organisms can alter their behavior, life history, and morphology in response to their environment. This ability is known as phenotypic plasticity. One of the major environmental cues that triggers a phenotypic plastic ... -
Fine-mapping a novel locus on Chromosome 1 for associations with recurrent stroke
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-18)INTRODUCTION: Stroke is a complex, multifactorial cerebrovascular disease that afflicts millions of individuals both nationally and globally. Of the annual 795,000 stroke incidents, approximately 185,000 are recurrent ... -
Fish assemblage and habitat use in North Carolina and Virginia waters during the annual Cooperative Winter Tagging Cruise, 1988-2013
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)Long-term ecological research can be valuable in understanding ecosystem function and species requirements, allowing managers to better regulate and enforce strategies for continued use of the resource, commercially and ...
