INVESTIGATING THE MOLECULAR MECHANISMS UNDERLYING SKIN FRAGILITY IN TP63-LINKED ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIAS
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-28)Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate (AEC) syndrome and ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip/palate (EEC) syndrome are two rare autosomal dominant disorders caused by heterozygous mutations occurring ... -
Investigating the Relationship between Environmental Lead Exposures and the Onset of Alzheimer's Disease Pathologies
(2014)It is been estimated that nearly 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's Disease (AD), making finding its cause one of medicine's top priorities. It has long been known that genetics plays a major role in the development ... -
Investigating the role of CRL5, an ubiquitin ligase, in ovarian follicle development.
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)During oogenesis, follicle cells surround maturing oocytes, which produce factors necessary for proper oocyte growth and development. Correct encapsulation of the oocyte by follicle cells is therefore essential for ... -
Investigating the Role of CtBP in Colorectal Cancer
(2015-04-29)Recent studies in breast cancer tissue have demonstrated that C-terminal binding protein (CtBP) over-expression induces stem cell-like features and genome instability; whereas CtBP depletion or caloric restriction reverses ... -
Investigating the role of soil legacy effects and community engagement in the management of Lespedeza cuneata, an invasive legume
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-23)Invasive plant species present a growing threat to biodiversity. Many invasive plants are able to recruit microbial symbionts in their novel range and establish plant-soil feedbacks that influence growth and fitness. These ... -
Investigating the role of transcription factor, Trl, during germline development in the Drosophila ovary
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-22)Oogenesis is the process by which an egg develops from undifferentiated cells in the ovary. The Drosophila melanogaster ovary is an assembly line for egg production, making it a great system to investigate initial oocyte ... -
IS PREDATION BY TURTLES SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO AFFECT BIODIVERSITY WITHIN FISHLESS PONDS?
(East Carolina University, 2011)Ecologists have long known that predation can have a strong effect on the diversity and abundance of prey in ecological communities. Much evidence on the importance of predation in aquatic systems has stemmed from studies ... -
KNOWLEDGE AND PERCEPTION OF TYPE 2 DIABETES PREVALENCE AND TREATMENT AMONG STUDENTS AT EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)The present study will investigate the basic understanding of type 2 diabetes treatment and prevalence among college students in Eastern North Carolina. The data gathered could promote programs that more effectively educate ...
