Priority effects of overwintered Rana tadpoles on larval Southern toad (Bufo terrestris Bonnaterre)
(East Carolina University, 2010)
In natural ecosystems, the order of species arrival can impact the development of the community. In the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the Carolinas, wetland ponds exhibit a wide range of hydroperiods, ranging from ponds that ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF MIGRATING NEURAL CREST CELLS FROM HINDBRAIN EXPLANTS IN ZEBRAFISH
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Our lab was interested in creating a reproducible mechanism for obtaining neural crest cells in culture from cultured hindbrain explants of zebrafish. We have characterized the population of cells migrating from the ...
Characterization of the GINS subunit psf1 in Drosophila Melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2010)
GINS (Go Ichi Ni San; 5,1,2,3 in Japanese) is a heterotetrameric protein complex known to be essential for the establishment of DNA replication forks and the progression of the replisome. The GINS complex is known to be ...
Characterization of Site-Directed Mutants in the Cytochrome c-550 Protein of Photosystem II
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Photosynthesis is the process by which cyanobacteria, algae, and higher plants convert light energy to chemical energy via the biosynthesis of carbohydrates. Photosystem II is a multi-protein/pigment complex embedded in ...
Claudin-7 increases chemosensitivity to cisplatin in human NCI-H522 lung cancer cells
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death for both men and women worldwide. The 5-year survival rate for lung cancer is only 15%, and it accounts for approximately 1.4 million deaths every year. Recently, it has ...
PROLACTIN FUNCTION IN ZEBRAFISH DEVELOPMENT
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Extensive studies have implicated a myriad of functional roles for prolactin (PRL) and prolactin receptor (PRLR) across a variety of adult vertebrate species. However, much less is known about the physiological role(s) of ...
