The AKT inhibitor MK-2206 is cytotoxic in hepatocarcinoma cells displaying hyperphosphorylated AKT-1 and synergizes with conventional chemotherapy
(2013-08-24)Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common potentially lethal human malignancies worldwide. Advanced or recurrent HCC is frequently resistant to conventional chemotherapeutic agents and radiation. Therefore, ... -
All's well that begins Wells: Celebrating 60 years of Animal Behaviour and 36 years of research on anuran social behaviour
(2012-12-04)The scientific study of frogs and toads as important systems in behavioural ecology traces its roots to an influential review published in this journal 36 years ago (Wells 1977a, ‘The social behaviour of anuran amphibians’, ... -
Alternative splicing of UCP1 by non-cell-autonomous action of PEMT
(2019-11-08)Phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase (PEMT) generates phosphatidylcholine (PC), the most abundant phospholipid in the mitochondria and an important acyl chain donor for cardiolipin (CL) biosynthesis. Mice lacking ... -
An Endeavor in Integrated Innovation: "Green Building Interact"
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)Through the use of immersive technologies, specifically augmented and virtual reality, I have designed a mobile application that allows the user to step inside the design process of green buildings. My intention with this ... -
Anaerobic utilization of Fe(III)-xenosiderophores among Bacteroides species and the distinct assimilation of Fe(III)- ferrichrome by Bacteroides fragilis within the genus
(2017-08)In this study, we show that Bacteroides species utilize Fe(III)-xenosiderophores as the only source of exogenous iron to support growth under iron-limiting conditions in vitro anaerobically. Bacteroides fragilis was the ... -
Analysis of the B-RAFV600E mutation in cutaneous melanoma patients with occupational sun exposure
(2014)Sun-exposure is one of the risk factors associated with the development of a cutaneous neoplasm. In melanoma, the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK (MAPK) signaling pathway is constitutively activated through multiple mechanisms, including ... -
Analysis of the Germination of Individual Clostridium sporogenes Spores with and without Germinant Receptors and Cortex-Lytic Enzymes
(2017-10-25)The Gram-positive spore-forming anaerobe Clostridium sporogenes is a significant cause of food spoilage, and it is also used as a surrogate for C. botulinum spores for testing the efficacy of commercial sterilization. C. ... -
Analysis of the Maize dicer-like1 Mutant, fuzzy tassel, Implicates MicroRNAs in Anther Maturation and Dehiscence
(2016-01-08)Sexual reproduction in plants requires development of haploid gametophytes from somatic tissues. Pollen is the male gametophyte and develops within the stamen; defects in the somatic tissues of the stamen and in the male ... -
Analytical formulas for differential cross sections for ejection of electrons in ionization of water by protons in the PWBA and ECPSSR
(2015)For comparison with measured ionization cross sections as a function of the ejected electrons from water by protons, analytical formulas of the plane-wave Born approximation (PWBA) and the ECPSSR theory – that accounting ... -
