Molecular Connections between Cancer Cell Metabolism and the Tumor Microenvironment
(2015)Cancer cells preferentially utilize glycolysis, instead of oxidative phosphorylation, for metabolism even in the presence of oxygen. This phenomenon of aerobic glycolysis, referred to as the “Warburg effect”, commonly ... -
Molecular mechanisms of peripheral nerve regeneration: Emerging roles of microRNAs
(2013-04-01)microRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that suppress gene expression through target mRNA degradation or translation repression. Recent studies suggest that miRNA plays an important role in multiple physiological and pathological ... -
Molecular targeting of the Aurora-A/SMAD5 oncogenic axis restores chemosensitivity in human breast cancer cells
(2017-09-01)Although the majority of breast cancers initially respond to the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents, most breast cancer patients experience tumor relapse and ultimately die because of drug resistance. Breast ... -
Monitoring Rice Phenology Based on Backscattering Characteristics of Multi-Temporal RADARSAT-2 Datasets
(2018-02-23)Accurate estimation and monitoring of rice phenology is necessary for the management and yield prediction of rice. The radar backscattering coefficient, one of the most direct and accessible parameters has been proved to ... -
Monopolar Detection Thresholds Predict Spatial Selectivity of Neural Excitation in Cochlear Implants: Implications for Speech Recognition
(2016)The objectives of the study were to (1) investigate the potential of using monopolar psychophysical detection thresholds for estimating spatial selectivity of neural excitation with cochlear implants and to (2) examine the ... -
The moral discourses of ‘post-crisis’ neoliberalism: a case study of Lithuania’s Labour Code reform
(2017-03)This article problematizes the neoliberal reconfiguration of labour rights in Lithuania, a newer European Union member state, in which the impacts of the global economic and financial crisis were particularly severe and ... -
Moving Beyond the Gym: A Content Analysis of YouTube as an Information Resource for Physical Literacy
(2019-09-10)The Internet, and particularly YouTube, has been found to be and continues to develop as a resourceful educational space for health-related information. Understanding physical literacy as a lifelong health-related outcome ... -
“Moving Toward Healthy”: Insights Into Food Choices of Mothers in Residential Recovery
(2016-11)This study utilized participatory and potentially empowering qualitative research methods of photo-elicitation and face- to-face interviews to investigate food choices of mothers living with their children in a residential ... -
MPK-1/ERK is required for the full activity of resveratrol in extended lifespan and reproduction.
(2018-12-21)Resveratrol (RSV) extends the lifespan of various organisms through activation of sirtuin. However, whether RSV-mediated longevity is entirely dependent upon sirtuin is still controversial. Thus, understanding additional ... -
MucR binds multiple target sites in the promoter of its own gene and is a heat-stable protein: Is MucR a H-NS-like protein?
(2018-03-31)The protein MucR from Brucella spp. is involved in the expression regulation of genes necessary for host interaction and infection. MucR is a member of the Ros/MucR family, which comprises prokaryotic zinc-finger proteins ... -
Multi-Criteria Analysis Of Offshore Wind Energy Site Suitability In North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)There is growing social, political, and economic interest in developing renewable energy technologies in an effort to create a more sustainable and secure energy market. Wind energy has potential to satisfy energy needs ... -
A multi-sensor approach to examining the distribution of total suspended matter (TSM) in the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System, NC, USA
(2011)For many coastal waters, total suspended matter (TSM) plays a major role in key biological, chemical and geological processes. Effective mapping and monitoring technologies for TSM are therefore needed to support research ... -
Multi-walled carbon nanotube instillation impairs pulmonary function in C57BL/6 mice
(2011-08-18)Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are widely used in many disciplines due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Therefore, some concerns about the possible human health and environmental impacts of ... -

(2013-08-20)Objectives To test the efficacy of a multicomponent technology intervention for reducing daily sedentary time and improving cardiometabolic disease risk among sedentary, overweight university employees. Design Blinded, ... -
The Multifunctional Protein BAG3: A Novel Therapeutic Target in Cardiovascular Disease
(2018-02-26)The B-cell lymphoma 2–associated anthanogene (BAG3) protein is expressed most prominently in the heart, the skeletal muscle, and in many forms of cancer. In the heart, it serves as a co-chaperone with heat shock proteins ... -
Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling of Students’ Dietary Intentions/Behaviors, BMI, and the Healthfulness of Convenience Stores
(2018-10-23)When dietary behaviors are habitual, intentions are low, and environmental cues, such as the consumer food environment, might guide behavior. How might intentions to eat healthily and ultimately actual dietary behaviors, ... -
Murine mesothelin: characterization, expression, and inhibition of tumor growth in a murine model of pancreatic cancer
(2016)Background: Mesothelin has attracted much interest as a tumor specific antigen; it has been reported to promote tumor development and to be a good target for cancer treatment. Most studies to date have used human mesothelin ... -
