Radioprotective Effect of American Ginseng on Human Lymphocytes at 90 Minutes Post-irradiation: A Study of 40 Cases
(East Carolina University, 2010-05)Backgroundâ Ionizing radiation (IR) initiates intracellular oxidative stress through enhanced formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that attack DNA leading to cell death. As the diversity of IR applied in medicine, ... -
Raf-Induced Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Augments Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Infection
(East Carolina University, 2004-12)Recombinant green fluorescent protein encoding Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (rKSHV.152) infection of -estradiol stimulated human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) or HFF/ B-Raf[FF]:ER (expressing a weaker form of ... -
Raman spectroscopy: the gateway into tomorrow's virology
(East Carolina University, 2006-06-28)In the molecular world, researchers act as detectives working hard to unravel the mysteries surrounding cells. One of the researchers' greatest tools in this endeavor has been Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy is a ... -
Raman tweezers provide the fingerprint of cells supporting the late stages of KSHV reactivation
(East Carolina University, 2009-08)Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has both latent and lytic phases of replication. The molecular switch that triggers a reactivation is still unclear. Cells from S phase of cell cycle provide apt conditions ... -
Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR Cascade Inhibitors: How Mutations Can Result in Therapy Resistance and How to Overcome Resistance
(2012-10)The Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR cascades are often activated by genetic alterations in upstream signaling molecules such as receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). Integral components of these pathways, Ras, B-Raf, ... -
