Differential regulation of the attachment of KSHV infected human B cells to ECM by KSHV encoded gB and cellular alpha-V integrins
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has two modes replication: latent and lytic replication. Reactivation from latency is dictated, in part, by the cell cycle. Herein, we have attempted to delineate the importance ... -
Differentiation-dependent Requirement of Tsix long non-coding RNA in Imprinted X-chromosome Inactivation
(2014-06)Imprinted X-inactivation is a paradigm of mammalian transgenerational epigenetic regulation resulting in silencing of genes on the paternally-inherited X-chromosome. The pre-programmed fate of the X-chromosomes is thought ... -
Diffusion and perfusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging for tumor volume definition in radiotherapy of brain tumors
(2016-09-21)Abstract Accurate target volume delineation is crucial for the radiotherapy of tumors. Diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide functional information about brain tumors, and they ... -
DINITROBENZENES STIMULATE ELECTRON FLUX WITHIN NEURONAL NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE IN THE ABSENCE OF CALMODULIN
(2011)Efficient electron transfer and conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline and nitric oxide (NO●) by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) requires calmodulin (CaM) binding. The present study focused on electron transfer ... -

Discourse Process Training and Attention Process Training 2 in Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)Persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) often present with relatively preserved lexical and grammatical skills but exhibit discourse level deficits which negatively affect functional communication. Discourse following ... -
Discourse Processing in Neurologically Healthy Adults: A Cross-Modal Eye tracking Study
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-20)One of the methods to study discourse comprehension is inference revision. Inferencing can be defined as a controlled, information-generation process that requires deductive reasoning abilities (Kintsch, 1998). Studies ...
