The induction of antigen-specific immunological tolerance and attenuation of inflammation via cytokine antigen fusion protein therapy in a mouse model of pulmonary inflammation
(East Carolina University, 2014)Allergic asthma is a significant medical issue, affecting more than 300 million individuals and causing approximately 250,000 deaths each year. Current asthma therapies temporarily minimize discomfort and manage symptoms, ... -
The influence of a motivational interviewing based computerized screening assessment on veteran request for mental health services and treatment entrance rates
(East Carolina University, 2014)Military veterans experience high prevalence rates of mental illness, substance use disorders (SUDs), and traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, veterans enter into treatment for these problems at very low rates. Mental ... -
Influence of carbon nanomaterial exposure on pro-constrictor mechanisms during pregnancy
(East Carolina University, 2013)Engineered carbon based nanoparticles (CNP) such as fullerenes and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are increasingly used in industries and in nanomedicine as a platform for drug delivery. Following environmental/o ... -
