Delta-Catenin Induced Dendritic Morphogenesis: An Essential Role of p190RhoGEF Interaction through Akt1 Mediated Phosphorylation
(East Carolina University, 2008-01-11)delta-Catenin was first identified through its interaction with Presenilin-1 and has been implicated in the regulation of dendrogenesis and cognitive function. However, the molecular mechanisms by which delta-catenin ... -
delta-Catenin promotes prostate cancer cell growth and progression by altering cell cycle and survival gene profiles
(East Carolina University, 2009-03-10)Background: delta-Catenin is a unique member of delta-catenin/armadillo domain superfamily proteins and its primary expression is restricted to the brain. However, delta-catenin is upregulated in human prostatic adenocarcinomas, ... -
[Delta]-catenin: implications in prostate cancer progression
(East Carolina University, 2014)Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second most common cause of cancer death among men in the US. Due to the advances in research, the ability to detect and cure PCa has improved and led to ... -
Deoxyguanosine-resistant Leukemia L1210 Cells: Loss of Specific Deoxyribonecleoside Kinase Activity
(East Carolina University, 1993-01-05)A mouse leukemia L1210 cell line was selected for resistance to deoxyguanosine. The deoxyguanosine-resistant cells (dGuo-R) were 126-fold less sensitive to deoxyguanosine than the wild-type cells. The IC50 values for araC ... -
Developing an agenda for research about policies to improve access to healthy foods in rural communities: a concept mapping study
(2014)Background Policies that improve access to healthy, affordable foods may improve population health and reduce health disparities. In the United States most food access policy research focuses on urban communities even ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL-MODELCULE INHIGITORS OF THE INTIATING PROTEASES, C1r AND C1s, OF THE CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY
(2019-12)Complement is a proteolytic cascade that upon activation plays a key effector role in the innate immune system and acts to prime the adaptive immune response. During normal homeostatic events, complement is tightly regulated ... -

(East Carolina University, 2019-12-12)Complement is a proteolytic cascade that upon activation plays a key effector role in the innate immune system and acts to prime the adaptive immune response. During normal homeostatic events, complement is tightly regulated ... -
Developmental lead exposure and the exacerbation of Alzheimer's pathology: an immunological analysis
(East Carolina University, 2014)Early neuroimmune dysfunction may play a driving role in the etiopathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), stemming from the hypothesis that many late-stage adult diseases have an early-life basis. Here we explore whether ... -
Diabetes Education in Rural Appalachia
(2010-10-28)Introduction: Diabetes education has long been a problem at rural health sites like Tug River Health Association at Gary, WV. Many providers expressed a need of handouts on diabetic topics that are both informative and ...
