Effects of Ectopic Expression of NGAL on Doxorubicin Sensitivity
(2012-10)Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL, a.k.a Lnc2) is a member of the lipocalin family which has diverse roles including stabilizing matrix metalloproteinase-9 from auto-degradation and as siderocalins which are ... -
Effects of Exogenous and Autocrine Growth Hormone (hGH) on Prostate Cancer Cell Function
(East Carolina University, 2012)Human growth hormone (hGH) is a major product of the anterior pituitary. In addition to its endocrine activities, hGH overexpression in extra-pituitary tissues has been correlated with the oncogenic behavior of these ... -
Effects of palindromes on in vivo DNA replication and mutagenesis in bacteriophage phi X174 RF DNA.
(East Carolina University, 1988-11-25)Bacteriophage IX174 mutants with insertions of palindromic DNA sequences are rapidly outgrown by competing wild-type phage (Muller & Turnage, J. Mol. Biol. 189: 285). The basis for this defect was investigated and found ... -
