Nocturnal thoracoabdominal asynchrony in house dust mite-sensitive nonhuman primates
(2010)Nocturnal bronchoconstriction is a common symptom of asthma in humans, but is poorly documented in animal models. Thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA) is a noninvasive clinical indication of airway obstruction. In this study, ... -
Non-dairy treats leave lactose behind with alternative ingredients
(2022-01-12)This is a weekly Q and A newspaper column under the byline of Dr. Kathy Kolasa. Today's column is about how to still enjoy frozen desserts when you are lactose intolerance. Also, this column provides information about ... -
Non-stuttering biofeedback method and apparatus using daf
(2003-11-06)Methods, devices and systems treat non-stuttering speech and/or language related disorders by administering a delayed auditory feedback signal having a delay of under about 200 ms via a portable device. The DAF treatment ... -
A non-tight junction function of claudin-7—Interaction with integrin signaling in suppressing lung cancer cell proliferation and detachment
(2015-06-17)Background Claudins are a family of tight junction (TJ) membrane proteins involved in a broad spectrum of human diseases including cancer. Claudin-7 is a unique TJ membrane protein in that it has a strong basolateral ... -
Nonreceptor Tyrosine Kinase c-Yes Interacts with Occludin during Tight Junction Formation in Canine Kidney Epithelial Cells
(East Carolina University, 2002-04)Occludin is an integral membrane protein that is tyrosine phosphorylated when localized at tight junctions. When Ca2 was depleted from the culture medium, occludin tyrosine phosphorylation was diminished from Madin-Darby ... -
North Carolina's Pediatric Obesity Clinician Reference Guide and Tool Kit
(2009-07-27)This poster presents the tools developed by clinicians treating childhood obesity in North Carolina. The history of the development of these tools is outlined at the end of the accompanying abstract submission to the ... -
North Carolina's Plan to Address Obesity: Healthy Weight and Healthy Communities
(2013-02-07)This presentation describes the 2013-2020 NC Obesity Plan. Evidence based core behaviors are described as well as strategies for encouraging the adoption of those behaviors in worksites, health care and colleges and ... -
Notch 3 Affects Chemoresistance in Colorectal Cancer via DNA Base Excision Repair Enzymes
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-28)Approximately 1.2 million cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) arise each year, and 40-50% of CRC patients will reach metastasis. The Notch pathway is known to be dysregulated in CRC, and its relationship with DNA repair ... -
Notch Signaling Mediates Drug Resistance in Colorectal Cancer Cells via Effects on DNA Repair Proteins
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women. Despite tremendous progress in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment ... -
A Novel A1 Adenosine Receptor Antagonist, L-97-1 [3-[2-(4-Aminophenyl)-ethyl]-8-benzyl-7-{2-ethyl-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-amino]-ethyl}-1-propyl-3,7-dihydro-purine-2,6-dione], Reduces Allergic Responses to House Dust Mite in an Allergic Rabbit Model of Asthma
(East Carolina University, 2005-10)Adenosine, an important signaling molecule in asthma, produces bronchoconstriction in asthmatics. Adenosine produces bronchoconstriction in allergic rabbits, primates, and humans by activating A1 adenosine receptors (ARs). ... -
Novel autoinducer molecules and uses therefor
(2002-03-07)Novel bacterial quinolone signal molecules and, more particularly, pseudomonas quinolone signal ('PQS') molecules, e.g., 2-heptyl-3hydroxy-4-quinolone, and analogs and derivatives thereof are described, Therapeutic ... -
NOVEL BIOLOGICS PROMOTE STABLE EXPANSION OF REGULATORY CD25HIGH FOXP3+ T LYMPHOCYTES AS A MEANS FOR AN ADOPTIVE CELL-BASED IMMUNOTHERAPY
(East Carolina University, 2021-06-18)Autoimmune disease arises when a breakdown in immunological self-tolerance causes self-reactive tissue destruction. In Multiple Sclerosis (MS), myelin reactive CD4+ T cells initiate an immune attack on the myelin sheath ... -
Novel Combination of Sorafenib and Celecoxib Provides Synergistic Anti-Proliferative and Pro-Apoptotic Effects in Human Liver Cancer Cells
(2013)Molecular targeted therapy has shown promise as a treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, recently received FDA approval for the treatment of advanced HCC. However, although ... -
A novel DAG-dependent mechanism links PKCa and Cyclin B1 regulating cell cycle progression
(2014-11)Through the years, different studies showed the involvement of Protein Kinase C (PKC) in cell cycle control, in particular during G1/S transition. Little is known about their role at G2/M checkpoint. In this study, using ... -
Novel diagnostic and analytical applications of benchtop time-domain NMR.
(East Carolina University, 2015)High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique, yet practical application outside of the research laboratory has been limited due to the high cost and complexity of the instrumentation. ...
