Drug-resistance in doxorubicin-resistant FL5.12 hematopoietic cells: elevated MDR1, drug efflux and side-population positive and decreased BCL2-family member expression
(2017-12-06)
Chemotherapeutic drug treatment can result in the emergence of drug-resistant cells. By culturing an interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent cell line, FL5.12 cells in the presence of the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin, we ...
Health effects following subacute exposure to geogenic dust collected from active drainage surfaces (Nellis Dunes Recreation Area, Las Vegas, NV)
(2017-01)
The specific health effects of direct inhalation of fine minerogenic dusts generated by natural soil surfaces remain poorly known and relatively little researched. To learn more about this exposure and its contri- bution ...
Positive mRNA Translational Control in Germ Cells by Initiation Factor Selectivity
(2015)
Ultimately, the production of new proteins in undetermined cells pushes them to new fates. Other proteins hold a stem cell in a mode of self-renewal. In germ cells, these decision-making proteins are produced largely from ...
Covariates of Identified Stress and Depression among Seasonal Farmworkers
(2017-06-30)
Many noted difficulties of farmworker life result in increased risk for stress and depression. To date, limited research has focused primarily on seasonal farmworkers; much of the prior research examines migrant farmworkers ...
Prevalence of coronary heart disease risk factors in physical education students
(2015)
Abstract To establish the prevalence of coronary risk in physical education students, and compare risk between the genders and the years of course. We evaluated 246 physical education students using RISKO questionnaire to ...
Predictors for Using a HIV Self-Test Among Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers in North Carolina
(2015-07)
Background: Approximately, two million migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSF) work in the United States annually. Several factors, such as lack of access to healthcare services and health behaviors, contribute to risk of ...
Prolactin and Dehydroepiandrosterone Levels in Women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: The Role of the Extrapituitary Prolactin Promoter Polymorphism at −1149G/T
(2015-10-25)
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has shown an association with high levels of prolactin, low levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and induction of inflammatory cytokines in the serum of patients with the disease. ...
Protection and sensitization of normal and tumor cells to proton radiation by cerium oxide nanoparticles
(2015-11)
Cerium oxide nanoparticles are investigated as radioprotectors and radiosensitizers for normal (healthy) and tumor cells for charged particle radiation. Results are presented for cell survival and DNA damage for in-vitro ...
The Bee Microbiome: Impact on Bee Health and Model for Evolution and Ecology of Host-Microbe Interactions
(2016)
As pollinators, bees are cornerstones for terrestrial ecosystem stability and key components in agricultural productivity. All animals, including bees, are associated with a diverse community of microbes, commonly referred ...
Biological significance of RNA-seq and single-cell genomic research in woody plants
(2019-04-01)
RNA-seq and single-cell genomic research emerge as an important research area in the recent years due to its ability to examine genetic information of any number of single cells in all living organisms. The knowledge gained ...
