Bisphosphonate therapy, wound healing and the pathobiology of osteonecrosis of the jawbone [abstract]
Ning, Jie (2010-02)Bisphosphonates (BP) like Zometa (ZA) are widely used to treat complications of bony metastases in cancer patients, with 3 million patients receiving BP therapy worldwide. A serious adverse event occurs in 1-12% of patients ... -
Development and function of the mandibular symphysis in mammals [abstract]
Anderson, Christina; Ning, Jie; Stack, M. Sharon, 1959- (2010)The mandibular symphysis is the midsagittal articulation between left and right dentaries that is the third jaw joint of the mammalian feeding complex. There is remarkable evolutionary diversity in symphyseal anatomy that ... -
Do type I collagen defects that cause Osteogenesis Imperfecta result in an inherent muscle pathology? [abstract]
McCambridge, Amanda; Weber, Bettina A., 1979-; Phillips, Charlotte L.; Carleton, Stephanie M., 1979-; Ning, Jie; Ferreira, J. A.; Brown, Marybeth (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a congenital connective tissue disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density and increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. In addition to skeletal fragility, patients ... -
Estrogen receptor [alpha] and [beta] knock-out effects on skeletal muscle in mature female and male mice, and aromatase knock-out effects on skeletal muscle in mature male mice
Ning, Jie (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Estrogen regulates skeletal muscle mass and function in female. Estrogen may influence skeletal muscle mass and function during development in males ... -
Investigating a Possible Treatment of Duchene Muscular Dystrophy with a Novel Calpain Inhibitor [abstract]
Bradley, Sarah E.; Ning, Jie; Markert, Chad D.; Bogan, Daniel J.; Kornegay, Joe N. (University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)Duchene Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common lethal X-linked recessive muscle disease, affecting nearly one out of every 3,500 newborn males. Symptoms appear before age three and by eleven, most children are unable ... -
Masticatory loading and soft-tissue plasticity in the mammalian circumorbital region
Jasarevic, Eldin; Ning, Jie; Menegaz, Rachel; Miller, Douglas C.; Stack, M. Sharon, 1959-; Ravosa, Matthew J. (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)Masticatory loading is the key to understanding the plasticity or epigenetic responses of many of the soft and hard tissues of the mammalian skull. Diet-induced variation in the magnitude and/or frequency of masticatory ...
