Characterization of an in vitro neural stem cell niche with educational component : stem cells and society
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
to form structures that exhibit key properties of a developing neural stem cell niche. We believe this system can serve as a usefull model for studies of neurogenesis and stem cell maintenance in the NSC niche as well as for applications in stem cell...
A multi-scale investigation of ecologically relevant effects of agricultural runoff on amphibians
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Modification of landscapes for agricultural production can introduce agrochemicals into surface waters and degrade aquatic habitats used by many amphibians for breeding and larval development. Although many ecotoxicological studies have shown...
