Influenza virus strategies to regulate S1P-metabolizing enzymes and evade host innate immunity for robust viral replication
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
previously shown that sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) lyase (SPL) enhances IKK[epsilon]-mediated type I IFN responses. Here, we show that the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of IAV counteracts the SPL-mediated antiviral response by inducing SPL degradation. SPL...

Young adulthood is a critical time in the life course when access to resources and opportunities help determine later in life outcomes. To contribute to the research on young adults, this dissertation uses restricted health ...
Effects of differential and combinatorial inhibition of myostatin and activin A in the G610 murine model of osteogenesis imperfecta
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Bone fragility, increased susceptibility to fracture, and low bone mineral density (BMD) are hallmarks of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a rare skeletal disorder that arises primarily from defects in the generation, quantity ...
Genetic architecture and marker-assisted breeding for salt tolerance in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that inhibits plant growth and causes seed yield loss in soybean. Although a major gene for salt tolerance on chromosome (Chr.) 3 was mapped, cloned and characterized, it does ...
