The identification of a diagnostic biomarker panel for canine osteoarthritis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
A novel biomarker panel for the diagnosis of early osteoarthritis (OA) in canines has been identified. This panel consists of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1), interleukin-8 (IL-8), keratinocyte-derived chemoattractant ...
Effects of continous administration of low-dose of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide in chicks and poults fed non toxic doses of aflatoxin B1 and T-2 toxin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Six studies (three with broilers and three with turkeys) were conducted to determine if E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) would enhance the effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and the T-2 toxin (T-2) in chicks and poults fed ...
Mechanisms of clostridial toxin binding and translocation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The bacterial genus Clostridium consists of over 150 species of anaerobic, fermentative, spore-forming bacilli. Clostridial species produce up to 20% of all known bacterial exotoxins, which serve as important virulence ...
Contribution of the immune system and astrocytes to spinal muscular atrophy pathology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease and the leading genetic cause of infant mortality. SMA is caused by ...
DLC1 as a comparative epigenetic biomarker for radiotherapy of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The American Cancer Society estimates that 58,870 people were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in 2006, and 18,840 people died of the disease. Recent investigation of epigenetic gene regulation has identified ...
Biology of uterine glands : impact on reproductive function
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
