Alternative applications of whole genome de novo assembly in animal genomics /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Genome sequencing is the process by which the sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) residues that compromise the genome, or complete set of genetic materials of an organism or individual, is determined. Down-stream ... -
Chlorinated lipid induce inflammatory responses in the microcirculation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Previous studies from our research group have shown that chlorinated lipid, generated from the neutrophil-myeloperoxidase (MPO) system, are elevated in a rat sepsis model as well as in plasma of septic patients. Other work ... -
Dendritic cells contribute to perivascular adipose tissue dysfunction in type 2 diabetes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)T2DM is a chronic disease characterized by low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue. Recent investigations have shown that a variety of immune cells can accumulate in adipose tissue contributing to the development of chronic ... -
Dissecting water stress-induced molecular responses in the maize primary root
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Drought is an important environmental factor limiting crop growth and productivity. With additional pressures arising from population growth and global ... -
Endothelial phenotype differs by both sex and vessel function
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Endothelial cells (the cells that line our blood vessels) were once thought to be an inert cellophane-like wrapper separating flowing blood from tissue. However, as our understanding of the human body has progressed, we ... -
Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) directs IL-4/IL-13 induced death of neonatal Th1 cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Newborns typically have immune responses that are allergic, due to a predominance of Th2 cells, and lack the ability to respond to vaccines as well as display poor protection against microbes, due to a lack of Th1 cells. ... -
Kinetic study of histidine kinase CheA in bacterial chemotaxis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Histidine kinase CheA is central to signaling in bacterial chemotaxis. This kinase is responsible for the phosphorylation of two response regulators, CheY and CheB. CheY controls flagellar rotation and thus motility. CheB ... -
