Characterization of Esrrb function in metastatic prostate cancer cells and transcriptional regulation of hedgehog-signaling pathway target genes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Orphan nuclear receptor Estrogen Receptor Related Receptor Beta (Esrrb) is a transcription factor. Although it was also shown to be important in cancer, little is known about its function in cancer cells and cancer relevant ... -
Development of novel breast cancer-targeted spect imaging peptides by phage display
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Malignancy of the breast is the leading cause of cancer among women and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Despite implementation of mammograms and breast exams, there still exists a need to detect highly ... -

Nitrate and nitrite growth inhibition of Desulfovibrio strains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Sulfate-reducing bacteria, common non-pathogenic soil bacteria, have the ability to limit the movement of toxic heavy metals from one environmental site to another by keeping those metals from dissolving in water. Limiting ... -
The role of Rex in regulation of sulfate reduction in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Although the enzymes for dissimilatory sulfate reduction by microbes have been studied, the mechanism for transcriptional regulation of the encoding genes remain unknown. In the work presented here, the model sulfate-reducing ... -
The role of the P2Y2 nucleotide receptor in salivary gland regeneration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Salivary gland dysfunction affects millions of Americans whose quality of life is severely impacted by dry mouth, oral bacterial infections, poor nutrition, and other disorders that are associated with decreased saliva ... -
