(2019)The overexpression of certain peptide receptors on cancers cells can be exploited for the development of radiopharmaceuticals that are selectively delivered to cancer cells for diagnostic imaging or therapeutic purposes. ... -
Anisotropic shock response of 1,3,5-Triamino-2,4,6-Trinitrobenzene (TATB)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)All-atom molecular dynamics simulations were used to study shock wave loading in both oriented single crystals and two orientations with the presence of a grain boundary of the highly anisotropic triclinic molecular crystal ... -
DNA interstrand crosslinks arising from DAN strand breaks at true abasic sites in duplex DNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Abasic sites (apurinic/apyrimidinic sites, Ap sites) are one of the most common forms of lesions found in genomic DNA. For the past decade, Gates group has endeavored to identify DNA interstrand crosslinks arising from Ap ... -
Diverse applications of covalent cross-links in duplex DNA: From anti-cancer drugs to the detection of disease-relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms to the synthesis of well-defined substrates for the study of novel DNA repair processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Abasic (Ap) sites are a common form of DNA lesion that occur endogenously 50,000-200,000 per cell per day in mammals. The alkylation of the guanine and adenine residues by the alkylating agents such as nitrogen mustards ... -
The use of pluripotent stem cells as a model for early human placentation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Throughout gestation, the placenta plays a critical role in ensuring proper development of the fetus. The placenta functions to exchange nutrients, ... -
Arsenic-72, 77 as a matched pair radiopharmaceutical for imaging and radiotherapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Radiopharmaceuticals deliver radionuclides to specific target sites via the bifunctional chelate approach, where the radionuclides are chelated with a ligand and linked to a targeting biomolecule. They can be categorized ... -
Development of radiolabeled metal chalcogenide nanoparticles for targeted adiotherapy against an infection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Targeted radiotherapy has been demonstrated to be therapeutic against infections with doses comparable to what a patient would receive for cancer ... -
Studies and synthetic methodology of Nampt inhibition
