Creator:: Sherman, Anna
Abstract:: Summary Recent research has identified Retinoid-X-Receptorα (RXRα), a nuclear receptor involved in ligand mediated transcription, as having a protective function against the malignant transformation of melanocytes after treatment with chemical carcinogens. This study used mice selectively lacking keratinocytic RXRα in combination with an oncogenic mutation, either Cdk4[Superscript R24C/R24C] or N-Ras[Superscript...

Abstract:: We compiled Western Pond Turtle (Actinemys marmorata) and Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta) locations in northwestern North America, consolidating data from multiple sources including nine U.S. State and Canadian Provincial jurisdictions. We assessed numbers of discrete locations, and analyzed distribution patterns temporally and spatially. Western Pond Turtle observation records ranged from...

Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms through which stem cells self-renew is important for the development of new therapies to repair and restore damaged tissue. This research explores possible mechanisms of telomere mimic action and seeks to validate a new assay for evaluating telomere binding antagonists and studying the effects of telomere binding...

Creator:: Leondar, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: ABSTRACT Wetlands are considered critically important in the delivery of ecosystem services such as water quality improvement, flood protection, and conservation of native biodiversity. A common measure of the effectiveness of these ecosystem services is denitrification, an anaerobic microbial process that converts nitrate (NO3-), a common water pollutant, into dinitrogen...
