Molecular Investigations of the Diversity of Freshwater Fishes across Three Continents 

Hayes, Malorie (2020-07-02)
Fishes are the most speciose vertebrates, and incredible diversity can be found within different groups of fish. Due to their physiological limitations, fish are confined to waters, and in freshwater fish, this is restricted ...

Molecular Mechanisms Associated with Canine Cyclic Hematopoiesis 

Meng, Ronghua (2008-05-15)
Canine cyclic hematopoiesis (CH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by 12-14 day neutrophil cycles, a diluted coat color, and platelet storage pool disease. Canine CH is caused by a mutation in AP3B1, encoding ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenase-Mediated Pyrethroid Resistance in the House Fly, Musca domestica (L.) 

Zhu, Fang (2007-08-15)
A wild-type pyrethroid resistant house fly strain, ALHF, was collected from a poultry farm in Alabama after control failure with permethrin (a pyrethroid insecticide). It was further selected with permethrin for 6 generations ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Neuroprotection and Cognitive Enhancement by an Alternative drug Centella asiatica 

Ahuja, Manuj (2013-04-22)
Complementary and Alternative medicine (CAM) is increasingly gaining enormous importance as a part of current day therapeutic regimen for various incurable, chronic neurological disorders, majorly because of the palliative ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Neuroprotection by an Alternative Drug Scutellaria lateriflora 

Lohani, Madhukar (2014-07-21)
Anxiety is one of the most prevalent neuropsychological disorders around the world. In the United States of America (USA), it is a serious health problem affecting a large number of people and is considered as one of the ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Pyrethroid Resistance in the Mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) 

Xu, Qiang (2007-08-15)
Mosquitoes have been the ideal transmitters of a wide variety of disease agents due to their repeated blood feedings over their life span. Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) is an important disease vector in the Southeastern ...

Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Hepatic Fetuin-A Expression 

Kothari, Vishal (2016-12-05)
Fetuin-A (Fet-A) is a hepatokine, known to inhibit insulin signaling and is associated with diabetes, cardiovascular outcomes and inflammation. Post-translational modification of fetuin-A at different glycosylation and ...

Molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic dysfunction in Aging Alzheimer's disease and Diabetes 

Kariharan, Thiruchelvam (2012-01-19)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and diabetes (DB) contribute to the development of early brain aging and cognitive dysfunction. Mechanistic basis of cognitive dysfunction in AD and DB is not well elucidated. Resistance to age ...

Molecular modeling, design, and synthesis of some potential selective DNA minor groove alkylators 

Alturki, Mansour (2021-12-03)  ETD File Embargoed
Small molecules-DNA interactions are responsible for many biological processes. The DNA present in normal and tumor cells are almost identical. Therefore, DNA targeting drugs are used only in serious and life-threatening ...
