Regulation of Anti-tumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer by Interaction of Exosome Immune Complexes with Fc gamma Receptors
DownloadSpring 2019
Targeted therapy is difficult for colorectal cancer (CRC) due to lack of conserved tumor associated antigens (TAA). Immunotherapies for CRC directed at TAA that can overcome intestinal tolerance need to be developed to improve survival of CRC patients. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted...

In Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), pro-constrictive, pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic diatheses converge to produce contraction and excessive proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC), a hallmark of PAH-vascular remodeling. The increased afterload causes right...

A Multi-perspective Concept Mapping Study of Head and Neck Cancer Treatment Outcome Priorities
DownloadFall 2020
Background Head and neck cancer treatments have been showing promising outcomes, yet they often have significant impact on patients. With an approximate 50% survival rate, individuals with a history of this type of cancer are living with long term challenges. With the increasing focus on...

Adiposity and fat loss in cancer: Exploring the prognostic significance and underlying mechanisms of adipose alterations in cancer
DownloadSpring 2017
During cancer progression, many patients will experience some degree of wasting of both muscle and adipose tissue. However, little is-known about adipose tissue alterations after a cancer diagnosis. Therefore, this research was conducted to first understand the prognostic significance of adipose...

An investigation of aminoglutethimide cytotoxicity and its role in activation of cell death signaling pathways
DownloadFall 2013
Aminoglutethimide (AG), a drug used for the treatment of breast and ovarian cancers, is known to cause toxicities such as agranulocytosis. To investigate its toxicity mechanisms, we have used quantitative proteomic analysis to gain insight into the proteome of Human Leukemia 60 (HL-60) treated...

Spring 2014
The TOB (Topogenesis of Outer membrane β-barrel proteins) complex is composed of the core proteins Tob55 (Sam50), Tob37 (Sam37) and Tob38 (Sam35). The complex facilitates the insertion of all β-barrel and some α-helically anchored integral proteins into the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM)....

Anthocyanins and Gingerols Exhibit Synergism in their Anticancer and Antioxidant Effects in Vitro
DownloadFall 2022
Anthocyanins and gingerols are naturally occurring phenolic compounds abundant in berries and ginger, respectively. They have been reported to induce antioxidant effects, inhibit the growth of different cancer cell lines, and stimulate apoptosis by modulating different cellular signal pathways....
