FACILITATION AND DISRUPTION BY MESCALINE OF SHUTTLEBOX AVOIDANCE IN RATS
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1975) -
Fast synaptic transmission and release probability in the vertebrate CNS mediated by multiple nicotinic receptors
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2009)The ability to quantify the parameters of synaptic transmission, namely release probability, p, the number of vesicles ready to be released, n, and the postsynaptic response to the contents of one vesicle, q, is useful ... -
Fate specification in mouse inner ear development
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2003)The embryonic otic epithelium may be viewed as a model system for the study of tissue patterning and cell fate specification in vertebrates. Growth, differentiation, and morphological elaboration transform a simple epithelial ... -
FATTY ACID DEGRADATION IN CAULOBACTER CRESCENTUS (LIPID METABOLISM, OXIDATION ENZYMES)
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1986)The pathway of fatty acid utilization was investigated in Caulobacter crescentus. Two strains of C. crescentus were shown to utilize fatty acids as sole carbon source and five enzymes involved in a (beta)-oxidation degradative ... -
Fc gamma receptor activation in human microglia in response to Cryptococcus neoformans immune complex
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2003)Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated fungal pathogen that is remarkable for its ability to cause central nervous system infections especially in AMS patients. We designed studies to explore the roles of microglial ... -
Feline leukemia virus pathogenesis and regulation: A model system for lymphomagenesis
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1998)Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is an important pathogen of domestic cats. It causes a wide range of neoplastic, degenerative, and proliferative diseases. I designed and employed a novel genetic system to identify genetic ... -
Female sex steroid hormonal control of cell cycle regulatory molecules and genetic evidence for their interactions in mice
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2000)The uterine epithelium in response to female sex steroid hormones provides an excellent model to study cell proliferation in vivo. When administered to ovariectomized adult mice estradiol-17beta (E2) stimulates a synchronized ... -
Female sex steroid hormonal regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation through the targeting of multiple pathways
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2006)Female sex steroid hormones Estradiol-17beta(E2) and Progesterone (P4) cooperate to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy. Thus the uterus serves as an excellent in ... -
Fidgetin-like 2: A novel microtubule-based regulator of wound healing and vasculogenesis
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2015)The microtubule cytoskeleton has been implicated in regulating cell migration in vitro through the functions of different molecules that affect the stability and organization of the polymer. However, whether this involvement ... -
Filovirus requirements and susceptibility: Niemann-pick Cl is a genetic determinant of Ebola virus infection in bats
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2015)Lloviu virus (LLOV), a phylogenetically divergent filovirus, is the proposed etiologic agent of Schreibers's long-fingered bat (Miniopterus schreibersii ) die-offs in western Europe. Studies of LLOV remain limited because ... -
Fishing for T -box networks that regulate cardiac specifications and morphogenesis
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2010)The heart is the first functioning organ to form in the developing embryo and defects during this process can lead to either embryonic lethality or congenital heart defects in humans, the leading cause of congenital ... -
Flagellar and chemotaxis gene expression in Caulobacter crescentus
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1988)Caulobacter crescentus builds surface structures at specific times in the cell cycle. One of these structures is a single flagellum, which is assembled at a defined cellular location. Chemotaxis proteins are also differentially ... -
FLAGELLAR FILAMENT OF CAULOBACTER CRESCENTUS: SUBUNIT CHARACTERIZATION AND ORGANIZATION
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1982)Two flagellins, Fla A (25,000 daltons) and Fla B (27,500), are isolated in a 4:1 ratio from populations of flagella shed into the culture medium by the gram-negative bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. I have purified Fla A ... -
FLASH VISUAL EVOKED POTENTIALS IN THE MONKEY
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1986)To delineate the spatiotemporal pattern of intracortical generators of the flash visual evoked potential (VEP), recordings of the VEP and concurrent multiple unit activity (MUA) were made from closely spaced sites through ... -
Flash-evoked activity in the macaque form and color pathway
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1992)Goals. These experiments investigated neuroelectric activity within the primate visual pathways. One goal was to examine the degree of which the temporal activation sequences across visual regions adheres to a hierarchical ... -
FLOW PATTERNS AROUND HEART VALVES: A DIGITAL COMPUTER METHOD FOR SOLVING THE EQUATIONS OF MOTION
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1972) -
FLUID GENOMES: OBSERVATIONS ON THE REARRANGEMENT OF DNA SEQUENCES
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1980) -
Follicle cell expression of the Drosophila pipe gene defines dorsal -ventral polarity in the embryo
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2000)Determination of dorsal-ventral (DV) polarity in the Drosophila embryo involves two sequentially acting signal transduction pathways. The DV polarity of the egg chamber is specified by a localized signal from the oocyte ... -
