The Functional Analysis of Four Connexin50 Variants to Determine the Physiological Relevance of Connexin50 Protein Domains
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 2007-12-01) -
Functional Analysis of Human Sts-2 and Sts-2 Mutants Derived from Vitiligo Patients
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Dec-12)The purpose of this study was twofold: firstly, to investigate the functional differences between the short and long isoforms of human Sts-2, and secondly to identify functional consequences of specific mutations within ... -
Functional analysis of poliovirus protein 2CATPase in viral RNA replication and encapsidation using alanine scanning mutagenesis
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Dec-11)Polypeptide 2C<super>ATPase</super> is one of the most thoroughly studied but least understood proteins in the life cycle of poliovirus. Within the protein, multiple functional domains, important for uncoating, host cell ... -
Functional analysis of the protein tyrosine phosphatase family in mammary epithelial cell models of breast cancer
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Dec-10)The protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) superfamily of enzymes is encoded by ~100 genes. In coordinating with protein tyrosine kinases (PTK), they regulate signaling pathways that control a broad spectrum of fundamental ... -
Functional Characterization of Electrospun Dextran/Polylactide-co-glycolide Scaffold in vitro and in vivo and its Potential as a Wound Dressing in Diabetic Chronic Wound Treatment
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 2008-05-01) -
Functional Comparison of Connexin26 Wild-type and Non-syndromic Recessive Deafness Associated Mutant Channels
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 2007-12-01) -
Functional Dissection of the Proteins of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Associated Degradation (ERAD) Pathway
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 2007-12-01) -
Functional Genomic Identification of Multiple Targets for Inhibiting Tumor-Promoting Fibroblasts
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-May-12)There is increasing evidence that cancers develop as aberrant tissues with co-evolving tumor and surrounding non-malignant cells rather than from a single aberrant cell that has undergone multiple genetic alterations. As ... -
The functional morphology of subchondral and trabecular bone in the hominoid tibiotalar joint
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-11)This dissertation investigated whether the internal bone morphology of the distal tibia and talus may help to further clarify the controversial mosaics of external morphological traits previously found in fossil hominin ... -
The Functions and Consequences of Intergroup Aggression among Argentine Tufted Capuchin Monkeys (<italic>Cebus apella</italic> [<italic>Sapajus</italic>] <italic>nigritus</italic>)
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-12)Intergroup encounters provide dramatic examples of cooperative behavior, in which unrelated individuals may coordinate aggression when mutual benefits arise from defending access to resources. While between-group competition ... -
The Functions of Atypical PKC and the PAR Complex in Axon Growth Inhibition
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-May-12)The failure of axon regeneration at injury sites in the central nervous system is due, at least in part, to the formation of a growth-inhibitory environment. The glial scar formed at injury sites contains numerous ... -
Functions of Interferon Stimulated Gene, ISG54
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Aug-12)The ability of interferons to protect cells from viral infection depends on the activation of multiple interferon-stimulated genes that together induce an anti-viral state. One of the genes is Interferon Stimulated Gene ... -
The Functions of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury in an Adolescent Clinical Sample: Frequency, Structure, and Psychological Correlates
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-May-11)Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI; e.g., cutting and burning) is most prevalent among adolescents, especially in clinical populations. Understanding the functions of NSSI can help clarify the behavior's etiology and treatment. ... -
Gadamer's Hermeneutic Holism
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 2008-05-01) -
GaSb-based Type-I Diode Lasers Operating at 3 μm and above
(The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY., 1-Dec-11)The ultimate goal of the research is the development of the semiconductor lasers operating at room temperature under continuous wave regime at 3 μm and above. This dissertation focuses on room temperature operated ... -
