Riano Rocha, Edgar Hernando (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Records of embryo production in Red Brahman donor cows (n=50) and F1 recipients (n=531) were evaluated from the collection day to the birth of the embryo produced. The effects of the sire of the donor and the embryo, ...
-
Lal Das, Shashwat (2014-11-26)Microscopy has developed into a very powerful medium for studying the brain. The Knife-Edge Scanning Microscope (KESM), for example, is capable of imaging whole rat and mouse brains in three dimensions, and produces over ...
-
Brandon, Jimi Lynn (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The present study was carried out to examine the chemopreventive effects of curcumin and green tea polyphenols on the hamster cheek pouch carcinogenesis model. This model of oral carcinogenesis has been widely used in ...
-
Miller, Daniel Evan (2014-12-10)Skeleton representations are a fundamental way of representing a variety of solid models. They are particularly important for representing certain biological models and are often key to visualizing such data. Several methods ...
-
Kim, Jeesu (2017-07-07)Diabetic retinopathy is a major secondary complication of type 2 diabetes. To regulate blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients, metformin is popularly prescribed as an oral drug in mono- and combination therapies. ...
-
Sung, Chul (2014-04-25)Advances in high-throughput, high-volume microscopy techniques have enabled the acquisition of extremely detailed anatomical structures on human or animal organs. The Knife-Edge Scanning Microscope (KESM) is one of the ...
-
Mayerich, David (2010-01-16)The ability to create large-scale high-resolution models of biological tissue provides an excellent opportunity for expanding our understanding of tissue structure and function. This is particularly important for brain ...
-
Muddana, Hari Shankar (2009-05-15)Nature encourages diversity in life forms (morphologies). The study of morphogenesis deals with understanding those processes that arise during the embryonic development of an organism. These processes control the organized ...
-
Redmond, Jeremy Scott (2012-02-14)Increased pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) is critical for pubertal initiation of ovarian cycles in female mammals. Kisspeptin, a peptide product of the Kiss1 gene, ...
-
Choi, Jinho (2013-07-17)The microstructure of the brain at the cellular level provides crucial information for the understanding of the function of the brain. A large volume of high-resolution brain image data from 3D microscopy is an essential ...
-
Lee, Junseok (2018-07-30)Mapping the microvascular networks in the brain can lead to significant scientific and clinical insights. The recent advances of high-throughput physical sectioning light microscopy have greatly contributed to reducing the ...
-
Krock, Bryan L. (2010-07-14)Vertebrate photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory neurons that utilize a modified cilium known as the outer segment to detect light. Proper trafficking of proteins to the outer segment is essential for photoreceptor ...
-
Pathogenesis of Theiler’s Murine Encephalomyelitis Virus (TMEV) in an Experimental Model of Epilepsy Bijalwan, Megha (2017-09-01)Epilepsy is a complex neurological disease composed of two or more unprovoked seizures that occur due to aberrant neuronal hyperexcitability. Detailed analysis of the mechanisms involved in epilepsy is required since there ...
-
Francis Stuart, Samantha D. (2014-05-06)Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal with no known physiological function in higher order animals. Previous studies in primary cultures of neonatal rat choroid plexus (CP) epithelial cells indicated Cd induced oxidative ...
-
Zhang, Wencong (2014-09-23)Research about the microstructure of the brain provides important information to help understand the functions of the brain. In order to investigate large volume, high-resolution data of mouse brains, researchers from Brain ...
-
Shah, Raj Sunil (2014-12-18)The Knife-Edge Scanning Microscope (KESM) employs a novel form of physical sectioning microscopy: Imaging of tissue while sectioning. KESM was developed in the Brain Networks Lab (BNL) at Texas A&M University. The KESM has ...
-
Thompson, Jeffrey (2012-12-01)Apoptosis is essential not only to the normal development of a multicellular organism but also for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. This proposal seeks to investigate, in part, the role of oligodendrocyte (OL) ...
-
Lungu, Gina Florentina (2009-05-15)Here we studied the role of hypoxia and hypoxia-induced factors in the development of breast cancer brain metastasis by using ENU1564, a carcinogen-induced mammary adenocarcinoma cell line. We detected hypoxia noninvasively ...
-
Singhal, Ankur (2015-08-04)The vascular architecture of the brain is very complex and reconstruction of this architecture can aid in understanding the functions of vessels in different regions of the brain. Advances in microscopy have enabled ...
