Steroid Receptor Coactivator-3 Inhibition Generates Breast Cancer Antitumor Immune Microenvironment, Sang Jun Han, Nuri Sung, Jin Wang, Bert W O'Malley, David M Lonard

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

BACKGROUND: The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) generated by cancer-infiltrating immune cells has a crucial role in promoting or suppressing breast cancer progression. However, whether the steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3) modulates TIME to progress breast cancer is unclear. Therefore, the present study evaluates whether SRC-3 generates a tumor-promoting TIME in breast tumors using a syngeneic immune-intact mouse model of breast cancer.

METHODS: We employed E0771 and 4T1 breast cancer in immune-intact syngeneic female C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice, respectively. SI-2, a specific small-molecule inhibitor of SRC-3, was administered daily (2.5 mg/kg) to E0771 and 4T1 breast tumor-bearing immune-intact mice. In addition, SRC-3 …

Environmental Influence On Stickleback Fish Phenotype, Alaina A. Young

RURALS: Review of Undergraduate Research in Agricultural and Life Sciences

Abstract

Sticklebacks have grown to be a model organism in the last few decades because they have undergone a rapid adaptive radiation event. Portions of the original marine population have migrated to isolated freshwater ecosystems and their fundamental niche has expanded. Variation among select phenotypic traits is a direct result of selective pressures imposed by new environment types. Lateral plates have been the most widely analyzed trait, it is hypothesized that great variation in plate quantity has resulted from expansion events. Lateral plates are pieces of an exoskeleton in addition to the already established endoskeleton. This study aims to assess …

A Proposed E-Readiness Assessment Model For University Libraries In Nigeria, Muhammad Kabir Abubakar

Antiproliferative Effects Of Some Medicinal Plants On Colorectal Cancer: A Mini Review, Jamilah Borjac

BAU Journal - Health and Wellbeing

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the highly prevalent and deadly cancers worldwide. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the conventional treatment modalities for CRC; however, they cause adverse side effects and can be associated with cancer resistance and relapse. Currently, traditional herbal medicine is becoming increasingly studied and used in combination with conventional treatments in CRC. Various medicinal plants have shown promising anticancer effects against CRC concomitant with negligible side effects. For example, Annona muricata (soursop), Chenopodium quinoa (quinoa), Matricaria chamomilla (chamomile), and Moringa oleifera (moringa) have shown remarkable antiproliferative effects against CRC both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, …

Foreign Object Debris Detection For Airport Pavement Images Based On Self-Supervised Localization And Vision Transformer, Travis Munyer, Daniel Brinkman, Xin Zhong, Chenyu Huang, Iason Konstantzos

Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction: Faculty Publications

Supervised object detection methods provide subpar performance when applied to Foreign Object Debris (FOD) detection because FOD could be arbitrary objects according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) specification. Current supervised object detection algorithms require datasets that contain annotated examples of every to-be-detected object. While a large and expensive dataset could be developed to include common FOD examples, it is infeasible to collect all possible FOD examples in the dataset representation because of the openended nature of FOD. Limitations of the dataset could cause FOD detection systems driven by those supervised algorithms to miss certain FOD, which can become dangerous …
