Developing A Murine Model To Investigate The Mechanisms Of Peanut, Cashew, Shrimp Multifood Allergy, Aaron Wilson
Developing A Murine Model To Investigate The Mechanisms Of Peanut, Cashew, Shrimp Multifood Allergy, Aaron Wilson
NYMC Student Theses and Dissertations
Approximately 32 million people in the United States have food allergies, which is approximately 10 percent of the population. Food allergies can be mild, moderate, or even severe, resulting in anaphylaxis. The most predominant food groups that trigger food allergies include peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. Peanuts and tree nuts have some similarities in protein structure. Shellfish is not associated with the protein properties of peanuts or tree nuts, it is the leading cause of adult anaphylaxis and often co-exist with peanut and tree nut allergies Currently, there are few studies that have established a murine model for allergy …
Remodeling Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer's Aggressive Profile And Metabolic Signature By Natural Alkaloid Berberine, Tara Elizabeth Jarboe
Remodeling Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer's Aggressive Profile And Metabolic Signature By Natural Alkaloid Berberine, Tara Elizabeth Jarboe
NYMC Student Theses and Dissertations
Anaplastic thyroid cancer is a rare, fatal cancer with a five-year survival of 4%. Universally diagnosed at stage IV, anaplastic thyroid cancer is characterized by its lack of differentiation, rapid proliferative rate, highly inflammatory tumor microenvironment, and metabolic dysregulation. Refractory to all established therapies, anaplastic thyroid cancer requires a novel therapeutic approach that targets all of these drivers of anaplastic thyroid cancer carcinogenesis. We propose natural alkaloid berberine as a therapeutic with multitarget efficacy to alter mitochondrial metabolism and reprogram anaplastic thyroid cancer’s aggressive phenotype. Our in vitro model uses monocyte cell line U937, anaplastic thyroid cancer cell lines T238 …
The Critical Role Of Tnf Receptors Versus Nadph Oxidase In Controlling Babesia Microti Infection, Amal Balahmar
The Critical Role Of Tnf Receptors Versus Nadph Oxidase In Controlling Babesia Microti Infection, Amal Balahmar
NYMC Student Theses and Dissertations
Babesia microti is an apicomplexan parasite transmitted by tick bite that infects red blood cells. It is increasingly associated with transfusion-transmitted infections including fatal infection as the parasite survives blood banking procedures. The infection can range from asymptomatic to fatal. The parasite can persist in relatively asymptomatic individuals for up to two years. The host and parasite determinants of severity of infection and/or parasite clearance remain largely unknown. However, asplenic and immune suppressed individuals including the very young and relatively old, greater than 50 years of age, are more vulnerable to severe disease. The goal of the current research is …
How Compatible Is Cow’S Milk With The Human Immune System?, Mindy Knopfler
How Compatible Is Cow’S Milk With The Human Immune System?, Mindy Knopfler
The Science Journal of the Lander College of Arts and Sciences
Cow’s milk has been part of the human diet for at least 8,000 years and provides a rich source of proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals. Despite its longstanding importance in human nutrition, questions remain about how compatible cow’s milk is with our immune system. Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is the most common form of food allergy in infants and children and cow’s milk has been implicated in a number of immune-mediated disorders. Reviewing current research obtained through Google Scholar and Touro’s library database on CMA and the potential role of cow’s milk in systemic inflammation and autoimmunity reveals a tangle …
