Crossover: boundaries, hybridity, and the problem of opposing cultures
Classical crossover is a term regularly used but not yet adequately defined. This<br/>thesis attempts to redress this imbalance through a study of the relationships<br/>between high and low musical cultures. Starting from the separation of highbrow<br/>and lowbrow, the concepts of genre and musical …

Use of Defensive and Receptive Reasoning Strategies and Receptiveness to Opposing Political Views
… their previously held views while engaging with opposing political views. Although researchers have examined specific defensive reasoning strategies, few studies of how individuals engage with opposing views have included both defensive and receptive reasoning strategies, and none have examined …

Cell Migration on Opposing Rigidity Protein Gradients: Single Cell and Co-culture Studies
… designed novel hydrogels that exhibit dual and opposing chemical and mechanical profiles using photo-polymerization. Our studies demonstrate that durotaxis, a well-known phenomenon, can be reversed when cells sense a steep protein profile in the opposite direction. Fibroblasts were co-cultured …

Folate: Friend or Foe? An investigation into the opposing roles of folate in glioma
… The aim of this thesis was to investigate the opposing roles of folate in glioma. The glioma cell lines 1321N1, U87 MG and non-cancerous glial SVGp12 cells were used for analysis. Cells were grown in folate deficient, folic or folinic acid supplemented media and compared to standard cell …

The synthetic multivulva genes and their suppressors regulate opposing cell fates through chromatin remodeling
The synthetic multivulva (synMuv) genes act redundantly to inhibit vulval fates in Caenorhabditis elegans. These genes are grouped into three classes called A, B and C. The class A genes encode putative transcription factors. The class B and C genes encode presumptive transcriptional repressors and …

OPPOSING ROLES OF THE μ-OPIOID AND NOCICEPTIN/ORPHANIN FQ RECEPTORS IN OLIGODENDROCYTE DEVELOPMENT AND MYELINATION
<p>While the classical function of myelin is to facilitate saltatory conduction, this membrane and the myelin-making oligodendrocytes (OLGs) are now recognized as regulators of plasticity and remodeling in the central nervous system (CNS). Thus, OLG maturation and myelination are highly vulnerable …

Opposing Actin Networks Modulate the Mechano-Activation of the Integrin LFA-1 During Immunological Synapse formation
Formation of a functional immune response requires the regulated transfer of information between T cells, and APCs, which leads to a variety of functional outcomes. In many cases this information transfer occurs at a regulated area of cell - cell contact termed the immunological synapse (IS). In T …

The Genome-Wide Roles of The Lung Lineage Transcription Factor Nkx2-1 In The Regulation of Opposing Cell Fates In Vivo
<p>Lineage transcription factors mark, promote, and maintain multiple distinct cell types originating from a common progenitor. Despite their essential role, how such factors function and bind genome wide to orchestrate the epigenetic changes necessary to form and maintain these identities in vivo …
