Specifically, this study examined shrines and altars within the home as an expression of religious symbolism. An online survey instrument solicited quantitative and qualitative responses from those who self-identify as “pagan” or “neo-pagan”. Snowball sampling was used; prospective participants from the population were contacted via known online fora and asked to propagate the study among their peers. Due to the private nature of many neo-pagans regarding spiritual beliefs and practices, a snowball sample was deemed necessary to reach as many individuals as possible. Data collection concluded on November 18, 2009 with 263 respondents. https://aurora.auburn.edu/handle/11200/49677 Nerve Growth Factor Receptor TrkA, a New Receptor in Insulin Signaling Pathway in PC12 cells TrkA is a cell surface transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase for nerve growth factor (NGF). TrkA has an NPXY motif and kinase regulatory loop similar to insulin receptor (INSR) suggesting that NGF→TrkA signaling might overlap with insulin→INSR signaling. During insulin or NGF stimulation TrkA, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), INSR (and presumably other proteins) forms a complex in PC12 cells. In PC12 cells, tyrosine phosphorylation of INSR and IRS-1 is dependent upon the functional TrkA kinase domain. Moreover, expression of TrkA kinase−inactive mutant blocked the activation of Akt and Erk5 in response to insulin or NGF. Based on these data, we propose that TrkA participates in insulin signaling pathway in PC12 cells. https://aurora.auburn.edu/handle/11200/49139 Framework for identifying implemenation issues affecting extension human science programming: Supplemental References https://aurora.auburn.edu/handle/11200/49138 References Cummings References and Resources for
