Thesis/Project Title: The Effect of Trans Cutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulus (TENS) on TNF-alpha in somatic cell hybrid of a rat embryonic dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and mouse neuroblastoma cell line F11

Multiple-Choice Tests: To Change or Not to Change? This is the question

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation-like Downregulates Interleukin-1 Beta, looking at MicroRNA and their interaction in the inflammatory and pro inflammatory cascade.

Planned activities:

Checking mir-181b-1, mir-10 and mir-124 for interaction possibly blocking the p65 NFkB unit.

Once a micro RNA that is blocking the NFkB sub unit is found within our cell culture, inflammatory cytokines will be measured before and after TENS.
